Nice one our Gov.
ReplyDeleteHow daft. Do you not know why he created the state and what evil he did? History will bring out the truth and people will change it again.
ReplyDeleteWhat does this mean and why now? Okay Wike, you better know that you will not retain that sit after reelection because you are stabbing at the back of the people that massively voted for you.
ReplyDeleteWife you maybe inviting problems from strong quarters of your base. APC is as bad as Gowon you should have allowed the status quo ante instead of rocking the boat
