Wonderful, it is worthy to note that there is visibility in Governance today in Imo State

it pains me alot to know that our democratic system is still crawling at the present time,a country were justice is seen is seen as injustice. The problem of underdevelopment in Nigeria,is as a result of not been objectively constructive when matters arise. Why do I say so,President Buhari detaching Ikpeazu's security aid,displays Mr President as one who do not have experience of what the rule of law means,how can you move so fast to act,when the embattled Ikpeazu has gone to appeal court. One thing I see in this Buhari's led administration, is that the only interest is that of the interest of the helms man,and not of Nigerians benefit.
