Dapo Abiodun Linked To Vote Buying Video + Atiku Makes U-Turn On Naira Redesign- Trending With Ojy Okpe

Reactions have trailed the meeting between governors, stakeholders and the presidential candidate of the All progressives congress Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday, in which the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu affirmed that the ruling party stands with the position of its governors on the naira redesign.
