PDP is a disease and we are finding a final solutions to this deadly disease.

All the supporters of this disease are suffering from mental problem. I am surprised some people are supporting evil.

Because Amaechi was against his brother for so many reasons, all the Niger Delta want him death and everything that concerns APC, even GEJ confess he did nothing for them, still they want him there.

Hatred never solve problems rather compounding it
