ReplyDeleteFemi 5 whole terms!!!! Nigerian politicians are nothing but greedy. Once they clinch that seat, they want to die there and if possible pass it over to their children after they are gone. I hope this selfishness will end one day.
ReplyDeleteThat is not new at all. In US,we have Senators who have spent 20 years and above.
