“Let us support our son and brother, Bro. Felix Obuah who is the State Chairman of PDP he is a complete gentleman and a great philanthropist, he has worked relentlessly for the good of our people, we all know that this mudslinging against him is not true, he cannot be involved in such gruesome acts, like kidnapping, raping of women and beheading it is not possible, it is the handiwork of political opponents we know that the truth will always prevail in the long run” Dr. Banigo stressed.
In her address the President of the ONELGA Women Forum Dr. (Mrs) Grace Akolokwu informed the Deputy Governor that the Forum is a non partisan, non profiting making umbrella organization of all women either born or married in the LGA that is supportive of good governance and development.
