There is an image of a video of a woman in pain, crying from the loss of someone. That is the image we should use.
If you want to wish him a happy birthday, which I suggest we should actually wish our president a happy birthday.
So everyone seeing this video, if you feel you want to wish him a happy birthday, please use that video. There are images from it.
There’s videos. Look online. You will see it. There was a woman in pain. 15 hours ago, there was a disaster in Plateau. That is the celebratory message we should use, please.
Thank you. Happy birthday, Mr. President. Please, that is the image. That’s the only thing we need to use to celebrate him. Thank you.”
