Contracts from a government that overthrew Buhari. At a time in this country there was such a thing as PRINCIPLE and HONOUR. I know that is a rare quality for a generation that tolerates corruption in government and mediocre presidency but please i say this to you. ...you dont know the man who is your incoming President. He is on a level beyond most people, maybe that is why you are all scared of him and you should be. 3 Likes Re: Are You Aware That Buhari Divorced His First Wife Before She Died? by ola6: 12:43am On Jan 03, 2015 F@@king Buhari!!!
