@renoomokri and @realFFK, to name but a few!

What if Tnubu wants to give @renoomokri and @realFFK the @elrufai treatment by offloading them to the floor of the Senate?

@anointingfire89

But sir @realFFK, why did you lock the comment section? Don't you want us to congratulate you and wish you well?
