Lalasticlala eh!

Honestly this government is a joke, making epic foolery of themselves

;Djoke

The most useless government of all time, chasing shadow when the ship pilot of the failed nation is a certificate less, lifeless dullard. It’s a pity seriously �

What we have is democracy!! A despotic lunatic is on the throne. He will employ all manner of dirty tricks to attack his political opponents while claiming to be "Mr Integrity". Buhari and APC are the scam of the century

That is very commendable from the Nigeria police force.

This buhari government is the worst in the history of our democracy

The police is simply trying to shape the election

If they truly want to arrest Adeleke then they should go ahead and arrest him. He is not hiding

yarimo:
That is very commendable from the Nigeria police force.

Shut up!! Oya take am!!

Much of Buhari ordering them not to invite the senator till after elections. So who ordered this?

They think we are all fools. Tell the police not to arrest the man on the pages of newspaper, then go through the back door embolden the plot.

Adeleke is winning this even if presents the receipt he used in paying for refrigerator.

That's what you get when you vote in an illiterate cattle rearer as the president of a country. He will run the country like an animal farm

Why can't APC just go and contest and win cleanly? Why must they always resort to using the instruments of state to steal elections? This country is a joke!!
