Please Chilimaa, do not eat food in Benin, APM wanted to Marry there and he still has friends who can finish you. My is an advice, do not say we did not warn you. They do not want you in DPP. A tuple wants to be vice president and eventually take over from APM after something happens to him. His father will arrange something to happen to APM as he did with BINGU

From all these years, why is APM and his strategists trying to be nice today. Something fishy here.
