ReplyDeleteOne of there mumu has already said i mean kwankwaso has said if they take over it wl take Apc 50yrs bf they can reorganise this country so calculate ur age and add 50yrs that means ur 5th generation can not taste the change so think bf u do my fellow nigerians
ReplyDeleteNothing will ever change my mind dat wat is happening is not politically motivated by opposition just to take power by all means
ReplyDeleteThis is a clear indication that APC is not for peace. There is no reason to justify not attending a meeting to solve security challenges facing this country. Nigerians must open their eyes against APC Governors and their agenda. We can no longer accept politics of disrespect of this office of the president. Useless APC!
ReplyDeleteWell-dome jona child.your father know before that these governors are security stakeholder b4 levelling them and their party with allegation of sponsoring boko haram.what he should do first is now doing last.
ReplyDeleteMeetings all d tym is unless! Let Jonathan take action as fast as possible. If he could sack Sanusi, I see no reason y he has not been able to get rid of BH. Has Jonathan and his team gone to donate blood for these victim? No! But he could go around compaining! May God help us!
ReplyDeleteThe APC governors behaved childish. Though I can understand as the PDP led government has earlier accused the APC governors for being responsible for the attack. Therefore, what do you expect?
ReplyDeleteU all talk are all saicofant
ReplyDeleteContrary to this news from Nigerianeye, the APC governors were not invited for the meeting.
ReplyDeleteThey got sms eairlier in the day that their own meeting has been shifted to Wednesday
