In sane climes, she would have been the first Female president. She has more integrity in her little finger than OBJ,GEJ and buhari have in their entire body.

Where did her brother and sister rejected her, you moronn? Did she not win an electoral position in your national assembly, a position which she won under APGA.
Or were you expecting APGA to win her the presidency?
