This is probably the first election in the history of this country in this fourth republic where there wasn’t any cash donations or fund raising party to induce voters or stakeholders and electorates. Thanks to a wonderful president with fiscal discipline, no wonder they don’t want him at the top. We will get there together as a nation God willing.

lies! Paper work.

Final brainwashing for zombies before elections.

Double figure

Pepper dem gang.

YOU ARE RIGHT

A drop from 11.44% to 11.37% is not a drop! This is mediocrity and unacceptable!

The thieves in PDP will not like this. They want to sell Nigeria by force and pocket the money. Even their campaign strategy clearly shows they put their greedy interests above Nigeria’s. God forbid. The cursed PDP will never rule Nigeria again. Hateful, vile, ignorant, inveterate liars and criminals. The hate in their hearts will lead to their untimely destruction. What a party. A party full of criminal elements who have sold their souls to the devil and have held Nigeria back for decades. They have resolved to never let Nigeria realize her full potential, but God will disgrace them. Nigeria will prosper. PDP should go to hell. That is where they belong anyway. Bloody criminals. They want to Atikuloot? Go and Atikulooting in your houses and be stealing things from your family members since that’s what you people are all about. Cursed party. Awon a lai ni ironu oshi.

booming you just said oga?from single digit last era to 12.51 last December you said booming? Then now 11.44 and u said booming? The economy is not private sector fully driving now, until the government gives it a free flow, some heavy factor still affecting it, no sound minded investor would wanna jump into this kind of economy, the uncertainties are quite high,its been too capitalistic here, very few cronies run the system,the micro economy has been stiffled, very. Very few people are ready to gamble into our economic system now, no any serous clear cut policies to drive the system upward,
