represent the Kogi West Senatorial District. Adeyemi was
returned to the Senate in 2007 and 2011. The three-

the PDP which later accused him of anti-party activities.
He eventually defected to the then Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) which later teamed up with two other
parties and a faction of another to form the All
Progressives Congress (APC).

the north created Boko Haram to make GEJ government un-gorvernable, in order to wrestle power from GEJ,then peradventure, Buhari wins,let Nigerians know that Niger Delta should also rise against Buhari and make him restless until he dies of HBP. The Northerners alone are not born to rule Nigerians.
If Buhari wins, Nigerians prepare for another stronger violence in Nigeria.
I am not supporting violence in Nigeria,but this is the true nature of things to happen if Buhari wins.
Even Buhari's certificateless issue on ground is enough to cause uprising after he's sworn in as Nigeria's next president. No one is above the law.all heads are equal.
