“The kind of politics in Nigeria is disastrous. The political structure is criminal. It’s ambiguous that people clamouring for change are the ones labeling those ready to work for such change.
"APC and PDP are known for crass insensitivity. They are coming with similar baggage that has matured in our fraudulent political system."
