2023.

strides of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is enough for
the party to retain the presidential seat in

on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics

legislative houses and the governorship across the country.”

“I said it long ago, not today when the party (PDP) was going
through some challenges; I did say that there are 10 governors from

joined us, nine to go. Just mark my words; I don’t lie, I will
never lie, and I will never deceive anybody,” the Kogi governor
