Akeredolu just woke up from his slumber.

Despite few shortcomings in this election, politicians now know that if you don't work you will be rejected, and they are doing everything to win the people to their side by working. Plus and minus, our democracy is improving.

Though this can't be said of some regions who vote on hate and returned a non-working government because it's running on the platform of a particular party.

Las las we all will be fine.
