This is a very serious matter o. I guess there should be a limit to cross-carpeting in Nigerian Politics else, this country would fall to be a one-party state; or where the opposition would be so weak and ineffective.



Abi why do chikens cross the road?

The cross carpeting of politician in preparation for 2015 is unavoidable especially as the election date draws near. No permanent friends or foes but interest. May God help us. www.affordablehousingscheme.com/landlord

nawa o this jonah guy is more powerful than i thought, the greatest leader is the one who attracts dedicated followers reminds me of a man in a book I read who started with just twelve members in his party now his party has branches on every street of the world would APGA and labour go the way of CPC , AC and ANPP something must be done before we end up with a one party state.
