What is the course – bad governance?
“How do we change that? Go get your PVC. Go out there and sensitize people, let them come out enmasse.
“All these ASUU strikes that we see, unemployment, banditry and what have you are all due to bad governance. How do you change bad governance? It is to use your votes and act now”, he said.
He added, “You have to go out there, get people informed, let them come out and get their PVCs so that we vote out this senseless government that has no direction.
“What they are thinking of is that come 2023, they will come and buy you off and continue to labour you, leave you at home, close down your schools and allow you to enter banditry. Its up to you now to go out there and get your PVC”, he said.
Speaking also, the National Woman Leader, Prof Stella Effa-Attoe said that
