One and a half million tricycles distributed across the country or 25½ tricycles for selected APC women leaders in selected states?? Jagaban2012: seunmsg:In other words, if I'm in charge of a scheme like this and I decide to gift them to my friends and family members, it's OK as long as those people are Nigerians?? 64 Likes 4 Shares |

Nice one. Must they put their picture on everything ? One of our problem in this country is people let politicians feel like they are doing them favour or like the resources used in providing things for the masses is from their salary ( pocket ). Let these people know they are there to serve and stop hailing them. All they do is their responsibility 14 Likes 1 Share |

RenaissanceGuy: APC women are also Nigerians. If it truly gets to them, it’s commendable. However, I’m not a fan of schemes like this. It comes with too much corruption and it hardly alleviates any poverty. 4 Likes |
