        In his absence, we had a free and fair election in osun state. Seems there are no bottlenecks in court judgments. We're better off .

        Things have been shaping up since he traveled to the UK for medicals. With the look of things, his VP understands the job more than him.

        I don't think that absence of our president have any impact on Nigeria, bcos deputy has take over all the president duties.
