God has asked tunde bakare to run for president. God has told mbaka that Dankwambo will be president....but for me, God has asked me to leave this country. And i will. Tunde run, Dankwambo run, Buhari run, while I run away pic.twitter.com/PcpgOIi6e5

Tunde Bakare said God asked him to run for presidency. Meaning that Buhari isn't delivering else we would have been praying for more grace. But Buhari has taken the grace of God for granted. Mbaka has pitched tent with Dankwanbo. All these are making things easier for Atiku.
