  Posted by allcitynews.ng  A pro-democracy group, Ebonyi Citizens for Change, has condemned the attacks on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike by Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State. The organisation described the attacks as unwarranted and an attempt to unnecessarily drag the Minister into Ebonyi politics.

His Director-General is none other than one of the biggest names in the Taraba political firmament, Hon. Danladi Tijos Baido. A household name in ...
