Only 38 days?

This Dino is a stain to Nigeria Politics, and he should be escorted into the Bar Beach to be never seen or heard of again.

He lacks the maturity to be a Senator.

SalamRushdie:
He lacks maturity in what area? But your Buhari keeping quiet about the killing of middle belt Christians is maturity shey? Shame on you...this is clearly executive bullying and injustice and I assure you it will come back as karma to Buhari and Yahaya Bello

Remimadrid:
In that 39 days, dino will intentionally starve himself just to gain sympathy, and the gullible Nigerians will be supporting him.

dafeyankee:
Who cares about Buhari?BUHARI should be flown into the middle of the Sahara desert for wild dogs to eat his skeletal body for all I care.

PaChukwudi44:
It is unlikely he will spend 39 days.He would likely go on appeal to a higher court before the said date.Especially with his "ill-health" I don't see him spending two weeks in jail

There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.

Even the hemorrhoids you suffer was caused by Buhari.

The I'll health part is actually what am saying. Was he Ill when they arrest him and he jumped out of a moving convoy? No. Suddenly! Suddenly!! Dino is sick. Don't u get it.
