How could you make such an appointment of who, Daniel Bwala, who insulted you and called you drug dealer, a drug baron, you stabbed all of us in the back, disgregarded us and humiliated us by appointing someone who insulted all of us during campaign.
What is going on, your excellency, what happened to you? You attack Yahaya Bello, you attack El-Rufia, and you will abandon Fani Kayode. we supported you. The people who fought us are given appointments. I don’t need any appointment from you. My Lord Jesus takes care of me anytime, anyday. That is the story of my life.
