If you live within your means, you won’t be flying to London for medicals, you will be in Nigeria. Nigerians who are not able to fly to London, make use of hospitals in Nigeria. Besides, you live within your means but fly in private jets of your friends, collect dollars from them

Lol. We begged you. For almost 4 years. To address the nation. We were being killed, harassed. One disaster after the other. We begged for empathy. Then maybe just sympathy. But you wouldn't even do that much. And now, you are ready to talk to us. To beg for votes. https://t.co/4himI8PA5s

Think about it, Buhari didn't speak to you until few days to Election.
SARS Killing Nigerians he never said anything, Soldiers killed in North East, all he did was sent you a memo through Lie Mohammed. You have few hours to choose now. Think it twice! After Saturday??
4 years!!

The Buhari government claims it's fighting corruption but we all know they steal from us to enrich their families. This government is out to impoverish Nigerians. #RejectBuhari #RejectPoverty

For 4 years, Buhari shielded himself from Nigerians. He even refused to address our press. There was a time we had Presidential Media Chats. All gone down the drain. But in 3 months, Buhari has toured the whole country and addressed the country thrice. Are we fools? #RejectBuhari

In your dreams sir.

Lagosians the economic powerhouse of the country suffered the most from Buhari's shambolic policies, you would need 1 million MC Oluomo's to stop us from voting Buhari out.
