The Lifeless shouldn't have his name on that list. That dullard doesn't even have the minimum secondary certificate required. Atiku sure to get his mandate through the ballot or the courts, as there's no escaping Bubu producing his results this time. |

This election will go in the annals of Nigeria's history as the most contested election - much more than 2015's due in part to the two main contenders coming from the north and that the era of writing fictitious results are gone. |
