He further stated; “Am happy that you have seen the light, decided to abandon the darkness and work with the governor who has done very well for the people of Gwer East, continue to mobilise others as the journey ahead is longer than the one behind. We are all going to the same markets with members of the ruling party, the skyrocketing inflation doesn’t spare anyone. By the grace of God, PDP must takeover Nigeria in 2023”.
