“When they took office, they were given N25 million, but when they leave, they are handing over N300 million in cash,” APGA is meticulously designed to last.
“We are going to engrave your names on a plaque of marble and have them etched on the national and regional Headquarters of APGA so we will never forget. That action is ‘un-Nigerian’,” Governor Soludo stressed.
