“The way our friends will descend on Obasanjo and his people in the coming days will be unprecedented, especially if he doesn’t retrace his steps from this latest dance of his.”(@nuels88)
“Make sure Atiku didn’t win.
Support Obi if he wins fine, if he does not, he’ll definitely make a way for Tinubu.
This still to me would never take away the fact that he’s a nationalist. He just doesn’t like Atiku
It’s fine”(@nuhu_yohanna11)
“Good to see that Baba Obj has moved on since after election
I don’t do conspiracy but I hope the powers that be, didn’t use Obi to block Atiku from reaching Aso Rock.“
Anyway good one 🤣”(@Ibirogba1000)
“Signature cap last week, Sallah homage this week.”(@theAloserofunmi)
