Lost Addict

is it not the same ajimobi in quarantine battling corona, what is the possibility he would survive that one first

APC constitution stated that person from the same region of the suspended national should take over. I do not know what Ajimobi name is doing there

Ajimobi out of all people? Apc is gone

You mean constituted authority will now be the authority in APC.. someone whose candidate lost governorship elections in oyo state and he himself couldn't win his senatorial election.

This guy is a waste of more space compared to oshiomole.

From isolation center?

With Ajimobi trying to survive his illness, the Northern Deputy Chairman would assume office.

The one that's no more in APC....
Unfortunately for him, he can't return again, the judgement came a bit too late .

The shortest verse in the Bible is Jesus wept...after more than 2000 years we have another man doing likewise ...Oshiomole wept
