“The outgoing governor is talking more about violence, you must have watched him on Channels television where he said he will meet violence for violence and we are saying no, there will be no violence. It will be like celebrating Christmas or you are going to do a plebiscite between MoU, which Edo people have now codenamed.
“Memorandum of Underdevelopment and a governor with a clear simple agenda, which is the product of his brain. We have just found out that MoUs are only celebrated by consultants. They are not celebrated by real people,” he said.
