Just Imagine.This Man Has Trivialized Governance So Much That One Would Begin To Wonder What Governance Is All About.Is Is About Providing Infrastructural Development Etc. Or About Telling Traditional Which Language They Must Speak?And Who Earth Informed Him That What Makes Traditional Rulers Great Is Their Ability To Relegate English To The Back Yard And Speak Vernacular At Formal Gatherings?Very Hopeless.Un-Igbo-ishly hopeless!

APC = backwardness. See the state of the nation before they took over power,see the state of the nation today.. Somebody should tell rochas that the world is getting advanced and civilized by day. Lost priorities.
