Ayodele Fayose was quick to note that Buhari is old and tired

Buhari has failed in all fronts

He must be judged on his record

Rene Omokri said no one wants to hang around when the air is polluted

The Oppositions are non-existent

Let Buhari win again

What a sincere prayer!

Everyone is tired

Most of us tho!

 

How about the easy ride to Aso Villa in May 2019?

Pride and Arrogance

The declaration still feels like a nightmare.
