‘facebooking’ to drum-up support for elrufai during the campaigning period, I know to a full extent that elrufai's modus operandi is quite unfathomable. At the voting point I had an internal dialogue with my humble self, to vote for him or not to vote at all, for the reason that I can't vote for PDP.
