Rochas, Ken Nnamani, Ben Ayade, Tunde Bakare, and our military man Dimeji Bankole did not make the safe list.
Ayade just retired like that. Lost senatorial ticket too. Rochas from prison to screening, but they still did not pity him. Bakare's prophecy of number 16 failed him

If there's anyone of them who knew he would be disqualified, it is Dimeji Bankole ?
I strongly believe Tinubu bought that form for him for obvious reason #APCPrimaries— Temi (@potter_lite) June 4, 2022

Why do I feel like they smuggled Asiwaju's name back because of his outbursts? SW twitter would have been on fire.
They would have removed him like they did to Dimeji Bankole, Ben Ayade, Tunde Bakare and the others.Sometimes you need to be loud. https://t.co/YfnUUqk0x0

#100M ti wógbó
Rochas Okorocha, Ken Nnamani, Ben Ayade, Tunde Bakare, and our military man Dimeji Bankole failed to make the list.
I pity Pst. Tunde Bakare most, using that huge money that would've been used to settle the loan his church took.
Who'll win? Osinbajo or Tinubu?
