Restoring peace where is peace! Funny President! For the past 10years they haven't restored peace in Borno and killing of peaceful EndSARS protesters is restoration of peace....
Stupid man!
Restoring peace is by killing the young people, why haven't they restore peace in north by killing the boko harams, why killings those without weapon. So are the army scared of gun, or they are afraid of boko
It's sad that MBuhari who led an OccupyNigeriaProtest against an insecurity & corruption plagued PDP govt is now repressing & killing peaceful Endsars protesters against his corrupt rogue regime. We ✊ dare Prez MBuhari to kill just one Nigerian again & see the best of 🇳🇬✊
