This your foolishness is hereditary. Family and Strangers will speak ill of you on your last hour.

A competent court of the Federation have acquitted Mazi Kanu yet you still support a tyrant of a president to continue in impunity.

Well, what goes around comes around.

He was ripe for the inevitable. I wish him a good rest.
