Andy said: “There has not been any development here because the leaders are not sincere. Now they are trying to stop you from supporting the YPP. Collect what they give you, because it is the collective money of everyone. Leave the ship that is sinking and embrace the YPP”, the state YPP boss stated.
He later handed over party cards to the Chapter Chairman “ for other decampees who will join us in the coming days”, the Chairman added.
