They therefore warned that failure to do so, they will ask the Obosi town crier to take his gong and go round the town to inform ndi Obosi on they were shortchanged by APGA and tell them where to vote come 2019.
They are UNHAPPY that APGA disqualified Alex Ubaka and Tobenna Iweka from participating from today’s House of Assembly primaries.
