yesterday.

PDP on the chessboard of politics, advising the party to give
the said money to another widow instead.

this appointment and I wish to state that I have forgiven him
from the bottom of my heart. And for the money promised
me by PDP let them give it to other widows. I do not need
the money".

promised to support the government policies and
programmes in the state.
