COURT OVERFLOWS WITH GOVERNOR OKOROCHA'S SUPPORTERS AS TRIBUNAL CONTINUES SITTING
ONWUASOANYA FCC JONES
The State High Court, Owerri, venue for the sitting of the National Assembly Petitions Tribunal is filled to the brim and overflowing as constituents of the Senator-elect, show massive solidarity to their Senator and outgoing governor.
Women, youths and artisans who transported themselves to the venue of the tribunal sitting, declared that they are ever determined to defend the mandate which they freely gave to His Excellency Owelle Rochas Okorocha, as their Senator.
According to Chief Macanthony Uzondu from Oru-West, there are high level manipulations targeted at denying the Igbos a strong voice in the present Nigerian polity. He however expressed hope that the judiciary, being the last hope of the common man and the gatekeeper of democracy, will not allow these dangerous conspiracies to stand.
"I am happy that those who wish to challenge the victory of His Excellency are in court, that is the right thing to do. However, you can clearly observe some high level manipulations from the APC in collaboration with the INEC to rob His Excellency of his well-earned mandate, but I trust the judiciary to do justice and keep manipulators and anti-democrats at bay."
For Dr. Mrs. Josephine Udoji, she is at the tribunal as a women leader in Orlu zone and a mother in solidarity with Orlu people who freely gave their votes to Owelle Rochas Okorocha as their preferred Senator.
"We voted for Owelle massively, the women, the youths and the men. Majority of us voted for the APC and Owelle, and we do not have any doubts that he will retain the mandate we gave him. He is the best for us and he means well, not just for the people of Orlu zone, but for all Nigerians and I appeal to those challenging his victory to sheathe their swords and wait for their time."

Imo State APC Coalition members fought Each other... Find out why and how
Finally, Imo State APC Coalition torn apart as irreconcilable interests led to members holding each other at throat
...members labelled each other as Irresponsible Political Bandits
...Ararume's intention to move to APGA blamed
The members of Imo State APC Coalition a.k.a Imo Allied Forces has finally crumbled as irreconcilable Political interests tear the group apart.
Information from reliable source had it that the members held a crucial meeting at the home of the Chairman of Coalition group, Chief Obiyo in Ugiri Ike village, Ikeduru LGA, Imo State.
In attendance were some key members of the Coalition.
Out of the 27 Coalition LGA Chairmen in Imo State, only 14 attended. They are
12 LGAs in Orlu Zone mobilised by Senator Osita Izunaso and 2 LGA's from Okigwe Zone.
The rest 13 LGA's purported to be Loyal to the duo of Prince Eze Madumere and Sir Jude Ejiogu from Owerri Zone and remaining of Okigwe Zone we learnt boycotted the meeting and held a collision meeting another place.
This showed that Zonal interest also contributed to tearing the Coalition group apart.
The reasons for the meeting that truly brought out the true colours of members of the APC Coalition as a group of people with unquenchable selfish interest and political criminality was not unconnected to the recently released Timetable for Party Primaries and probably the decision on whether to use direct primary or not which they saw that it,is not favouring them.
Another key critical reason was the affirmed decision of Senator Ifeanyi Ararume to port to APGA in other to pursue his guber ambition.
This was made known by Nwanda, former House of representatives member.
At this juncture,the suspended Deputy Chairman of APC , Hon. Ugochukwu Nzekwe took the floor, collected the microphone and querried about the rational behind the intention to move to another Party. He was blunt to blame the plan to move to APGA as the brain child of defeated former National Organizing Secratery of Party, Senator Osita Izunaso out of his selfishness and desperation to be the Governor of Imo State. Hon. Ugochukwu Nzekwe noted that it was as a result of the selfishness of former Senator Osita Izunaso that made them to mess up things during the Congress and he selfishly grabbed the result sheets,deceived other members and wrote the results in his own favour in other for him to achieve his own selfish Interest.
Speaking further, Hon. Nzekwe gave a condition before the plan to move to APGA will commence which was for Senator Izunaso to make known his political interest first and not when they finally move to APGA, Izunaso will spring up surprise again by declaring to run for Governorship race.
