  3. I support Buhari and proudly igbo.i'm voting him and no sentiments in it. For me, it's about who works irrespective of state or tribe. I'm also not a politician before I'm accused of personal gains. They have laid a foundation, We need to suffer first to get things right.jonathan did nothing for us, Buhari is giving our roads attention. All I beg of him to never support okezie Ikpeazu in Abia State. Ikpeazu needs to go, we never voted him. We want change and progress in 2019. Alex otti will rewrite the sad story of Abia for over 18years of the worst governance in the entire country. Alex otti won all local government in 2015 elections, but TA Orji, Ikpeazu used a former INEC national commissioner - Mrs Nwafor and use of security agencies to kidnap the officials to announce the result.thats why Mrs Nwafor's son is his right hand, helping him steal all our resources without caring about the state. I hate my state because of this greedy bastards. All states paid Paris club money to workers and pensioners, only Abia did not. If you retire in Abia, forget gratuity. I pray God will intervene and one day they will all sleep and not wake up. Look at ebonyi of yesterday, see what their Governor is doing to develop the state. I also thank PMB for suspending that CJN. Judiciary is our problem.it was because of Justice Mary Odili's influence via bribe on the supreme court judges to secure wike's victory, that made them use same ruling in Abia, Akwa ibom etc. God will judge them all. We abians are not voting the worst governor in Nigeria- Okezie Ikpeazu, and whoever helps them rig or write a fake result again will be struck dead by holy ghost fire. Amen!!

    1. Until herdsmen decide that their cows will enjoy the produce of your farmland and Buhari remains quiet about it. You people don’t realize that the major reasons people want Buhari out is because of his nonchalance towards addressing the herdsmen clashes? This is the same man that was spitting fire and brimstone concerning Boko Haram when he was campaigning. The US president had to implore him to stop the killings? You need to be alive to enjoy the dividends of a corrupt free society.

  9. Nigerians as we go out to vote today, please ask yourself how much petrol was before, how much bag of rice was before, how many biscuits was inside #5 biscuits before and how many biscuits is inside #20 biscuits now and so many things too numerous to mention. After answering these questions you will know that the best thing to do is to send Buhari back to Duara so that Nigeria will rise again @Blessed Princess
