If He's a French underdog, let's see if they'll support sanctions matted on them....until France leaves the Western block, ECOWAS will never do well.

Why can't this happen in Nigeria?
Boko Haram, Herdsmen attack and Bandits have killed millions in the last 7 years in northern Nigeria and tens of millions internally displaced.
The government keeps playing politics with people's life and property, what's the need of democracy when people's life n prosperity are not respected and protected, hundreds of protesters were injured and killed in Lekki toll gate last year by the government
