The controversial publication, had explained that the said vote-of-confidence, purportedly passed on Captain Asetuku, was based on, “uncommon developmental strides and demonstration of leadership capacity in carrying everyone along in the art of governance.”

The report, further stated inter-alia: “We are passing a vote of confidence on Capt.

Through his rare demonstration of sincerity of purpose and commitment to human welfare development, he has made himself the most sought-after political bride of Warri North as we have never had it so good.
