President Muhammadu Buhari has written the Senate to confirm Festus Okoye as National Commissioner for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Mr Okoye is among 26 new appointees the president wrote, in separate letters, to the Senate for confirmation.

Buhari is the President with the lowest IQ in the world. Grossly incompetent, extremely unintelligent and very dumb


There will be more last minute, politically motivated and dubious appointments to more sycophants just for his reelection bid

Buhari might commit suicide after 2019. I assure you..

Buhari till 2023.

APC till 2055.

Wailers go and die.

Cos election is near.

Above all i say never.

You are going back to Daura

Has Jonathan commits suicide?

And so?

Ojukwu surrendered to the man with lowest IQ as a military man and NK ran away for him as a Civilian. He tamed the whole region by teaching them a bitter lesson that emotion is not equal to intelligent. I love this lowest IQ.
