Deltayankeeboi:
The only people still supporting the terrorist Buhari today are northern muslims and a few yoruba muslims.

Yoruba christians are all against buhari.

With our collective effort, lets see how Buhari hopes to win. Even now that major strong minded northern muslims are now in pdp camp.


Kwankwanso is not just a name, it is a MOVEMENT!

How does bubu hope to win without rigging.

The presidency seat is becoming hot. Slowly saibaba is dying and fading away.
