        Buhari cannot fix the problems of Nigeria. He has nothing to offer and he is not in control anymore.

        It's irresponsible for elected Presidents to keep voters in darkness.This attitude should end.Presidents aren't for those around them only.

        What's wrong with saying "our president is going through treatment for blah blah." Presidents aren't gods. Tell people the truth.

        All those making negative comments are corrupt people who hate his anti corruption war. We will vote for Buhari again in 2019

        The man is unfit to lead the country. He should resign honorable & go take care of his health @ almost 80 yrs. The VP is capable to carry on
