He is the president and has that prerogative.

Any miscreants wey the thing pain should nullify the presidential honour granted the retired generals.

I think this man is being remote-controlled.
People who controlled thousands of personnel will not have the motivation to serve in an office of just a handful of persons.
Except they want to stay close to the countries where looted funds have been stashed.
Goodluck to them.

Is this some kind of crude, tasteless joke?

Dodging ICC prosecution with international diplomatic immunity, smart move

Simplyleo:
He is the president and has that prerogative.

The question is not about what the president can do or cannot do.
I hope APC will disband their party after this administration because we are tired of carrying their shit.

Buhari is a disaster
