My father is a progressive minded politician. He has been on the stage for over 40 years. My people supported me in 2023 and ask us to return home.
I believe All Progressives Congress is the right party.
The ideology aligns with my progressive philosophy. What happened in 2027 was a child of necessity. I am back home now” Manko explained.
