I don't believe he is calmed..just that he didn't have apt answers to some issues. Especially in the case of zoning and continuity

My movement from one party to the other should tell you how passionate and purpose-driven I am. - Fatai Akingbade, ADC Candidate. #OsunDebate

Its disappointing to see that Sen. Adeleke of PDP did not show up. Its annoying when our political representatives think they don't own the people a debate. And I like the guy o, but I am disappointed at this.
