    1. Whatever a man sows , that he shall also reap. If we had prayed enough for a free, fair,credible election,good leader, and God has given us Asiwaju Tinubu to pilot the affairs of Nigeria,so be it to his glory. The heart of a king is in the hand of God. People should not panic,we are told to always pray for our leaders as it’s in the Bible. But clear conscience is helpful and prolongs human life. Let’s watch God’s actions.
