Only if Buahri can swallow his pride and ask Goodluck how painful it is to be sent out of Aso Villa

Please what's the koko point of this APC NEC meeting, is Oyegun and his squad to continue? Is APC to hold congress? Buahri's 2019 announcement is overshadowing the meeting!

Part 1 of 2 of my most fervent prayers has just been answered. Buhari has announced to APC NEC (National Evil Committee) that he will seek re-election in 2019.

Part 2: to disgrace him out of office & prove that no man no matter how highly placed is near to God! Now loading

The most interesting thing about Buhari seeking reelection for a second term is that he will no longer hide under the guise of "No presidential debate" there must be a presidential debate whether you like it or not

And some people will still vote Buhari and Aketi for second term with all these negativity and obvious failure.
