It should be something that concern all of us… Let me ask us: do we want a representative or we want someone who keeps giving us N20,000 every week to cook soup? Can’t you give someone N20,000 to cook soup? Can’t you cook and invite people to come and eat. So, at the end of the day, anyhow you want to look at it, it is cheating, it is cheating!
