Insecurity everywhere...

Vote Wisely

APC and PDP with Reno should start their CAMPAIGNS in Anka, Bukkuyum and Gummi Local Government Areas of Zamfara state with immediate alacrity.

This governor isn't doing enough to curb bandits

Insecurity will intensify in North East, North west and Eastern Nigeria.

It's a political too of destabilisation by the political elite.

By all means, they will tell us that election can't hold.

Jonathan wanted to move the election in January 2015 but civil society and international community refused.

Watch Buhari, the Cabal and INEC. They may try the card of moving the election again

Too bad

E be many more things

.

How did we get here?

You open prison doors and let terrorists walked out then you are crying foul when terrorist terrorize

The North is a plague unto itself

Lockdown the whole Zamfara state till March 2023 so security can be restored.



Cancel all elections in Zamfara, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, Gombe and Sokoto till peace returns to those states.

When ATIKU ABUBARKAR and many other Northerners where fighting against Good luck Jonathan re-election and decamp from pdo to Apc to Buhari their points for agriefiant where based on power rotation.

Is it not proper for Atiku to respect the rotation formula they fought for?

Una neverv see anything yet

Nawa

Just imagine. That's why Atiku who also champion these killer herdsmen must be stopped at all cost.

Buhari promised to lead from the front in 2015


7 years later, he wants to replace himself with another vegetable like himself.


May APC never happen to Nigeria again

Hmm

Zamfara...the only news that comes out of that state is about banditry and terrorism or child marriages and VVF.

All thanks to Buhari’s APC

Most annoying thing is that they will still not vote Obi
