Dear Joke Silva, history and posterity wouldn't forget the position you took. You have children, they as well would have children. May the good Lord reward everyone according to their works, unto the third and fourth generations...

I’m really happy Joke Silva closed her comments and other Tinubu supporters are in the closet and afraid to publicly support him/APC. This means we’re getting somewhere.
There is shame in supporting greed, wickedness and failure, and I’m happy they recognize this.

Joke Silva closed her comments section. Why? Because There is shame in supporting APC

Joke Silva - 61, Peter Obi - 61. Using your analogy, Obi at 61 has nothing to lose, he's seeking retirement benefits and importation can't give him that. Baba is old and he may not be looking forward to achieving anything spectacular. It is what it is.

Joke Silva supporting BAT is not a big deal. Grandma has no children in the university. She has no business with pampers anymore. Granny has lived her life. Besides when she is hungry just a phone call her account will smile. No be so for me and you oooo.

Joke Silva must be having a hard time taking care of her husband and I wish her the best, but wanting jagaban who's in similar health conditions or even worse to lead a country of 200M+ people is witchcraft. pic.twitter.com/jiZMK2Brh6

Though Joke Silva just like patience ozokwor is entitled to her vote, you would expect that she would know better cos she knows 1st hand the challenges with ailment
Would she boldly say that it's best to saddle legend Olu with the burden of governin 🇳🇬 at his state? No offense
