"My dear, Your problem is not ordinary.
However, Nigeria's minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN on Tuesday, February 9, expressed joy at the massive turnout of people for the membership registration of APC in Kebbi state.
Malami noted that the huge turnout was another vote of confidence for President Muhammadu Buhari, the state governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and APC.
