Tinubu is a disaster


Him just dey form activities since he resume office make we for feel say he dey work whereas he nor know wetin he dey do

One thing I cherish about Tinubu presidency is that he’s in control of his government not cabals.

He’s here to repair Nigeria, his family already blessed as confirmed by his wife.

Good development! The situation on ground really warrants it. PBAT is really doing good 👍

Strategy

Taylor92:
USA retirement age is 62

Canada retirement age is 64

UK retirement age is 65


Tinubu don rush go raise him own to 70 so we could have more Demented ancestors in the government

,

He will soon extend Political age group to 97 to justify why he’s ruling at 91

Olodo,we are talking of Judges

Desperado wants to impress as a way of incentivizing the Tribunal Judges to rule in his favor.

What happens to the next generation is not his business. Such a fellow might even suggest recruiting 40million of young lawyers into the army in hope what they'll eat is not a problem.

Most laws are made in the interest of the elite in this country

Watch how some people will blame the IGBOS for this..

Indirectly trying to please judges...

Very good

70 is not bad, haters keep off

Interesting days ahead

Ancestic phool.

what did your senators vote for?

you kept mute when all 3 senators and house of rep member from your state voted yes for the constitution amendment only for your to start gnasing of teeth on Tinubu door

so you expect Tinubu to veto a bill that wins 90 to 3 on the legislative floor

I doubt your mumu can ever finish
