Recycling of the old wine in new bottle

Nice one from the president buhari. I never knew he had other plans playing the silent game with Nigerians on the appointment of the chief of staff

Baba don shock those clamouring for Tinubu. �

Truth is Buhari has so many surprises in his sleeve. Wouldn't have ever thought someone from Kwara will be his chief of staff. That office is like the soul of the president. I am now believing the news I read few days back that a new cabal is cropping up.

Lolz, the soul has relocated. The president can move the soul to where ever he wants, the most important thing is to be the right hand man.

Yoruba Muslim as chief of staff to the president. I don't believe this o. But I don't think they will allow this one to dominate like Abba Kyari. So Hausa Fulani get much sense like this.

Hmmmm

Buhari can be unpredictable sometimes tho

Sir, now new cabal is cropping up. It's unfortunate that people just speculate fake things about the presidency. President Buhari is the President, he appoints whom he wants, and the buck stops at his desk.

Another old man.
No hope for Nigerian youths.
