Sanusi, I agree. However, the cat has already been let out of the bag, and now, the UDP has another obligation to vindicate themselves of the accusations and prove they are baseless simply because it speaks very much to their credibility. I am amazed that this is not apparent to the UDP and their supporters. It has far reaching implications but in Africa, we tend to assume that the electorate is not very intelligent so no noe bothers to be accountable to them. The UDP has consistently talked of accountability, and when a test of their own accountability has surfaced, what happens?
