The President is ticking the right boxes.

tunjijones:
Did you notice that the states of the south west were not mentioned?

Do you know why?

It's cos in south west, we don't care about your state. Provided you are Yoruba, we are all one

Nazgul:
So the South East doesn't deserve a development commission board. Or am I missing something here?

gidigbam1:
Chibudom Nwuche is one of Wike's closest ally.

The message is loud on where Mr President stands in Rivers matters!!!

thatigboman:
as you are all from lagos (which is not even a south west state) but a standalone former colony

Nazgul:
So the South East doesn't deserve a development commission board. Or am I missing something here?

The APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has revealed how he will drive the economy of the country, strengthen the Naira and making the country "import less" while "exporting more".
