30000 Criminals and tools for rigging

If they like, let them deploy the whole nigerian forces to Ekiti. APC is dead and there is nothing satan can do about it. Just hope they don't go there to intimidate the citizens of the state. Who in his right senses would introduce a wild snake into his house?

If you need this much manpower and tactical equipments just to conduct election then we are failed society where democracy is concerned. It means we do not trust our system to be fair to itself and we must bear on it intimidately to make it work.

Where are all these equipments and the brainstorm that went into forecasting and preplanning to jump into action when an alarm is raised about a fulani herdsmen attack?

If the FG has this much manpower, why are the Herdsmen killing people with reckless abandon in Benue and Plateau? Buhari and his cohorts are acting like they are desperate.

Yet Buhari can't order the deployment and same energy to benue to conduct mopup operation against the killer herdsmen

PDP all the way

I just came back ban. I will comment later
