I wish all of our party members who today defected, the very best in their future undertakings. The APC has done its best to stop the defections, and I must commend the party leadership for working tirelessly to unite the party and position it for future victory.— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) July 24, 2018

Values of democracy indeed!!! Dasuki still in detention inspite of court order. Jones Abiri still held incommunicado despite court order. Is complying with rule of law not a value of democracy?— Timothy (@eekabadcrane) July 24, 2018
At last my president has spoken on the present political situations in the country by wishing they decamped all the very best ahead, this has happening for the first time in the history of my nation— Umar Mustapha Saleh (@UmarMustaphaSa4) July 24, 2018
I need good Nigerian people to stand up and support this Buhari government. If we fold our arm, siddon look and allow these bunch of PDP corrupt elements to come to power in 2019, then the future is bleak for Nigeria.— OLUWASEYI ADEKOYA (@SeyiBenggie) July 24, 2018
Give your papa a chance to rule Nigeria too...Enough for Buhari— Felix Ikotun (@phlexyl) July 24, 2018

Dear Baba go & rest and be an Elder Statesman. #TheMAJORITY of NIGERIANS do NOT NOT NOT want You, Sir! Unless DEMOCRACY is no longer BY THE PEOPLE... Even IF You meant well & THE MAJORITY says "NO", then THAT STANDS CREDIBLE! THE MAJORITY don'T want You! That's NO rocket science— Kayode Zeal (@ZealScrews) July 24, 2018
Fallacy, we are not fools not to see the show of dictatorship tendency by this government. The World is watching.— Frank Omosigho (@FrankOmosigho) July 24, 2018
Mr. President, with all due respect, stop giving 'kids' the opportunity to insult you. If not for anything, elders are known for their wisdom, but you are lacking in this area.— Simbi (@DonSim0001) July 24, 2018
It is not APC you are presiding over but Nigeria and everything she stands for. Do the right thing!
Nigerians should tell PMB the true meaning of Democracy.He blatantly repeatedly refused court orders and his cohorts like Lai Mohammed,Oshiomole and Lauretta refused to advice him.Nigerians are saying NO,never again will cows be valued more than human beings.We are not all Fulanis and never shall we be,we do not know that your cows are more important to you Fulanis than human beings that were created in the likeness of God.
ReplyDeleteNobody, even the Fulanis that says cow are more important than human being.
DeleteIf you care to listen, i will tell you that, the way an Ibo man shop/business is dear to him, the same way the cow is to Fulanis. If you touch their cows they will ask why and if they cannot find justice and fight ensue, killings will follow. This is the same anywhere. Even if it is chocolate, talk less of a hen, as far as it result to fight, killings can result. The Ibos that can kill because of business, is business also more than human being? Be wise and let the political killings stop.
What we are experiencing right now in our beloved country is a total failure of governance. Our leaders have failed the people. We must all brace up for anarchy borne out of sheer incompetence of our leaders to truly and honestly lead.
