Okay

Not bad sha....I like his personality but I'm not a fan of APC

Ok....

I still don't think he has the pedigree to swerve votes. Buhari really should have gone for Fashola or Oshiomole

okay i don hear, but note that the price of fufu in my area remains the same

will his biography pull the enough vote that his required remains the question

dridowu:
will his biography pull the enough vote that his required remains the question

I don't know what apc is thinking but this man called osinbajo doesn't have any electoral value , he is not even known outside lagos to the common yoruba man. If apc is thinking of using him to pull christian voters then they just shot themselves in the foot. A christian governor would have been a better choice.
