But the Garba Shehu that we are confronted with here is one that is wasting everything for the inordinate ambition of one person whose every value is as warped as a mesh of cob-webs.
So far, Garba Shehu has not worked to extricate Atiku Abubakar from blame but is working hard to send the president down with Atiku and if he is reading what Nigerians are saying, reading lips, and their body-language, his diatribe is not gelling with the public.
