We’ve collected Facebook comments and messages, reports to info@naij.com, and here’s what our fellow countrymen have to say about their home states.

Zion Shebut: I am from Plateau. We are dying from hunger, our parents are not paid and the man is busy building. He has killed education, in four years my state university have change three VCs. Strikes are all over, and he is saying ”no work, no pay”.  What a heartless man. We need change in Plateau. Now he wants his nephew to succeed him.[sic]

T.A Orji- Abia
Ayo Fayose- Ekiti
And all of them are PDP

Keep deceiving yourself.. Ekiti people celebrate their choice everyday especially when they look at the pathetic condition of states around them.. Ask any Osun, Kwara Kogi and Ogun state workers.. They will tell you what APC stands for..

You can write anything you like to suit your imagination, we know the differences between propaganda and sincerity..

Niger state governor is first on d list of worst
