“This is to enable us cast our vote for those candidates we believe can take us out of this quagmire.
“Remember that as entertainers, we are usually the first casualties each time the economy goes down, therefore, we need to be very wise in our choice of candidates,” he said.
Duke noted that CIG was a non-partisan and non-denominational organization but a major stakeholder in the politics of Nigeria
