Na una sabi
ReplyDeleteBut did he or did he not sponsor people for the event, politicians or not?
ReplyDeleteWhether people were sponsored or not...there is Dubai in the equation.
Common he is not stupid to do that. I am not in any way related to him or a fan of politicians. In his position as the 3rd most important person, we know one person can sponsor this trip (Infact all expense paid) because they are expecting favor from him. Let’s not be gullible.
DeleteWhy Dubai? Do you expect an applause?.. You know you occupy an extremely sensitive office, yet you do these things and don’t expect a call out?
ReplyDeleteHe was in the news not so ago after buying a G-Wagon for his wife..
Hahaha did the 90yr old travel?
ReplyDeletewhen you meet the woman you will know she can travel. well spoken lady, lives in surulere
DeleteShame of a nation.
ReplyDeleteI guess there's an element of truth after all
ReplyDeletegbajabiomila
ReplyDeleteThis Gbajabiamila and controversy over misappropriation of public funds for family birthdays!
ReplyDeleteFirst, that "Assurance" G-Wagon birthday for his wife with his clownish dressing in Burberry attire from head to toe. Now, a birthday in Dubai for his 90 year old mother. Would she even be able to enjoy such a trip and all that pomp.
