Wetin concern me..

Me that doesn't even know the First Lady of my dear Edo State..

I just happened to know the deputy governor not long ago..

I'd be surprised if Fayemi doesn't caution her this time around.... She was one of the factors that costed him the 2014 polls.... Then add that she's way older than Fayemi . .

Interesting

Good

If Fayose actually wants Eleka to be Governor, this is the best time to do it. Since he is unhealthy and incapacitated at the moment, he should resign, let Eleka become a substantive Governor, by so doing, Eleka will rule for about 60 days as Governor before Fayemi comes in.


Will Eleka forget Fayose for this? No. This will also make Eleka enjoy all the benefits of a Former Governor.

What do you think ? �

Sense no go kill me, walahi. Make I ��‍♂��‍♂��‍♂��‍♂��‍♂��‍♂��‍♂run comot before Fayose say na me wunjorr him for neck!!!
