That is what the new government will look like. Any body that breaks the law must pay dearly. The government of Obi will be a government that adheres strictly to the rule of law not like the useless and lawless regime of Buhari

So they should follow Tinubu’s pattern ?
Why do you like making unnecessary comparison?

What about all the people Tinubu’s team have sued ? Including Atiku ?

Everything cant be in the same format
