We thank the President and Commander in chief of the Nigerian Federation for having the same streams of consciousness with Prince Frank Ukonga- the SDMP Presidential Hopeful in the 2015 polls and we are indeed honestly advicing the President never to be deterred by this national adversity but to take the bull by its horns , with new determination, focus and handwork as history becone's at the President...
