Abike Dabiri, i might have been born in the night, but i was not born blind. Yes, it was your name we saw and not a case of mistaken identity.

We know, that you know, like everybody knows that you owe that money, go and pay. We also know that with your name on that debtors list, the chance of you becoming a minister has just traveled to TABORTABOR in Agege. Buhari, would not want anybody without a good credit history to be in charge of any Ministry as a Minister.
