Mathew Obisesan

"The worst season in our national lives is the era of Buhari led administration. Everyone who survive this government deserves an award of narrow escape from bondage, poverty, incessant killings and economic hardship. In my opinion, we are only celebrating failure at 61 as a nation. There cannot be independence without freedom of speech, justice, equal right, protection of lives and property of the people by the state as the core essence for social-contract and sustainable growth."

Odey Neo

"We will always remember you as a man who once rule Nigeria and destroy economic growth and development in Nigeria and killings of thousands of innocent citizens may Lucifer keep your own apartment special for your punishment."
