“Even though we are transiting from one government to another and even though it id from sane political party, if there are issues that need to be ironed out and in ironing out those issues, she and her committee.
“If they find out what will help Anambra move forward, I believe she has this courage to put it on the table and have it ironef out, without minding if anyone would be offendef or not.”
