Too hasty. There is enough time between now and 2023 for the whole world to stop existing. Calm down.

Nominating a man that is supposed to be cooling off in jail for the electoral heist he committed in 2019 for second term is the worst form of corruption. maybe to finish the rigging in 2023

why do the presidency keeps recycling Failures? I thought 2nd term is a reward for good performance?

Alas, in Nigeria it is politics that always takes the front burner even in Decision making

So no other person abi?
