We're now stuck in another dilemma. We must not forget that we are dealing with the people who do not want to change the way things are, the 'crooks', however,everybody deserves a chance, this is an opportunity to ascertain if this is part of the new plot to hold on to power and unleash further terror on already devastated nation.
Mixed reactions have greeted the new ruling APC party's committee report on restructuring, saying the recommendations will not address real issues facing the country. The leading opposition PDP party described the document as a sham and deadly trap.
