The Reverend Eastwood Anaba, the Founder of Fountain Gate Chapel at the weekend called on politicians to use the power of governance to deal with rural/urban migration.

“I detest politicians and governments who fail to improve the lot of the rural people after being voted to power, any government or elected officers who neglect the rural and deprived people is not worth voting for again,” Rev.
