Buhari maka why

And why the silence on Agatu killings, is it because its buhari?

They've succeeded in routing GEJ with bokoharam and have successfully collapsed that structure because the aim has been achieved as confirmed by Shekau.

Now the next target is to conquer more territories using their mobile fulani herdsmen. The killings will continue and Buhari is fully behind it.

Elrufai, Buhari etc are acting an islamization script and the treaties with Saudi etc are not mere formalities. Elrufai is stopping Christians in kaduna, sharia police are arresting Christian ladies in kano while abduction of young female Christians have been taken a notch higher.

This is no coincidence. ... this is a script.

shame on those who cast their vote for vampire(buhari)

Ain't no politician, but I sure played my part.. Every Idoma son owes Agatu a Debt of Honour. Here's mine below.
