For the price of 40k, we saw alot of Igbos singing praises, showering the Governor with ‘Happy birthday and He is a good man’ chanting. some were seen writing eulogizing essays but many surprisingly stood their grounds and spoke their mind without allowing money to influence them, as majority believe that the money was allegedly ill-gotten.

The Admin was seen filtering comments, removing comments that wasn’t extolling the governor, as people dropped new comments accusing her of deleting their older comments were they lambasted the Governor.
