Your hatred for Buhari won’t take you anywhere, it won’t stop him from being the president of Nigeria and that automatically makes him your president, so stop giving yourself headache.

The president has done quite well. He can now resume duties without any query from the Senate.

I know saraki is not happy to see buhari back to the country, his prayer has been buhari should die because of his inordinate ambition to be the president of Nigeria but God defeated his juju.

You are right, he receives the letter with sadness, saraki is a wolf in sheep clothing
