I HAD the opportunity to read the piece titled, “Anambra: The limits of propaganda”, written by Mr. Chudi Offodile, a politician of the PDP stock, though a legal practitioner by training, from Anambra State.

Edo people in the last presidential election voted massively for him for obvious reasons, even though Edo State is predominantly Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN).