According to Nzekwe, the Nkwerre LGA born politician maintained that his reason for the demand was because Senator Ifeanyi Ararume is their collective interest.
At this juncture, angrily, Senator Osita Izunaso snatched the Phone from Nzekwe and responded by calling them CONGREGATION OF IRRESPONSIBLE POLITICAL BANDITS.
In his speech, Senator Izunaso accused the members of Coalition as terrible set of human beings that are too dangerous to work with.
Informing further, Senator Izunaso noted that because of the Coalition,
1.He lost his plum position as the National Organising Secretary of APC made possible by Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha.
2. He also accused Senator Ararume of bringing 7 Candidates to run again him for the post of National Organising Secretary which he contested and as a result, he lost the election.
3. And also poor planning of hijacking of the result sheets.
At this juncture, the Media people present were chased out because they have started washing thier dirty linens in public.
Laying claim that he has contrbubted immensely in the struggle and should not be bared from running for Imo State governorship race on the back of the Coalition group, Senator Osita Izunaso exposed themselves by reminding them that they should not forget that no Congress was actually conducted as the Coalition group claimed as the entire result sheets from Ward Level to State were all written in his House before the Federal High Court cancelled the purported Congress and requested for fresh one.
In his words, having done all these, it's highly irresponsible for anyone to tell him not to run for Governor of Imo State.
At this juncture, he asked for accreditation. The asked the coalition LGA Chairmen from Orlu Zone to stand up which they did and that pointed to the fact that out of the 14 LGA Chairmen, only two present did not come from Orlu.
He later violently threw the microphone away and stormed out of the meeting with the 12 coalition LGA Chairmen.
While leaving, he called Senator Ararume an Impostor who knew nothing about their plan to move to APGA.
After this, Sir TOE Ekechi took the floor and sternly warned Senator Ararume not to use the group to negotiate his move to APGA, they they have resolved to remain in APC.
Adding his voice,Chief Longers Anyanwu from Okigwe Zone accused the duo of Senators Osita Izunaso and Ararume of being responsible for the confusion in Coalition Camp.
According to him, both of them are very bad Leaders using the group to pursue their personal selfish interests.
Chief Longers labelled Senator Osita Izunaso as the worst person on earth to work with, describing him as someone who want to reap where he did not sow.
He further wondered how Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha was managing him.
Another member of the group, Gen. Gbuje who is also running for the gubernatorial election said that him and his supporters will not leave APC. According to him, a General does not abandon a battle Field.
In all these, Senator Benjamin Uwajiumogu described as Lily livered could not make any contribution affirming whether he is in coalition or not.
Rather, he informed them that he recently had meeting with the National Chairman of APC, Comrade Oshimole on how to get automatic ticket back to the Red Chamber. This extremely angered other members of coalition present which led to booing and shutting him down even as a serving Senator.
After the meeting, the expression on Senator Ararume showed that he had a bitter taste as the outcome of the meeting did not favour him.
Hilary Ekeh, Ugochukwu Nzekwe, TOE Ekechi all stated that they will remain in APC.

How I spent 11hours on treetop to escape abduction - DINO MELAYE
In a lengthy discussion with PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday afternoon, Mr Melaye narrated his own version of what he said unfolded along the Abuja-Lokoja Highway.
In all, he confirmed he was not abducted, but that he was not the architect of his ordeal either.
He said he was travelling from Abuja to Lokoja for a court appearance on Thursday morning and shortly after passing Gwagwalada, which is roughly 50 kilometres southwest of Abuja, a convoy of three vehicles drove recklessly by his vehicle, intercepting him on the highway and forcing him to stop.
He said the assailants tried to open fire to force themselves into the vehicle, only to realise that it was a well-fortified vehicle with bullet-proof. Without much time to waste at the scene, the attackers devised an alternative.
“They started shouting that they wanted to burn me, they said ‘burn him, burn him down,’ and crossed the road to look for tyres to set the vehicle on fire,” Mr Melaye said.
As the attackers dispersed in different directions to scavenge for tyres, Mr Melaye said he feared for his life and made instinctive calculation to jump into the bush and bolt, rather than remained in the car in defiance.
