For the price of 40k, we saw alot of Igbos singing praises, showering the Governor with ‘Happy birthday and He is a good man’ chanting.
some were seen writing eulogizing essays but many surprisingly stood
their grounds and spoke their mind without allowing money to influence
them, as majority believe that the money was allegedly ill-gotten.
The
Admin was seen filtering comments, removing comments that wasn’t
extolling the governor, as people dropped new comments accusing her of
deleting their older comments were they lambasted the Governor.
