Buhari and old me be like bread and AKara

Maybe that's his smart way of reuniting with his old enemies when he was a military head of state.

Government of the old

Ok oooo Hope this visit will bring economic growth.

We have seen them shaking hands and smiling. So what else should we do? Start jumping up or we should run to the bank to collect our own part of Dasuki share?
