It’s so unfortunate Peter Obi couldn’t manage the crisis in the Labour Party before he fled to the ADP to join the bad politicians. We would have shown our strong support for PO if he was still in the Labour Party. It’s so s@d
stnweme said:
"If the church members like they should allow anybody use their heads. They should make their own decisions not because the pastor said so. No one is a saint in politics, but sometimes you've to choose the better persons who's shown to be more capable, compassionate and ready."
fabz_rrr commented:
"Peter Obi really fumbled with the Labour Party jackpot and that was the start of his political downfall. He went from leaving LP to joining the same political crooks he once criticized. He is a liar and never owned up to his words, hence he can never be my president."

"Anything to unseat the present government is acceptable. You can't fight this government with a compromised labour party."
