ReplyDeletewhat has declaring assets got to do with all these developments?
DeleteThis is the change that will benefit all Nigerians . Compared to Jonathan who refused to publicly declare his assets and said he's doesn't care what anybody says about it. Haters should stop hating and stop mourning more than the bereaved. Jonathan is sitting pretty enjoying his undeclared loot and people who's future he has plundered are still mourning and hating because of him. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteGood name is better than ill gotten wealth. May Allah swt guide them amin.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord God continued his good work upon your heads. May he save this our great country true Mr president and the vice..
ReplyDeleteTrust Mr President, He keeps a herd of cattle! It's impressive; worthy of emulation by all good people. And, Mr Anonymous up there, let us stop mentioning GEJ; where PMB stands as tall as an Iroko tree, Jonathan is as short as a Lilliputian - no basis for comparison at all.
ReplyDeleteWell done, both Mr President and his Vice.I only hope the State Governors will take a cue from this.
