"Muhammadu Buhari will not die, weather you like it or not, he is sent as a punishment to Nigerians and we must complete the punishment till his tenure expire. We rejected GEJ now we must complete the punishment we deserve."
Raheem Taiwo
"Nothing will do you Mr. president even if they wishes you bad unless if you deserve what they think of you. God bless PMB. God bless Nigeria."

"The bomb the president was taking about was in 2014 not today, despite the hardship, we should not pray for the death of anyone. He is some one father, brother, uncle, son. So let's be mindful of some things."
Matthew Onyeka
"While I thank God that you did not be a victim of casualty, at least this is reminder to you that Nigerians are not safe under your watch as chief security officer of our country. APC has failed."

May Almighty Allah protect you and guide you to the right path Mr. President.
