FLASHBACK🚨🚨‼️‼️🚨🚨‼️‼️
Between President Buhari & T-Pain Who Is A True Democrat? 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
I repeat, the legend President Buhari was a decent, disciplined and God fearing leader who knew this life is vanity upon vanity and a journey through this earth
🔥On the 4th December 2018 citing Olatunji Dare of @TheNationNews Bishop David Oyedepo while addressing his congregation of illiterates claimed President Muhammadu Buhari died in 2017 and that an entrenched cabal in Aso Rock had procured a replacement, a Sudanese body double named Jubril
🔥That the Jibril family having discovered the swindle demanded a power sharing arrangement in perpetuity and 50% of the Nigeria oil revenues for the next 10 years in the first instance
Yes, this came from the same man whose wife was reportedly feeding the the October 2020 violent insurrectionists in Lagos
What would have been the response or reaction of the T-Pain regime to this treasonable sermon of the GO of the @WinnersWLD if it happened under it? Your guess is as good mine
President Buhari in his usual humorous disposition laughed away the primitive venom of Oyedepo during a media chat calling it an “expensive and unfunny joke” but he never sent lunatics after the god of men neither did his media aides coordinate toxic attacks against him
Where were all of you tearing apart Cardinal Onaiyekan today?
