Buhari is dead and buried in Saudi Arabia since January 2017. British bandits and fulani criminals connived in London for the irrelevant tout nickname Buhari.
I Ezekiel Okeke as messenger of God in heaven, have successfully played my role for liberation of this territory natives from the bondage of fulani caliphate called Nigeria in which the six geopolitical zones are sovereign states.
Natives of the six geopolitical zones must establish interim governments of their sovereign states now with military, police etc. to defend territorial borders of their sovereign states, fix their lands and economies or remain under bondage of fulani caliphate called Nigeria, suffer in it and die in it. Only the Sword decides.
