In light of these concerns, I sincerely urge all stakeholders vested and interested on issues of political appointments in the Local Government Area to kindly direct their question to the protesters and did not have the blessing of all Ewu Leaders”.
“I seize this opportunity once again to tell our youths, my beloved brothers and sisters from EWU to be patient with our amiable Governor, Rt.
