Omoyele Sowore: Real Transformation Is Not Social Media Sensationalism

Abia State, Opinion, PoliticsAbia State, Alex Otti, Opinion, Politics

This is the most ridiculous and dishonourable comment to make. The questions begging for answers are: You vilified Alex Otti, called him a serial loser and predicted that he was going to lose, so at what point did you work for him? Why were you aggrieved with your Party when you boasted and shouted that your party was getting everything right? If you betrayed your Party because you were aggrieved, does that not portray you as a Traitor? Why should Otti trust and embrace a Betrayer and a Traitor? Listen very well, no Betrayer worked for Otti and no Traitor…
