*ASK A NIGERIAN POLITICIAN WHAT
THEY THINK ABOUT THIS HOT
WEATHER CONDITION*
*Journalist*: what are your thoughts
on this heat Nigerians are complaining
about and what is the government
doing about it:
RESPONSES:
*LAI MOHAMMED*: this is the result
of PDP’s misrule, they stole the ozone
layer.
*FEMI ADESINA*: Mr. President
promised us change and that includes
change in temperature. CHANGE IS
HERE, EMBRACE IT.
*AKINWUMI AMBODE*: We have
signed a $10million deal with LG to
install air conditioners across the
Lagos skyline.
*IBE KACHUKWU*: I assure you the
heat will disappear by 2pm 29th May.
*BUKOLA SARAKl*: Tinubu wanted the
heat to be more than this but i opposed
him, out of my love for Nigeria and
that is why they are witch-hunting me.
*GOODLUCK JONATHAN*: This heat
was not this bad when I left office/
power but Nigerians did not appreciate
me.
*ADAMS OSHIMOLE*: Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala stole the N100 billion meant
for temperature control Research.
*NASIR ELRUFAI*: We are in talks

are commissioning the Dangote Fan

*BEN MURRAY-BRUCE: *tweets*
when Naira is weak and inflation is

*NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA*: Under the
last administration there was no
political will to address climatic
change:
*PRESIDENT BUHARI: From USA* ...
this heat is kwarupt because Nigeria
is kwarupt and I will fight every form

responsible for this heat and every
kwarupt heat will go to jail.
