"At this point, I didn’t know the VIP embedded in the convoy. Initially I thought it was a governor as the car that hit me bore a number plate that starts with RSH. My interest in following the convoy was to lodge a complaint about the murderous driver and get my car repaired.
"The convoy drove deep into Asokoro, into TY Danjuma Road and then entered one of the mansions, at the entrance of which were several banners of Atiku-Okowa campaign. I drove into the compound with the convoy as I had my hazard light on like other vehicles in the convoy. My adventure was certainly getting interesting.

The APC presidential campaign council had warned Nigerians to be wary of the 'sugar-coated' promises of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.

In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Sunday, December 11, Bayo Onanuga, director of media and publicity of the APC presidential campaign council stated that Atiku's promises are hinged on desperation to gain power at all cost.

According to him, the PDP should be eternally shameful about its appalling record in governance between 1999-2015, adding that its attempt to re-write history won't work.
