Same people shouting Peter obi for new Nigeria .. All these igbo drug dealers wanted Peter obi badly bcoz he will direct NDLEA to leave his people anytime they are caught carrying drugs.... That is why they want to force the obvious fraud on all Nigerians and turn Nigeria to a drug country...

Where Peter Obi dey for drugs enablement, Tinubu dey learn

May God bless the progressive igbos who didn't go the way of the mobs. The hardworking igbos dt cherish Nigeria and put aside every biase to speak the truth..

God bless Nigeria

I checked the names. I wasn't disappointed. They are the one tarnishing image of our dear country. They called themselves developer. Thank you general Buba Marwa