“I jumped into the bush, and I started running,” Mr Melaye said. “They pursued me and I was able to outmanoeuvre them and climb a tree.
“I was on top of the three when I saw them run past looking frantically for me. When they didn’t find me, they also ran back.”
The senator said it was on the tree that he perched until his assailants left. While on the tree, he saw four of them passing, but remained hushed to avoid being detected.
He would go on to spend 11 hours trying to ensure that he was no longer at immediate risk from his assailants and navigating his way out of the overgrown weeds.
He also said he could not identify any of them, even if there is an identification parade by authorities, largely because he was more apprehensive of his survival than anything else at that traumatic moment.
Mr Melaye said he believed those who attempted to attack him were police-sponsored elements.
He said when he appeared in court on Wednesday for his attempted suicide trial at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, he saw some men trailing him after the proceeding.
He described the vehicles the men were driving as two Toyota Hilux trucks and a Toyota Sienna minivan.
“They were exactly the same vehicle that were used to attack me on Thursday morning,” he said.
He was driving to Lokoja in a vehicle not previously known with him, in a bid to disguise his move to those who were trailing him.
“I was going in a totally different vehicle, but I asked my brother to drive behind me in an SUV as a back-up,” he said. “But I was shocked to see the attackers run into the middle, creating wall between my brother and I before attacking me.”
He said his brother immediately performed a U-turn, a task that was by and large seamless since he was not the target of the assailants.

“Just five days ago , he defrauded a young widow N 500 ,000 with a fake promise that he would secure stay visa for the widow’ s three children.

THE FIRST 15 RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD: From Forbes Magazine 2016
1. QATAR - $88,222.00 PPP - Purchasing Power Parity: As you can see, Qatar is the number 1 richest country in the world. At 11,000 Km2, Qatar is less than Imo and Abia states (put together) in size. So my dears, it is not always about the size of a country. Qatar is also 'landlocked' and a desert. Qatar's population na just 2 million people (mostly foreign workers).
2. LUXEMBOURG - $81,466.00 PPP. Only 500K people in population (not up to 1 million people). At 2,500 Km2, Luxembourg is half the size of the smallest state in Nigeria, Anambra state (Anambra state is 4,800 Km2). Again, as you can see, over-population and massive landsize do not often count.
3. SINGAPORE - $56,694.00 PPP. Smaller than Biafraland. Gained independence from Great Britain in 1965. Five years after useless Nigeria! 5 million people in population!
4. NORWAY - $51,959 PPP. Smaller than Biafraland. 5 million people.
5. BRUNEI - $48,333.00 PPP. Smaller than Biafraland. 400K people.
6. UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - $47,439.00 PPP. Smaller than Biafraland. 9 million people. Mostly foreign workers.
7. USA - $46,860.00 PPP. Almost the size of a continent with only 300 million people. One state in the USA can be 5 times the size of Nigeria.
8. HONG KONG - $45,944.00 PPP. 7 million people. At 1,104 Km2 it is not even one-fifth the size of Anambra state, the smallest state in Niger Area!
9. SWITZERLAND - $41,950.00 PPP. 8 million people. Smaller than Biafraland. Landlocked country.
10. NETHERLANDS - $40,973.00 PPP. 16 million people.
11. AUSTRALIA - $39,764.00 PPP. A continent with a population of just 23 million.
12. AUSTRIA - $39,761.00 PPP. Smaller than Biafraland. 8 million people.
13. IRELAND - $39,492.00 PPP. Smaller than Biafraland. 4.5 million people.
14. CANADA - $39,171.00 PPP. Almost a continent with a population of just 35 million.
15. KUWAIT - $38,775.00 PPP. Much smaller than Biafraland. 3 million people. Mostly foreign workers.
As you can clearly observe, Nigeria is just a big for nothing country.

Man commits suicide in Lagos
*Corpse removed before alerting police —PPRO
Tragedy struck in Okokomaiko, Ojo Local Government, Lagos State, when a man committed suicide, hanging himself. Saturday Vanguard gathered that the incident occurred after efforts by the deceased, identified as Papa Ugochukwu, to resolve the fued between his wife, mother-in-law and their Pastor, proved abortive.
