ReplyDeleteSo its the money from Niger Delta Mr. President is planning to built north east that boko haram has has been ravishing. So Mr. President, that is why you re trying to use justice against PDP governors in the south south. So the pollution in the Niger Delta is of no importance to you. Instead of you telling Nigerians how you plan to clean the region from long years of oil pollution, you are thinking of causing more harm and siphoning the money to build your homeland. I am sure nemesis will catch up with you to the point that crude will sell at #0.00 in your regime. God has a way of dealing with tyrant. Deploy all the army battalion to Niger Delta that is peace and be allowing boko haram to be wasting innocent lives. May God help Nigeria.
