  3. If it had been Gej dat did dis sacking of all his cabinets members and aides, reasons would have flooded the media in a split seconds. Amechi would have danced naked carrying placard to criticise the President. My happiness is dat pple are beginning to see dat d so-called new PDP wit a universal rogue like Atiku are only fighting for their own selfish interest and non of their conditions wil add one penny to an average citizen of dis country.

  4. The number, though not peculiar to Oyo state, is unbearable. They will have assistants, drivers, domestic staff, etc. The governor can set example by reducing this number so that more money could be available for projects that will touch the poor masses.
