Actress as Deputy governor is d new trend

this is the first time am hearing of this kind party.

YinkaOlusesi16:
this is the first time am hearing of this kind party.

That's Omoyele Sowore political party and he's the presidential flagbearer of the AAC.

Hahaha joke of the century.
Meanwhile it is our patriotic duty to ensure that the demonic agenda of the Muslim Muslim ticket doesn't see the light of the day.
Vote in the Unifer,vote in atiku abubakar

Akwa Ibom is a PDP state...even APC are scared on campaigning in the state... because they know they can't reset Akwa ibomite from pressing hands to Unbrella logo.

Secondly, Akwa Ibom people are more religious than Pope, presenting a Pastor is like a Savior has come to reign has king.

So... AAC should have a rethink...

This is becoming worrisome, silly and a huge joke.

This country lacks direction

Peter Obi happens to be our only hope o

Is this playing? What kind of playing is this?

Na wa oh.

From King Tonto to Caroline Ekanem, this one na party of slay queens who couldn't stay in marriage

Why did they call her Caroline Danjuma when she has divorced her husband?

So this is the new trend now of picking atresses as run mate

Hope it's not for formality sake.

Sometimes I wonder how candidate are selected.
They are supposed to come together and form a stong part

Lmao
This one wan dy sell yansh

Ok

I didn't know now that politics is equivalent to comedy in Nigeria.

Okay

From funke to caroline, very soon we ill see afrocandy

"Carolina save your drama, you don't need in ur soap opera, hello diva...........," In Davido's voice.

Lol

Na Cruise. They already knew they are going no where.

��

Ahhhh...which kinda rough play is this one, the new trend maybe, picking side chicks as running mates...

THIS PEOPLE DON DEY CARRY THIS MADNESS GO FAR

Na waoh.... There must be something that's making our men to choose all thses pretty ladies as running mate. Can't dey find one retired principal or female Hod in university as running mate?

Noted.

The. La

Is this not the lady behind the famous Davido's song Fia Fia

"Sukura kilo ko si o, eh!
Suku shaker, I am shoe maker, yeah
Caroline save your drama
I don't need it for the soap opera
Hola hola, Mr.Olopa
I'm not here to cause wahala
Hello diva, save your drama
You don't need me in your soap opera"

Selecting actresses for deputy governor is the new trend now. It is well with some Nigerian political parties

She don rush go add "Uduak".

You don dey act for over 20 years, you no add "Uduak", it's now you feel to add "Uduak" just to deceive the gullible electorates.

Is this the latest trend now? These people still believe it’s a joke.

You no wan win. You just want to be called a one-time governorship aspirant. That's all.
