Yet they let us h@te this man despite his achievements as head of state. No president since democracy can boast of these achievements at all. Mostly, obj made everyone hate him and Atiku,yet the same obj did nothing even as president for 8 years to his own state, not to talk of south West. Ogun state roads would have been best if obj make them.

You are wrong, President Shehu Shagari had the largest capital projects followed late President Muhammadu Buhari. Tinubu wants to beat them all with his ambitious Lagos-Calabar, Lagos-Sokoto. Emilokan is not likely to finish that project angry

And he cancelled the June 12 Elections widely acknowledged to have been the freest and fairest Presidential election in Nigeria.
2. He has not accounted for how he came by the Hilltop Mansion in which he lives in Minna. His entire legitimate wages could not have built it.
3. He deepened corruption in Nigeria.
4. He handed Nigeria over to the certified thief Gen. Sanni Abacha.
5. Unless he repents the evil he has done to us will never depart from his household and legacy!
