He added: “We were camped for seven weeks.
“We trekked long distances every day while MC Oluomo followed us in his car.
“In the end, we were abandoned.
“We finished the work and no dime was given to us.
“Is it good?
“It was MC who called us.
“MC promised me and Alapini.
“He asked us to demand for whatever we wanted.
“We did but we got nothing up till date.
“He took us to where we lodged to campaign for the president.
“He promised to give us N1.5 million each.
“Whoever is behind these misdeeds will not prosper.
“I know they will still come to us by 2027 and we are waiting for them.”
