Who would have thought a day will come where President Buhari will shut down schools to enable students come back home to vote. Tinubu thought hiding under the canopy of the ruling party will give him an easy win to Aso Rock but he forgets how the Northerners play their own politics. Even a blind man could read the hand writing on the sky.
After this election, Amoda Ogunlere the drug lord will officially retire from politics and might be sent to exile or prison.
