and other notable dignitaries from all walks of life.
Dr. Jennifer
Douglas Abubakar and Mrs. Margret Obi, who addressed the mammoth crowd

Earlier,
Diplomatic OBJ of former Wazobia FM radio station had used the medium to inform
the gathering how the APC government mounted pressure on his management
(Wazobia) to terminate his appointment with the latter because of his criticism
of the obnoxious policy of the government directed at the suffering masses and
because of that the management directed him to proceed on three months leave
when he is not due for any leave so as to ensure that, by the time the three
months leave will expire by december, the Ekiti and Osun states elections would
have been held so that all anomalies occurred at the elections would not be
reported and based on that he decided to resign from the organization.
Happily, he
informed the gathering that before the 2019 general elections commences, he and
his crew has paid certain amount of money to secure three radio stations where
they will be able to monitor the elections and report the exact situations to
the people.
