National Chairman, People Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Ahmed Muazu on Saturday promised to ensure a level-playing field for all party members in the forthcoming 2015 elections.

ReplyDeleteIts quite embarrassing if a story is up to the level of publishing, yet such a significant error could not be noticed. The topic and the content are very conflicting.
ReplyDeleteMu'azu just started the race. He will run from Rivers to Gongola, Sokoto to Lagos, Maiduguri even to hell and achieve nothing at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteIt is only a fool that sympathizes with the party of rogues.
