He said: “In 2019 we played wrong politics like we did in 2015, where we decided to look the other way, forgetting that the main thing comes from the national, so making wild claims and shouting about the leadership of the National Assembly now is a big problem because what did we being to the table in the first place.
''The state governor Rochas Okorocha has been shouting that we should not make the same mistake we made in 2015 so that we can be part of the system in 2019.
