Dr drew however is not convinced. In fact during a recent episode of Freedom Fm’s “Issues” Dr Drew explained that, ” it’s only when Eddy recused himself, and Eddy himself said in court and the court records would show that he was lawyers for PAM candidates dealing with election matters so that information we had to go look dig deep and study otherwise you could have had somebody favoring PAM perceived to be without judging him…perceived to be bias without us knowing had we not done our diligence and researched the information.”
He added, “I am saying that whoever is to make any decision with my case would make sure that they are not friends with any leaders of political parties, that they don’t party with any leaders of any political parties, that they don’t have that social [connection], that they don’t be on platforms of leaders of any political parties.”
Dr drew remains resolute Constituency 8 was stolen in the last elections.
