Can’t the President stay at home to fix it, must every government be ran in the same way?
As long as I am concern, the visit has not relevant to us as a nation, its high time the president stop all this unnecessary foreign trips.
Hon. George Chekiri Wilson.
National President.
SOUTHERN PEOPLE CONGRESS
Thank you for this.
I actually doubt if Africa leaders really understand the essence of independence they claimed to have gotten from the West. I wonder why they keep going to seek for their helps years after they had told them to let them alone. I haven’t seen any other world leader going round like ours for whatsoever reason. It is well with Nigeria O!
