Opposition Quote by Rossonero Oladapo-Olawole
“The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism and governance but over the years we are having opposition government not opposition party; and that's part of where the problem lies. By May 29 the ruling will be the opposition, by then I will be expecting a matured opposition party for a better Nigeria and I will be glad to be part of the opposition.”
