He said: “Any politician who sponsor people to kill others so that they can enter political office, they will never enjoy that office.”

“I pray that Biafra and all those agitations will crumble in 2019 I am not PDP, APC or APGA. I am for every Nigerian. Nigerians will reject bad leaders in 2019”.

Uche attacked the nation’s politicians as being greedy lots.
