  1. These guys are never short of comical actions. Is democracy in Nigeria now an oligarchy? Why can't people just survive outside the corridors of power? Smh

  2. It's obvious you are really ignorant. Did both Yar' adua or Yakowa died during election process or after at least spending two years in office, which made their deputy constitutionally legal. Though am not saying Audu son is the best they could sought for.

  4. A crucial political matter now turns to a family affair. So, Faleke is not qualify? Just when will Nigeria get liberated from some barbaric ideas in which she is enmeshed? As events are unfolding, we are watching.

    1. My brother, it's not enough to just watch. Every indigene of Kogi has a right to determine what happens. You can start by vehemently refusing APCs decision to field the late aspirants son.

  9. This would be the biggest mistake APC would ever make. I've had an encounter with Mohammed and he is not a capable person to be given a position of leadership. The man beats his staffs. Who does that kind of thing? I can direct anyone who cares to know to his business locations and see how he owes them salaries for months and physically beats up anyone who upsets him. Is that the kind of leader you want????
