@Realtor_Richi; It will be an unwise and arrogant decision ma if you posted all the pictures of you with another country's leaders without posting that of your country. Whether you like it or not Tinubu is the president of Nigeria
We are watching you ma.
@GoziconC: APC made you what you are today, you wouldn't have been in this position if not for the APC. You practically ignored the President of Nigeria to please your kinsmen, when your Tenure expires, I hope you go to your kinsmen for another Tenure.
@chubbyrazzy: While acknowledging other country presidents I believe you should do the same for your president Tinubu.
@oluwalanre2: They we respond and it we be loud that time, nobody should shout hatred that time, this is another level of bigotry taken too far.
@TeeChaseguy74: This is bigotry at its peak Chaii I just dey pity all these Igbos 😔😔
@AkintundeAA01: I feel like this post is passing a message that doesn't sit well with me. BAT was there too.
@DavidsOffor: My Aunty, Ngozi Iweala deliberately forgot that her President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended too!!
It is what it is, time shall always tell
