Nigerians react as Okowa says Tinubu must complete 8 years

@OlorogunErnest

After wasting Delta state funds in the NorthSouth2023 presidential election against the same Tinubu, he's bowing too now. Why didn't Okowa just join his other Southern governors in 2023, who ensured power moves to the South? I guess he betrayed the South because of greed & selfish interest.
Okowa lacks character, and most importantly, his EFCC case file will be quashed as he's now a saint.

@Emekaelenwoke

There’s no man or woman in the PDP -Just hungry m0r0n looking for food and power. PDP Should close down.
