“How do you expect Igala people to endorse a governor who styles himself as the white lion?

“Who goes about boasting that the average Igala man’s wife can be purchased for as little as N6,000 or a governor who brutally and senselessly boasts that no Igala man can contest the governorship with him.

“A governor who cannot fix the streets of Lokoja, the state capital?”
