So because people feel that APC will "WIN" next month ELECTION all the CROOKS in PDP are HEADING to APC? So how APC go FIGHT CORRUPTION when CORRRUPTIONS dey RUN ENTER APC? Nigerians dey DREAM if dem dey EXPECT any good from their CROOKS-CUM-POLITICIANS. I go LAUF in 4years TIME, just as I don finish LAUFING at the MUMUs wey say in 2011 that Bros JONA na their MESSIAH.
