#Those who fought Jonathan will soon be on their knees to beg him and ask forgiveness. It is very unfortunate that under 9 months, the Buhari APC government has ran Nigeria’s economy aground. The Buhari APC government has really messed Nigeria up. The Lying information minister Mr Lie Muhammed is not even helping matters at all. He is busy lying to Nigerians everyday about the state of the economy.
May God salvage Nigeria.
