“My take: I’m afraid his spiritual father may hijack this government if he wins and things may get worse for Nigeria.
May the God of heaven give us the right candidate”

“He’s not loyal. If he was really loyal, he would be defending Buhari all those years. Osinbajo is a con artist, just like Tinubu.”
