IF, Transformation is directly proportional to change, If follows that

PDP = rAPC

Where r is a constant called RECURRING CURRUPTION

r = PDP/APC

Dividing by P which is Politics,

r = PD/AC

Where PD = Previous Devil =GEJ
And AC = Active Criminal. = PMB

But PD = AC

GEJ = PMB

Therfore

r = PD/AC = 1

Pls don't mind my analysis


Vote Individual not party

God bless our country
