The grassroots politician who was speaking during a visit to the palace of the Ndidem of the Quas, Grand Patriarch of Ejaiham Nation and Paramount Ruler Calabar Municipality, HRM Ndidem Eta B. Eteta III, lamented the neglect traditional rulers are facing and how they have been relegated to the background while promising to review laws affecting the welfare of the traditional institution in the state, if elected a lawmaker.
Agbo added that, the current set of lawmakers are only interested in revenue collection which has only impoverished and taken away so much from the people.
