Governor Adesina sent someone to invite me, I was introduced to him that I came from Igboho and they said they are heading for Igboho too for their campaign. I narrated the incident to him how the MOPOL beat the elderly man who was on the queue since 3a.m. I told him if they had beaten me I would not bother but this elderly man.
