Let me use this opportunity to respect our dear president; I spoke to the southeast people. I spoke to those who embezzled the council without knowledge, I spoke to those who did not understand what was happening in the southeast, I spoke to those who had occupied social media – I had told them, the country of Ebonyi, we were not people who were not obedient.
