The way he dumped the video for you people to watch him shows how laid back our system is. It’s quiet a pity. That’s why most of these corrupt politicians in Nigeria don’t want President Peter Obi to win cos if he wins power goes back to the Masses. And you know what it means? Any Corrupt Politican that does not do the needful it’s entitled to public beating”
