So if they want peace, make them no rig the election because everybody is ready for this election.

“We also want to advise our security agencies and we know that they are good people, protecting lives and property, which is their primary responsibilities.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
