    Hopefully buhari wins because we can’t afford to waste another 4 years in the hands of that foolish clueless Jonathan or else Nigeria’s economy will turn out to be like Somalia’s…oh God please hear my personal prayers…enough is enough

    GEJ will soon bounce back with an overwhelming result, trust me absolute! I saw it coming that, the yoruba’s and hausa’s in his cabinet will betray him. Moreso, i shall rely n the prophesies of notable men of God!

    Remember the election is a long distance race.The winner of the final lap wins it all. Its good news to see Buhari in the lead at the beginning. He will be out of gas by the time we come to the final lap. Congratulations to all PDP supporters.
