Will Students Vote For APC? - Fredrick Leonard

Nollywood actor, Fredrick Leonard, has wondered if students, who have been at home for almost six months due to the ongoing strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will still vote for the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, in the 2023 election.

He raised this question in a post via his Instagram on Tuesday.

He asked, “Will any of these students currently on ASUU strike totally ignored by this government still vote for the current political party in the coming elections?

“I'm just asking respectfully. Or will they forget? Will they be brainwashed? Will they be bought because of the hunger deliberately created in the land? Or will they be brave enough to try something new and different, for a new and different result. I'm just asking.”

She became infuriated and I reached out to a stabilizer and a box iron and used it to hit her abdominal part and she started to bleed. I hit her again and she screamed. I used her jean trousers and strangled her and she became lifeless....he said

While delivering judgment, the judge said the prosecution has proved beyond doubt the case of rape and murder against Akpan and found him guilty. The judge, however, discharged and acquitted the father and sister of Mr Akpan, who were the 2nd and the 3rd defendants in the case.
