Now, please consider these posers;
1. Buhari's appointment of his niece as INEC chairman, IS IT NOT CONFLICT OF INTEREST? 2. Is Buhari still receiving ANY PENSION at all 3. On foreign accounts matter, the account in The U.S. that Amaechi 'mistakenly' transferred almost a billion dollars (a) Does it qualify as a foreign account? (b) Was the transaction made while Amaechi was a governor? (c) If the answer to (b) above is yes, has he been assigned his prison number yet? We need to fight corruption without fear of favour! 4. Mr Daura, I mean the one harassing Nigerians now, (a) Is he a retired public servant? (b) Is the office of DG, DSS a public office? (c) Is Mr. Daura receiving remuneration from public funds? 5. On abuse of office: (c) Is the position of 'Federal character' enshrined in our constitution? (b) If the answer to (a) above is yes, does Buhari's federal appointments so far violate that part of the constitution? (c) If the answer to (b) above is yes, is there an ABUSE OF OFFICE? 6. # WristWatchGate ! O yes, it has come full circle. Looking at article 13, what do we have to say about that N10.2 Million Naira wrist watch? Well, the 'timing' of the giving will definitely give him a breather. E for enter on this count too if the watch had come by say, 2pm on May 29. Ok, let's move forward to Aisha's brother that allegedly set up a bribery-ring for her, are both he and Aisha not agents to Buhari? And yes you guessed right, this happened post-May 29. So, can Buhari be 'ipso facto' be deemed to have breached the code of conduct? PS: Kindly read this article again and RECHECK ALL THE LIES OF BUHARI! You will come to the realization that EVERY OF HIS LIE HAS A PURPOSE! Lol, my dear Buhari, this is my 100th day anniversary gift to you. My warmest regards to your two liars-in-chief, Femi Adesina and Shehu Garba. Inform them that this wall will be red-hot today! It's celebration time!

You can only get fresh brains from PDP e-"Aloras", unlike what is obtainable in the other divide, wacko brains.
Nice write-up bro, may God continue to increase our wisdom, Amen.
