Its
APC's fault according to PDP and its PDP's fault according to APC so
they can manipulate the elections. That's what we might hear from these 2
useless parties we have. If Nigerians would open up their mind they
would not even bother to vote as the elections are always a sham. Rarely
do you get a different side of the coin.
