She expressed dismay over the fucate promises of the APC and assured that the days of the devilish party are numbered.

The convener of the sit- meet-gist, Mr John Asanga praised the standard bearers for their magnanimity and down to earth attitude portrayed by them for halting to sit with the group.

"I want to thank the principal of MkpoikanaAbasi and Akwa Odudu Abasi campaign groups for stopping by to meet with grassrooters after the burial of our late leader, defiance that you came to this community to mourn with the deceased family, I want to intimate you that we will support you and the performing Governor of our dear state whose tenure has brought about industries and peace profound" he said.
