I’m sorry if anyone think both men are saints
Where was this group in the last govt.have they just woken up
Are members of this dubious “Anti-Impunity Group”dunces who do not understand the Constitution? Why can”t they wait for the 30 days as provided by law withing which the declarations will be made public? But were they alive during the last dispensation? They should just be ignored as agents of the last clueless government. Duka Dan banza kena.
Hey wait a minute aren’t these two supposed to be the harbinger of the much flaunted “change” under which premise they ran? I think the salient and the least they can offer Nigeria is to keep their electioneering promise of doing things differently from the past.And for you Mr Omowena, Nigeria is not in the past, we are supposed to be under a new dispensation of “SHENGI” Sege mallam.
Even in nature, there is a proper time and procedure for every matter. For example, you did not start walking right
out of your mothers womb. First, you cralled and then you learned to walk. So, be patient, BUHARIs administration will toe the proper time and procedure. Have a nice day.
We will review and take appropriate action.
