The monies that will be wasted in burying that thief will be enough to rovide a relatively sound education for a thousand displaced children in nigeria for atleast one year. Nigerians are being taken hostage by the thieving politicians and they are damn too dumb to
see that. That is why looters like tinubu get so much accolades in this so called progressive forum by socalled progressive praise singers.
