So, the only person that can help us to improve socially, economically, Infrastructures and issues of securities in the whole of Nigeria is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
"Don't let us fold our hands for things to degenerate and break us as a Nation, because if Nigeria breaks up or their is violence or civil war, it would spill over the whole of West African, even America will be touched.
