Osinbajo, be a man. Instigate the Doctrine of necessity now.

No Yoruba in Buhari's cabinet get spine like late Professor Dora Akunyili.

Nigeria has suffered a lot without a president. Billions of Naira lost, but only a few know how it is lost.

The Attorney General is the Minister/Commisioner for justice while the Solicitor General is the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry whether State or federal.
