I dey wait for the so called press conference to take place. However, even if they do, their endorsement is personal and doesn't translate to votes from numerous electorates in the Niger Delta

Fake ....Tompolo is a Pdp man. His brother is the deputy Governor. Find another lie tell

Can we say all those that have endorsed Atiku are also inconsequential?
