With 333213 gap Tony Aninih should not wait for the remaining 9days before we start seeing his obituary poster flying allover d pages of news paper & media.
The will of the people has finally prevailed. Your performance as a governor and not the favour of God fathers; not even the party will attract votes to you. This has been demonstrated by Adams and Fashola saga. PDP cannot reap cassava from a cocoyam field!!
