GEJ deserve a town named after him in the north, considering what he did for many poor and uneducated northerners.

How about naming Daura after GEJ? He uplifted a lot of people from Daura so much that he ended up being made a chief in Daura.

No problems! Let GEJ have a street named after him. Afterall, OBJ used our money to build a library also named after him.

I'd suggest that they name outer northern express (Kubwa road) or the new Outer southern express after GEJ to keep up the tradition of naming major roads in Abuja after our past leaders. I also agree with naming streets after Atiku (as past vice president), Chuba Okadigbo, Aliko Dangote and Otedola but why in the hell should they name streets after Adamu Muazu and Bala Mohammed?! Is Abuja a PDP affair?
