Idahosa warned the people that the current electioneering had created an avenue for the self-serving politicians, desperate for power, to hoodwink the people with unrealistic promised shed of the general election.
“They are at it again, making promises they know very well they won’t keep, they do this intentionally just to secure your votes only to abandon you to your fate.
“Please, this time around, don’t allow them to deceive you again. Let them know you are a lot wiser,” he pleaded.
