Weeping in the camp of the enemies. 2031 is sorted.

We will continue to teach you Politics. We own this game

Next is, we will sponsor protests by the headless mob, they will protest continuously against the current INEC Chairman Mahmoud Yakubu. We will listen to your complaints, then we will remove Yakubu and replace him with one of our Boys, a core Yoruba boy. If you complain, we will remind you that Yoruba man has never been INEC Chairman since Abdulsalam Abubakar established INEC, so it is the turn of a Yoruba man who is one of Tinubu’s old Boys. You will cry blood
