What an irony! When the immediate past Governor, Uduaghan, attempted the same thing against him, the party members, leaders and elders rose up to oppose the Governor in his support. How now is he trying to do exactly the same thing? How can one man, no matter his position, want to be the only decider in spite of the hundreds of thousands…
