Immortalizing Queen Elizabeth by renaming the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in her honor would've been an easier deal if I were communicating with our grandparents. Fortunately, they knew her worth.
Age is a grace, & 7 decades on the Throne can only be the work of God and Grace.

Adamu Garba is the worst of his kind. He said UNN is the Premier University, & it should be renamed – Queen Elizabeth II, to immortalize her name. In his bigoted mind, UNN should be stripped of its “University of Nigeria” prestige attached to it. Then why must it be in the SE? 💔

Adamu Garba u keep d!sgracing urself given the slightest opportunity, but it's not surprising since u are a proud member of the APC; The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, will not be renamed to honour any foreigner. If u want to immortalized Queen Elizabeth, bu!ld ur own university.

You Want a young agile able man to lead the UK but you want a shaking sick dubious man to be your President.
You need to evaluate yourself Adamu

Adamu Garba u d¤n't have what it takes to become a local govt councillor, talk more of being the president of Nigeria. Someone who built a w¤rthless app like Crowwe, dreams of ruling Nigeria? That's r!diculous. St!ck to something easier, cos politics !sn't ur calling. No shades.

Adamu Garba is a clown. How that guy managed to get you, people, to donate for a presidential form is what I'm yet to grasp.

Dude. Adamu Garba has been spitting rubbish since morning and I have been dropping my usual disapproval to his tweets. So if you think I'm tribalistic in my approach, I will do that over and over again cos that's on you not me.

Adamu Garba, so because your northern elites have destroyed education in the north, you want Federal govt. to destroy that of the East by changing the name of UNN to immortalize Queen Elizabeth. Your hatred for the Igbos will surely destroy you all. You don't value education!
