If you think I am supporting Peter Obi because he is a Christian then replace him with Orji Uzor Kalu, or Rochas Okorocha and see if I will do same. If you think I disliked Atiku because he is not a Christian then replace him with Babagana Zulum or Lamido Sanusi and see if I won't support anyone of them. If you think I disliked Bola Tinubu because he is a yoruba man, replace him with Akinwumi Adesina or Yemi Osinbajo and see if I won't support anyone of them.
