both the spirit and otherwise. We shall do everything humanly possible
to see happiness at the end of this journey. I shall not disappoint
you and I must rely on your advice and goodwill to enable me gets
there…"

the PDP as a party saying, the many challenges confronting the ruling
APC requires intervention of the PDP where capable hands like him
abounds to restoring the lost glory in the land.
