Buhari wht's your business in PDP convention now?
ReplyDeleteNigeria now has a dictator as civilian president. Sorry Nigeria
ReplyDeleteU guys should shut your trap..everything na Bhuari.its payback time
ReplyDeleteGuys commenting on Fayose should know he is a propagandist, afterall he said some guys shot at his car during his election yet no bullet holes on his car. He could have said he did not want to be part of the convention , how did other governors get to the venue?. If it's another person who had alleged it would have been reasonable to give a second thought but not my state governor (Fayose) who is an alarmist she can play politics with anything.
ReplyDeleteThose that are blaming Buhari should read Doyin Okpe's comments before saying trash here. PDP's house is not in order before the convention. So, use your head and brain before commenting.
ReplyDeleteThanks bro. Dey are senseless pple.
DeleteFayose is afraid of militant and thugs from Ali Sheriff to avoid being killed or hit by bullet.
ReplyDeleteEvery other person got to the convention except Fayose. It shows how corward he is
Even if it is true, Fayose deserves no pity.Remember how APC governors of Edo & Rivers states were treated during Ekiti State governor's election that brought him to power. We are tired of his lousy ranting.
