Congratulations sir

Are you sure this is from the bottom of your heart?

If he is doing well. Baba no dey change appointees anyhow

Likely comments from twerps:

1. When Buhari wants productivity, he knows where to find good heads.

2. Buhari wants to bribe and win SE.

3. They can't do without us.

4. He actually merit his retention, not that Buhari wants to retain him.

5. Buhari decides to retain him because his appointment is useless.

6. And many more.

The Expressions may come in various format different from the above, but essentially, that is what they will say.

Late lamidi cownu and his ipob miscreants are fools.

Hiaaan

Buhari dey surprise us these days o

The pink lips mad oh.. all the best

Thats nice

I so much like the suspense behind Buharis govt, u never know what he has in mind

Another fulani Muslim again

Ben Akabueze again?

This President cannot change from his nepotistic ways, it is ingrained.

Didn't he see another person aside from a northerner like Ben Akabueze to head the budget office for another four years?

That was the same thing he did with his northern brother at the CBN- Godwin Emefiele, renewing his northern brothers' tenures every time.

This is getting too much.

Blainz:

Do you know that Ben Akabueze is Tinubu’s boy and candidate? Go figure it out.

He doesn't even know that Ben Akabueze is a northerner too.

Please tell us more.

Him no get choice na

Congratulations

Tinubu's boy

Ok

Congratulations sir.
