@Beyond1016467: “Since it’s a mistake, it should be consumed as such. I may disagree with APC chiefs in many ways but certainly wish good health to all. Politics is different from life.”
@Player_retiredd: “Is there something they’re not telling us. First Hope now Godswill. They’re all planning Tinubu’s funeral.”
@felixherbt: “Hope Uzodinma said same thing last week, today is Akpabio.. may their wish be granted expressly !!!”
@esogbuna: “Hope Uzodimma made same error. May be Saul is also among the prophets.”
@crownsAffairs: “When sycophancy reaches its peak, the brain is conditioned to praise the president at every speech. Now, it fails to realize the eulogy wasn’t meant for him.”
@AbekheMA: Imo state Governor Hope made this same error the other day, whats going on?”
