He said, “Fair to every one to have ideas and expectations but I did not expect PMB to read a speech this morning like he is announcing a coup d’etat”
Hon Jibrin’s reaction to Buhari’s speech is coming after Nigerians have called out the President for focusing primarily on security and dealing with secessionist who are struggling to separate the country.
