Good morning

GEJ had the opportunity to fix it but ignored. The loopholes you guys left to take advantage of is hurting you now. Our adage says 'a fly that refuses to listen to advice will follow dead dead body to D grave' GEJ should listen to D voice of wisdom and stay clear of 2023 election

The Electoral ACT was never a thing PMB wanted to sign. For me what we are experiencing now is not surprising and I blame Malami for it. Quite unfortunate that some few people whose conscience sways to the highest bidder will decide who the majority vote for.

He knows the problem of this country well, Buhari is just a stooge. The primary election should be cancelled
