“We wish to give yet another poser as we conclude: Is it not true that some functionaries of the Lalong Government, his relations and Party Officials are under investigation by the EFCC?

“While we don’t desire to join issues with the Governor’s Director of Press Affairs, we wish to advise that he understands and have a grasp of issues in contention before rushing to the media.

“For instance we had thought he would give the exact expenses on the Governor’s foreign trips to counter the figures given by the Chairman rather than embark on his usual attack.

“Finally, we call on the APC –led administration to concentrate on providing democratic dividends rather than embark on fruitless adventurism”.