Minutes after embarking on the act, residents disclosed that the lifeless body of the deceased was discovered by co-tenants who raised the alarm, attracting passers-by and other tenants of the one-storey building sited on Kemberi road, Okokomaiko.
It was gathered that the deceased relatives removed the body which was found clutched to the ceiling fan in his parlour.
Before committing suicide on Friday, December 1, the deceased allegedly destroyed his Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) cards and left a suicide note on the table. Sources said that in the suicide note, the deceased narrated what transpired before embarking on the act which ended his life, alleging that his wife and mother-in-law were his problems.
It was alleged that on sighting the note, the wife made away with the note to cover the allegations leveled against them by the deceased.
Confirming the tragedy, the Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, Lagos command, Chike Oti, yesterday, noted that though the law enforcement agents were yet to arrest anyone, but stressed that investigation was still ongoing.
The PPRO hinted that the body recovered from the scene had been allegedly taken away to the deceased hometown before the complaints were lodged at the Okokomaiko police station.
“They have taken the body away before reporting at the Okokomaiko police station. Also, during investigation, we learnt that a suicide note was left behind by the deceased but was not presented while reporting the case at the station.”
Sources told Saturday Vanguard that the police have spread its drag net due some doubt surrounding the deceased’s death.
Pastor in Trouble for Killing a Snake in Anambra State
An altercation has ensued between members of the Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, and Umuoji community in Idemili North
Local Government Area of Anambra State over the killing of a snake in
the community by the General Overseer of the Mercy Throne Assembly, Umuoji,
Rev Jude Chubueze.
Rev Chibueze said a snake stormed his house at night when members of his family were already
sleeping. He said he heard his children screaming and rushed there to find a snake where his
children had been sleeping.
“When I got to their room, I saw a big snake lying with them and I had to kill it and threw it into
the nearby bush.
The following day, some community members marched to my house and
accused me of killing their god.
They beat me up mercilessly. “They wrote a list of items amounting to N54,890 which they said I should buy to appease their god.
Being a Christian, I told them that it is against my faith and more over, I killed a snake and not a human being.”
One of the community leaders, Chief Paul Edekobi said, instead of the pastor doing what he earlier agreed to do with the community by providing the items, he dragged them to Ogidi Police
Station where six of the community leaders were arrested.
The Chief threatened that what he did was capable of wiping out his entire family if sacrifices were not made to appease the gods.
“We do not want to destroy his property and that is why we used the palm fronts to tie round the church to stop him from worshipping there for now,” Edekobi said.
But the pastor said: “What they are talking about is not tradition; they see the killing of a snake as a taboo in their world of idol worshipping and not same in Christian faith “If they do not desist from this act, our next port of call will be the court for the enforcement of our fundamental human rights.”@Masco Infinity

CIA Agent Confesses On Deathbed: ‘I Killed Bob Marley’
Former CIA agent Bill Oxley has confessed on his deathbed to assassinating Bob Marley on behalf of the government.
A 79-year-old retired officer of the CIA, Bill Oxley, has made a series of stunning confessions since he was admitted to the Mercy Hospital in Maine on Monday and told he has weeks to live.
He claims he committed 17 assassinations for the American government between 1974 and 1985, including the music icon Bob Marley.
Mr. Oxley, who worked for the CIA for 29 years as an operative with top-level security clearances, claims he was often used as a hitman by the organization, to assassinate individuals who could represent a threat to the goals of the agency.
Trained as a sniper and marksman, Mr. Oxley also has significant experience with more unconventional methods of inflicting harm upon others, like poisons, explosives, induced heart attacks and cancer.
The 79-year-old operative claims he committed the assassinations between March 1974 and August 1985, at a time when he says the CIA “was a law unto itself.” He says he was part of an operative cell of three members which carried out political assassinations across the country and occasionally in foreign countries.
Most of their victims were political activists, journalists, and union leaders, but he also confesses to assassinating a few scientists, medical researchers, artists and musicians whose ideas and influence “represented a threat to the interests of the United States.”
He claims he had no problem with going through with the assassination of Bob Marley, because “I was a patriot, I believed in the CIA, and I didn’t question the motivation of the agency. I’ve always understood that sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.”
