“You’re saying all these because of your father present predicament… the present government is actually working and on the right part.”

“Haba! I didn’t know that you’ve changed to the opposition. But your daddy would’ve been part of this if he had crossed the senate hurdle.”

“You wouldn’t be saying this if your father had gotten the ministerial post. You are not saying it because of your love for Nigerians, it’s because your father was pushed away.”

“But your father worked vigorously in helping him become the president. What was he thinking then? Just a question though.”
