How come this President choose to appoint an Igbo man?
What happened to all the fulani herdsmen killers? Nigerians have gotten used to Buharis Fulani herdsmen killers being appointed to every vacant political space.
What a huge shock. Who knows? Apparently he appointed an Igbo to help to propagate and coordinate his inordinate attempt at RUGA in Igbo land.
What an unimaginative government. What an ethnic leaning president. What a decisive figure.
What a political pestilence. What a situation. I take a stroll. Nonsense.