But Mr. Oxley confesses that Bob Marley remains unique among his victims, as he was the only victim he “felt anything for.”
“The others were assholes. Bob Marley was Bob Marley. I was no closer to being a long-haired hippy back then than I am now, but I must admit Bob’s music did move me. It held some power over me.”
He claims to have “mixed feelings” about Bob Marley’s death. On the one hand, Marley was “a good man, a beautiful soul” with “profound artistic gifts” who did not deserve to have his life cut short. But according to Mr. Oxley, Bob Marley was also placing the goals of the CIA in jeopardy and threatening the existence of the United States:
“He was succeeding in creating a revolution that used music as a more powerful tool than bullets and bombs. Bob Marley in 1976 was a very serious threat to the global status quo and to the hidden power brokers implementing their plan for a new world order.
As far as the agency was concerned, Bob Marley was too successful, too famous, too influential…
A Jamaican Rastaman who started using his funds and fame to support causes around the world that were in direct conflict with the CIA… To be honest, he signed his own death warrant.”
“It’s not like we didn’t warn him. We sent a few guys to shoot up his house in Kingston,” Mr Oxley says, referring to a shooting in the Marley residence that left the singer with an injured arm and chest. “We had a message for him.
We impressed upon him the gravity of the situation he found himself in. He didn’t listen.”
“Two days later, in the mountains, I stuck him with the pin.“
How Bob Marley was murdered by the CIA
Two days after Bob Marley was shot in the left arm by one of three gunmen who ambushed the singer and some of his crew in his house in Kingston, and after a brief stint in hospital, Bob Marley travelled to the protective hills of the Blue Mountains and spent time at the highest point in Jamaica, rehearsing for an upcoming concert.
According to Mr. Oxley, he used press credentials to gain access to Bob Marley during his Blue Mountains retreat. He introduced himself as a famous photographer working for the New York Times, and gave Bob Marley a gift.
“I gave him a pair of Converse All Stars. Size 10. When he tried on the right shoe, he screamed out ‘OUUUCH.‘
“That was it. His life was over right there and then. The nail in the shoe was tainted with cancer viruses and bacteria. If it pierced his skin, which it did, it was goodnight nurse.”
“There had been a series of high-profile assassinations of counter-culture figures in the United States in the late sixties, early seventies. By the time Bob Marley’s time came around, we thought subtlety was the order of the day. No more bullets and splattered brains.”
Mr. Oxley says he kept close contact with Marley during the final years of his life, ensuring the medical advice he received in Paris, London and the United States “would hasten his demise rather than cure him.”
He died from cancer in May 1981. He was just 36 years old.

“The last time I saw Bob before he died he had removed the dreadlocks, and his weight was dropping like a stone,” he says.
“He was very withdrawn, unbelievably small. He was shrinking in front of us. The cancer had done it’s job.”
“The day he died in Miami was definitely one of the most difficult moments in my career. I felt real bad.
For a long time I wasn’t comfortable with my part in his death. But eventually I came to realize it had to be done, for America.”

HARDSHIP, RESULT OF MISMANAGEMENT BY PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS —BUHARI
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said that Nigeria is facing serious challenges due to manifold corruption and mismanagement of resources by previous administrations saying that is why the present government put in place measures to check the hydra-headed monster.
Buhari who spoke through the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo at the graduation of Executive Course 39 at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Plateau State mentioned Treasury Single Account (TSA) as one of the measures to curb financial recklessness and leakages.
He said the directive that all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) should open one account where federal revenues will go to has yielded positive results adding that government is now sure of what it has in the account as ghost workers have been flushed out or reduced to the barest minimum, while money is being saved.
The president who said it is because of the economic measures taken by government to tackle corruption head-on that Nigeria is exiting from financial recession added that government has made agriculture its focus in order to diversify the economy, while the economy is stabilising.
He expressed confidence that the naira will continue to appreciate.
“We are where we are today because of our failure to invest. I’m happy that the price of rice has dropped drastically while all the moribund fertilizer plants have been revived,” he said.
