Vote Okpebholo To Birth A Functional State, VP Shettima Urges Edo Citizens

The Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has implored the people of Edo State to vote for the candidate of All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg), Senator @m_akpakomiza, in next Saturday's Governorship election in the state in order to birth a state that is functional.
According to him, Edo State, at the moment, needs a strategic thinker, a builder, and a man of the people who can rally the people of the State.
@DangoteGroup If price won't change even when we have a @AlikoDangote Refinery in Nigeria then the conspiracy is what makes the price what it is, not even actual reality.
But for the perpetual pains and sufferings, some people should find a little mercy in their soul for Nigeria to breathe.
@DangoteGroup should build his own Filling Stations and start selling fuel from his Refinery. He can even buy over existing stations. NNPC can decide to compete by importing fuel and selling above his own price, let us see who Nigerians would patronize.
@NLCHeadquarters NLC is not asking for the details. They just threaten to go on strike. Strike for what exactly?
The law that gave Civil Servants leverage to indulge in politics is the reason for all of these.
@NLCHeadquarters President was arrested by DSS on allegations that bothers on National Security.
Then the union is threatening to go on strike? It appears every institution in this country is just a political party for self protection.
