This is an expose of the real Buhari. Buhari has not answered one question correctly and intelligently. Not one. #NGTheCandidates

Buhari is talking about the Press "helping us expose Corrupt Governors, that steal LG funds"
Baba, what did you do with Ganduje's video? #NGTheCandidates

Watching #NGTheCandidates on NTA

Baba is fumbling like Bakayoko of Chelsea as usual
He can't hear or answer simple questions well

So Osinbajo is now doing a Kante for him
He is intercepting all the passes and covering up for him

Fam, We need to sell this Bakayoko this season

They said 112 million were poor in 2012 and now it's 86 million.. isn't it obvious that the rest died off from poverty😂😂😂 #NgTheCandidates

#NGTheCandidates Who's running for president?

Buhari or Osinbajo??

Osinbajo= 1000 words

Buhari= 25 words

It was not only inappropriate, but disrespectful for Osinbajo to hijack the president's questioning. It is called 'The Candidates' for a reason, I believe, and not the 'Candidates' Assistants'.
