What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Agbese stated this on Monday in a telephone interview with our correspondent while reacting to a publication.

The report stated that the sum of N1m was deducted from APC lawmakers’ allowances without their consent in support of Okpebholo and his then-running mate, Dennis Idahosa, a member of the House of Representatives.
