Successor to cover up the past

This kind of madness of anointed candidate from governor, particularly the serving civil servants is absurd. Is it lawful for serving civil servants to be a card carrying member of political parties? How can someone in the office as an auditor general contesting election?

O Lord God, show mercy and dissipate this evil cloud about to envelope our dear country Nigeria. It must not succeed in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

Leadership with successive plan is healthy for democracy. This is one of the factors that helps Lagos stands out.

Onoja nko

Man's keeping it in his family!

ODODO is coming!!

His accountant-general. Following the steps of Wike of Rivers.
