        Nigerians never learn from their history. This is almost mimicking the Yar'Adua saga.

        Ignore the unpatriotic Nigerians. Most of them hate the corruption fight going on and are just enemies of change. Wailers.

        President Buhari needs to hand over power. Why wait till the situation gets worse? #Africanrulers #Nigerians need a visual president.

        Most of you guys didn't listen well to that audio. That is not our president voice. Please do more research on this voice and get the truth.

        Mr Man, I have been into voice editing for a long time. Anyone can do that to scam Nigerians. Why audio in the first place?
