They are known gun men deceiving themselves. If they continue like this, nobody will remain to vote next year.
See how the Adelekes all stood for their brother and Uncle.

Nawa.

Ipob

There's no love lost between ibo brothers,especially when the age gap is low. Ibos are generally selfish when it comes to family matters. No iota of spirit of brotherhood among them. Its only in d east u see two brothers killing each other over a tiny pieces of land,its also over there you see blood brothers matcheting each other over their late father"s property. The worst thing a Yoruba man would do is take his brother to court over land matter. They don't resort to physical brawl like the ibos
