They must go to jail period.

Every sane Nigerian youth should rally round magu at this juncture.....
We shouldn't allow corruption to bite back
Little drops of water they say makes the ocean
This is not much but
It's a start
A gud one

APC = CHANGE, SARAKI = CHANGE DOGARA = CHANGE BUHARI = CONFUSE

the fall of the foolish party apc at hand.

let me book space

Every sane youth should know that all these hullabaloo is actually the hand of God to cause confusion in the enemies of this countries camp ,buhari could have easily told his so called daura secrete service to allow magu but he didn't, let the fight get dirty in that way those hidden things will come out except of course you prefare the statuesque

This is really geting interesting by the day..

All of this is just hot air!
You can't nail these thieves with 2 years left on APC 's clock.

The more they fight, the more the revelations.
The better for the masses.
Oya continue.

Show don Show... Magu has dug the pit again, pesin wey say make your own no hot just go get water quench him fire.

Saraki and Dino have done theirs and now rain don start no umbrella

This is where I usually ask; WHY NOW? Why did Magu hold back on this petition? Why did the NCS kept mute over the RR issue. I came to realize one thing, they are all CORRUPT and UNPATRIOTIC.

I rather call out to the youths in these agencies to make public all shady deals backed with facts to enable the new CJ and DPP institute appropriate legal actions.

This fight would be dirty, am following with interest.
