You can’t bite true believer twice, some people were saying vote for who will continue from where they stop, we didn’t enjoy where they stopped.
Majority of my People told me that they will vote for Atiku , and I will not leave my people, I will be with my people to see what almighty Allah will do.
We are praying to Allah to give Nigeria the best leader who will ease the sufferings of Nigeria and bring rapid development.
