India's mammoth elections are now under way, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi widely expected to win a third term. Since coming to power in 2014, Modi has expanded subsidy programmes for the poor and women. These programmes include measures like equipping homes with butane gas by offering free cylinders or distributing free food rations. Some 60 percent of the population benefits from Modi’s food distribution scheme, which he has pledged to renew for another five years. Another success story is the nationwide rollout of digital payment services. Meanwhile, critics say the prime minister is eroding democracy by targeting opposition parties and controlling the media.

So what sorts of leadership are we expecting from this cheap blackmailer…?@ asuquo Archibong
An incident happened in Florida some years ago in a close relative residence that shows how cheap is Mr Asuquo Archibong?..He needs a shrink’ as the Americans will say to check his mental status..
If he’s the same person I have known for ages he’s surely not the kind of personality for Naija leadership.QED.
Please ask him if he has read the Nigeria Constitution on his eligibility as a man of dual citizenship? He knows as an intelligent lawyer cum an evil genius that he’s ineligible for the position of the president of our great nation.
Remember Asuquo Archibong, those who we want for such position must come clean of their past no matter the credentials they may possess…He’s morally bankrupt & a demon in disguise..
Yes … This man needs an expose’.
We will review and take appropriate action.
