  1. What about the rest of the provinces? This is part of the reason PF lost elections because they were busy trying to build a dynasty rather than develop the entire nation. Those who cry foul know deep down in their hearts that roles can get reversed when you lose power. With that in mind they turn to misinformation and in some instances, provocation and incitement.
