[s] Corrinthians:[/s]Council of State meeting is an obligation by past leaders of Nigeria to attend or otherwise.What was done now by these leaders was same thing Buhari did in the build up to the 2015 as he refused to attend until the day crucial decisions as regards the 2015 election were to be taken. Perhaps you think this is the self ego trip Buhari took to ICC in 2017 which he foolishly ascribed to his sanctimonious "integrity" which was quickly debunked by same ICC as a busy body act as Buhari was never invited in official capacity. It is impossible to deploy the resources of logic to argue that Buhari has integrity. He doesn’t. Well, unless integrity means something to Buhari supporters other than what it actually means in the English language 1 Like |

Racoon:I don't listen to IPodic athiefkwulators who will abandon their current monikers they use to lick Atiku's scrotum only to create new ones and pollute the atmosphere with their usual "biafla or death" rants after Atiku loses.
