“While we take exception to this cheap and disrespectful blackmail, we make bold to state that the wife of our dear Governor is a proud card carrying member of All Progressives Congress, APC with registration number, EB/BZR/11/04202; she is a great pillar of support to our Divine Mandate Administration and champion of  mobilization to the cause of APC in the State. Let it  be further reiterated that the elegant and superlative amazon of our dear State joined APC  with her husband as a response to the clarion call for South East to  reintegrate  into a party of national spread.
