Nigerians are equally disturbed about even the uncertainty from the political angle."

The LP spokesman, Tanko, said Nigeria is back to the days of former President Muhammadu Buhari when the president refers to travel than to lead.
Tanko said he noticed that Tinubu’s hands were shaking during his recent visit to Imo State.
