“@Shewn also tweeted “We will enjoy and still vote them. If a presidential ticket can come up with this innovative idea for their campaign then I am sure they have more to offer than the normal politicians who eat roasted corn on the street with d masses”.
“The program has been designed to benefit Nigerians, although, several persons are of the opinion that it was a strategy for vote buying, while others understand that the free transportation scheme was instead a strategy adopted to reach out to the grassroots but will appreciate if the scheme can be extended beyond elections since Solving a critical need which affects every Nigerian household.
