No way should anyone be signing a peace accord on behalf of anyone! Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to sign for himself.

I keep telling us that Shettima is the presidential candidate of the APC come 2023 general election. Even Sowore, a presidential candidate is made to sit behind. Think people, think!#PeterObi4President

Peter Obi, Atiku and Kwankwaso are present live at the National Peace accord in Abuja. But what is Shettima doing there? Is he the presidential aspirant for the APC? Where’s Tinubu? Where’s BAT? A proud and unhealthy man has no place in our Villa. pic.twitter.com/UArC1GDRXP
