It seems the APC is bent on politicising all sector of the Nigeria state by giving zero tolerance to oppositions, whether qualified or not. we have being seeing it in the Federal level and now it has moved to the state starting from Kogi. if we are not mindful enough, its going to rain down on us. Que sera sera
