“I want to reiterate my earlier promise that I will adopt the entire state as my constituency.

“I am also committed to upholding fairness, equity and justice in handling the affairs of the state,” Ihedioha promised.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
