Kassim Afegbua Those who are aspiring to lead the country should learn strategic communication and campaign initiatives from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives’ Congress-APC.

For monies that were not paid to Niger Delta States, rom 1999 – the 13% derivation money that was not paid, Mr. President approved and paid all of us in the Niger Delta States. And for me, it would be unfair not to tell the people. It is not money from FAAC. It is money paid…
