I hope this is not politics, especially as Edo state gubernatorial election is around the corner. I hope the are able to sustain it, for the sake of the ordinary people.
PMB whats happening? Your governors are just being hyperactive with the salary thing, hope you didn’t threaten Probe and Prosecution? Just saw Cross River’s own and now its Edo state. Well done Governors, its time to sit upright!
Oshiomole has taken the bull by the horn.. hope all the Governors will emulate these and stop complaining because all they know is how to tell the President to share excess crude oil money
Well done Oshomole, dont mind those mocking you, this is another first from a change agent, i know it for sure that this country will move forward, this is what we have been praying for…
