I admit some of our worker might have committed mistakes but it is not right to blame the national workers always. There are people like Late Illoihangbe who think and work and think for nation and people. May be farmers, teachers, social workers, etc.. all have responsibilities to think and work for our people and nation. If there is any mistake from the national workers then it is the duty of all concerned to instruct before committing. Is there anybody who is like Illoihangbe.” The CAO Challenged
