another saraki's boy. kwarans should vote him out so to rescue themselves from saraki's slavery. kwarans should think deeply towards how saraki families are enslaving them, the father, son and will the grandson enslave them too?

You forgot to add that he's also loyal.

You forgot to add that he's also loyal.

He came back to Nigeria in 2005, and was appointed commissioner same year. Was he called back to be made commissioner or just mere coincidence or was he being groomed just like Saraki?

When will a guy who poured concrete to go through school break into that circle? Is it an exclusive preserve for the abroad returnees?
