People don’t want APC,the population of ghosts that voted for APC is more than the population of people that voted other parties combined in multiple folds,it means people are inconsequential

Well done Mr governor. Do better.
BTW, that 40k+ wey go to PDP is going back to APC for presidential election. Nobody sabi PDP presidential candidate. Plus more people will likely come out to vote. For yesterday, it's believed that many knew it's already settled whether they vote or not.
