ben samuel: It will be nice for him to do this in Lagos or Abuja alone

@Ramdan_figo:Hmmm, life is nothing but vanity!!! Imagine Buhari being guided by just 2 security now. This time early this year if he were to come to this same place everywhere would be secured by nothing less than 200 fully security guards. Any post u are today remember it’s not forever
