He maintained that the State remained a PDP state, and would gain nothing destroying the opposition party billboards talk more of their own presidential candidate’s billboard.
“A lot of us sit and complain  Oh nothing is coming, what do you want to come? God says no food for lazy man.

And for me it is ingenuity, I have told my people instead of sitting down and doing nothing,destroy something and start fixing it back. So the guy has no work no attention Ebonyi State is united under Divine Mandate.
He destroyed the billboards because he was not getting enough attention…so his destroying it is  ingenuity because I have told my people if you have no work, spoil something and start repairing it because you must be doing something.
“So it is act of ingenuity and evil genius that the guy has to destroy the billboard of Atiku in the State.
Ebonyi people can not destroy the billboard of Atiku in the State or that of President Buhari because we are law abiding.
