I just hope all these things don't turn one those APC's lies, propaganda and deceits.

Is there no way the Nigerian police can be drafted into the ministry of interior under this minister?

A retired military officer was appointed by Buhari to head custom, what's the result?

Very soon education will not be too important anymore in the society,it will now be a bastardized version of Charles Darwin concept of survival of the fittest.

This guy is active.... 👏🏾

I second that... Although it's already a basis for promotion in armed forces, so it's not new.
