Obi versus Soludo: Unnecessary political cannibalism, by Dele Sobowale
“I stand by my words” – Governor Soludo on Peter Obi leaving money for Anambra – Daily Post Nigeria.

Award Factories of Nigeria, AFN – 1
“Money makes everything legitimate; including bastards”.Jewish proverb. (VANGUARD BOOK OF QUOTATIONS p 163).

Thanks, IGP Abubakar: Toll gates have disappeared – 1
