The pain in the NPP camp must be real — after all, when you’re used to family and friends holding key positions, a little accountability must feel like a full-blown disaster. Tough times indeed!me”.
Another stated, “I’m laughing like killer😂😂😂. His father told my colleagues who were highly qualified than his son, this guy, that there were no jobs but in just two months he got his son and his other children jobs”.
