Information reaching me is that after watching the vice Presidential #2019Debate both Dolapo and Kiki Osinbajo have resolved to vote for @PeterObi and the @OfficialPDPNig Presidential candidate on the advise of @AishamBuhari.
This is satire. Or maybe not #RenosDarts

Not the highest quality debate ever. But the leading parties comfortably have the best vice presidential candidates. As for the other parties…Look, let's take the job of leading seriously. This thing is not by adjusting agbada or babanriga. #2019Debate

“I bought the highest number of computers by any African government – 30,000” ~Peter Obi
In the first term, @kfayemi bought and distributed 48,000 Samsung laptops (30,000 for students and 18,000 for teachers) in #Ekiti State

The most damaging campaign in which Peter Obi is engaged is always citing what China & other great countries did all these years to become great whereas these countries didn’t do all these in the last 3 years. They did these during the same period his party destroyed our future

Ganiyu Galadima is uninspiring. @obyezeks what informed your choice? #2019Debate
— Sandra Ezekwesili (@SEzekwesili) December 14, 2018
So far, the most convincing participants of the debate in descending order…
1. Peter Obi (PDP)
2. Yemi Osinbajo (APC)
3. Ganiyu Galadima
4. Umma Getso (YPP)
5. The other lady is almost absent.#2019Dabate

Umma Getso's opening statement just won me over #2019Debate

Ganiyu Galadima, Oby Ezekwesili's vice keeps shouting, 'something needs to be done!' Meanwhile the question they asked him in the first place, simply put is, 'what can be done?'
In a nutshell his answer is, something.#2019Debate

It's painful to watch the other 'VP Candidates' try to make sense after Osinbajo has spoken, becuase they sound like learners…

Osinbajo said Nigeria produces 90% of the rice we consume.
This is true.
Yemi also smokes 90% of the weed produced in Nigeria. @APCNigeria IS SCAM#2019Debate

Was Peter Obi born in China???
