Let this blood sucking of the poor party die. They are fighting to maintain their privilege. They have no concern or plans for the people. We can only blame ourselves for letting such people rule over us

GEJ do not pay attention to Baba he wants you down so be messier and deal with his bad boys decisively.Baba please go on political retirement and leave your children to handle things undisturbed.
