 Talking astir Nigeria, determination is thing successful this state that appears real. The information you are meant to believe, if you x-ray it, it is not adjacent the truth. We are each surviving by the grace of God and we judge that someday God volition springiness Nigeria and Rivers State the world of existent governance. Whatever is happening oregon had happened in Rivers State is the making of Tinubu and nary 1 else. People deliberation (Nyesom) Wike has a manus successful each of these happenings, well, Wike is an worker of the president. The president takes work for everything that happens successful the country. Whatever that is going connected successful immoderate authorities of the state is the making of the president.

The time helium was sworn-in, helium made a connection that changed the state till date. There was a president and Nigeria had a bearable economy. But Tinubu came successful and made a connection and fewer hours aboriginal Nigeria changed. Up till today, Nigeria has not recovered from that situation. The president of this state has shown that helium tin marque and helium tin mar. Anything helium wants to change, helium tin marque it hap with the backing of the tribunal and his Attorney General.
