This all bloody politics by the goons of APC who looking in the political terrain are aware that the APC Edo State lack what it takes for them to win Edo State during the forthcoming Governorship Election, why was the pardon not extended to His Excellency Bisi Onabanjo and numerous others who were jailed 300 years by General Buhari? Why only Edo State and particularly Ishan axis that is averse to APC. Jakande is alive today so would other Governors of the LOOBO State if not for the deliberate Wickedness of General Buhari against the Awolowo Political Family. Let APC, General Buhari and the imp Oshiomole eat the bodies of Prof Ambrose Alli, Anthony Enahoro and even Obafemi Awolowo and others they psychologically murdered.
