    Sai Baba . Sokoto , this is your own dividend of CHANGE . It is 25 today gve him another four years and see the number shooting up . All hail Goodluck Jonathan…….. Telling the world that his re election ambition is not worth the blood of any nigerian. While the monster we presently have as president lives with the inglorious statement that “ DOG AND BABOON WIOULD SOAK IN BLOOD IF THE 2015 WAS RIGGED. Sokoto..Sai ATIKU