He asserted that government is seeing 2018 as the year of many plans as government is encouraging more industries thereby creating jobs for the teeming unemployed citizens of the country.
On security, he said government is doing all it could to cage and crush the remnants of the Boko Haram insurgency in the country, while appealing to the people to be religious tolerant.
To the participants, Buhari urged them to deploy the knowledge gained at the institute to help the nation in whatever capacity they find themselves, admitting that government is aware of the hardship the institute is facing and is committed to addressing the myriad of problems.
The acting Director-General of NIPSS, Mr. Jonathan Juma, congratulated the 66 participants on their successful completion of their course.
Juma appealed to government to approve special financial intervention for the Institute to enable it to address the catalogue of issues confronting it.

EFCC,DSS CLASH OVER ARREST OF EX-DG, EKPENYONG ITA
DSS bars EFCC from arresting ex-DG, Ekpenyong Ita
Drama is currently playing out at the home of a former Director-General of the Department of State Services, Ekpenyong Ita, as men of the DSS are preventing operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from arresting him.
Our correspondent who is also at the scene, reports that EFCC operatives arrived at the scene around 11am with an arrest warrant.
The EFCC officials and armed policemen numbering over 50 attempted to enter the premises located at 46 Mamman Nasir Street, Asokoro but the heavily armed DSS officials, some of which are wearing masks, refused to allow the EFCC men inside.
The DSS officials simply said they were acting on “orders from above”.
Ita has been under investigation for his alleged role in the disbursement of funds meant for arms.
While a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (Retd.) and other service chiefs have been arraigned, the DSS has refused to release its own officials for probe.
The DSS and the EFCC have been at loggerheads for over a year which culminated in the DSS sending a report to the Senate not to confirm the acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.

Governors want Buhari to Recontest... Okorocha
Governor Rochas Okorocha has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term project enjoys the support of most governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okorocha, who spoke when leaders of the Democratic Youths Congress visited him, yesterday, at the
Government House, Owerri, disclosed that with the exception of two or three, other governors across party divide wanted Buhari to re-contest.
A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo, quoted Okorocha as saying: “Most governors including all the South-East governors are supporting President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term whether PDP, APC or APGA, except one or two of the governors in the country who are not in support.
“I am a believer in Buhari and I made it clear years ago that if he is running for president I will not run. This is because I have seen a man that has the strength of character to lead this Nigeria at this moment of our history. There is no better president for Nigeria now other than President Buhari.
He might not be the best president for Nigeria in 2023 or 2027, but for the Nigeria of today, he is the right man for the job. His fight against corruption takes an unusual character to execute. His style to end terrorism in the North East is again something that requires his personal character.
“Nigeria has come out of recession in the shortest period recorded in history and this is a testament to Buhari’s tenacity. And since I have resolved with my political family to shelve my ambition and support Buhari, I want to appeal to others to show such support to him.”
But in a swift reaction, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dismissed the claim that opposition governors were part of the Buhari reelection project.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye in a telephone interview said Okorocha was known for making false claims and urged Nigerians to disregard him.
The spokesman said the PDP governors were currently working with the party’s leadership to ensure that its national convention slated for December 9 is successful.
“Our governors are not part of the Buhari reelection plan. Rochas Okorocha has a penchant for telling lies. Nobody should take him serious.
Our governors cannot be working for Buhari’s reelection. How can they be working for Buhari. On what ground should they be working for Buhari’s reelection?” Adeyeye queried.
When asked to comments on statement by the Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi asking President Buhari to seek reelection in 2019, he said, “I don’t want to talk about Dave Umahi, but what I am telling you is that our governors are not working for Buhari’s reelection.”
Also reacting, Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose dismissed Okorocha’s claim as “mere comedy of error that shouldn’t be taken serious.”
He added: “The claims is akin to an idle talk of beer parlour mates who are fond of emitting careless comic statements to deliberately create comic relief in a tension soaked atmosphere.”
According to the chairman of the PDP Governorship Forum who spoke through his Special Adviser on New media and Communication, Lere Olayinka:
“Buhari in the first place has not said he would contest in 2019 and so, you cannot be supporting what is not in existence.
Why would PDP governors be supporting what is not there?”
