It’s not normal to retire from International football at 27. The excuse Victor Moses gave does not really sound ok. There’s something he’s not telling us.
All the same, wishing him all the best in the rest of his career.— Umeh and 99 others (@UmehOMA) August 15, 2018
Saraki is ‘considering running for President in 2019’
…and the plot thickens for Nigeria’s political drama!
Senate President, Bukola Saraki has made it known that he is considering running for the highest political office in Nigeria in the coming elections.
Saraki, who recently defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), told Bloomberg in an interview that he is “consulting and actively considering” the move.
Saraki who is currently under fire from his former party says he believes he “is able to make the change”.
Is this presidential dream about to come true?
This spiritual leader has prophecied that Saraki will win if he contests…
The founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said the Saraki will win the 2019 presidential election if contests under the PDP.
How do the electorates feel about all of this?
Bukola Saraki should wait till when Nigeria will officially adopt Lootocracy as our system of government, he will be returned unopposed with
Atiku as his VP and Sule Lamido as Senate President— SoulJah (@jeffphilips1) August 15, 2018
I have always told PDP goons to field Bukola Saraki as their Presidential candidate and let us clear his doubt once and for all and retire him untimely.
Thieves and Looters will NEVER find their way back into Ask Rock again.

Bukola Saraki is considering contesting for presidency in 2019. It is not he’s capable of defeating Buhari, he’s just desperate to fulfill his fantacy of having the compound word ‘presidential candidate’ attached to his name. It is a fantacy.

A Bukola Saraki is a million times better than a Buhari in 2019. Take a cup of coffee afterwards
