Bola Tinubu Tells PDP to "Shut Up"

What on heart could have made the Asiwaju of Lagos to make this kind of demonstration, if not his hatred for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He mounted the podium and took a swipe at the party today (Thursday 13th October, 2011) during an ACN rally in Lagos.

Even where they should win, they still rig." 

He went further to praise the strides of Governor Babatunde Fashola, saying he's turned Lagos into a mega city and he doesn't regret supporting him. Criticizing the PDP further Tinubu said...

This is probably the most unexpected news coming from the movie industry at this time. Popular comic actor, Baba Wuse (reals names Babatunde Omidina) is now under close observation as NDLEA officials wait patiently for him to start excreting the white substances in his stomach - he's said to have ingested some kilograms of Cocaine.

Evidences that the Nigerian film industry is taking a dangerous slope towards pornography are emerging at the speed of light with our teenagers and young adults as major victims.

Although he pleaded guilty to the charges against him in court, he nonetheless issued out some strong warnings to the US government.
