Namadi Sambo is simply the best man for the job.

No one will say he belongs anywhere except for loyalty to GEJ

You are running speed.

He talked about loyalty and not charisma and clout.

Everyone accepts the guy is non-sentimental.

I repeat, he has no other OPTION... It's like saying a man/woman who is ugly/broke is loyal, they have not many choices in the first place.....

A dead politician supervising funeral rites

All bmc urchins and their fellow zombies will be put to shame after pdp primaries.

A core PDP loyalist. I respect him for that

It's been long I heard of the former VP, Arch Namadi Sambo. The man who connived with Goodluck and PDP as they looted Nigeria dry.

Anyways, Sai Baba.

No.

He has the option of going to APC with his dormancy to occupy sit.

Don't write out the Ex-Vp influence also.

What are you saying?
