Soludo desecrating APGA as a vehicle which got him into government House. Importing thugs in Anambra, empowering urchins everywhere in Anambra. To think that I campaigned for this fool all the way from UK to Anambra saddens me. Enjoy the few years left for u cos we are definitely sending home by 2026. Useless Professor!
