APC were saying they’d send Osinbajo to debate Atiku. Lol if Buhari doesn’t debate, we’d send Peter Obi let him demolish the short fraudulent Yoruba demon posing as a Pastor cum intellectual

BREAKING: Unconfirmed reports that Atiku has picked Peter Obi as running mate. If true, It’s a good day for Nigeria. We can now all say we are One nation under God where no one is marginalized on the basis of their tribe or ethnicity.

Thank you HE Atiku Abubakar for picking Peter Obi as your running mate. Nobody can call Peter Obi corrupt; he will tell you you’re wasteful and you can’t respond. Let’s win this once and for all. Peter Obi has more integrity than everyone in this Admin. Verifiable integrity.
