In his words, “aggrieved Nigerians should not copy a small Kenya that does not have Christian-Muslim and Southern-Northern tendencies.”

According to him, Nigerians should give the president till midterm of his administration before they judge his performance.

“Nigerians said Goodluck jonathan is bad, Buhari is bad and now Tinubu too is bad,” adding that then the country needs to go to heaven to get God to come down and turn things around.
