THERE'S A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1. END POLICE BRUTALITY AND 2. END SARS.
1. Thanks to @vanguardngrnews, from the image she shared on her Instagram Story, we now know that @zmbuhari lent her voice to what ALL NIGERIANS want- #EndPoliceBrutality
That's what all Nigerians want
2. There's a great difference between #EndPoliceBrutality and End Sars. One is by Nigerians, the other is by 1. #DumbKids 2. Those who have no clear understanding of what the root issues are and 3. Those who are still angry that the NLC called off their strike.
3. WE ALL WANT THE POLICE BRUTALITY TO STOP.
For me, even parading alleged criminals on National TV and making them to confess, is part of that brutality that needs to stop, especially when two or more years down the line, such people have not been charged nor convicted.
4. We must separate the end SARS childishness from #EndPoliceBrutality Campaign. Ending Police Brutality comes with reforms. This is why reforms are needed to reposition SARS to serve it's purposes more efficiently and more effectively to the pride of the nation. @PoliceNG
5. The reforms are not just about laying out the rules guiding SARS. No, its about ENFORCEMENT. The public needs to SEE that their reports and complaints are taken seriously and acted upon, including reports about those who slap or kill police officers too. @PoliceNG
6. If we end SARS and create something else, it will metamorphose into another SARS, just as we have today- still with some bad eggs.
It's PEOPLE that need to be held accountable.
There's an urgent need for all Nigerians to look inwards. @PoliceNG
7. When erring officers are seen to be held accountable and punished according to the laws, public confidence will return. Citizens would embrace them. Thats how national institutions are STRENGTHENED. Nations strengthen their institutions. They don't kill them. @PoliceNG
8. We cannot end the use of water because someone drowned nor can we chop off a hand because it lost a finger nail.
Let's come together to push for a positive reform that will and can #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY.
That's where I stand.
Thanks for retweeting!

BETWEEN 2008-2015 1. The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (@officialEFCC),
has uncovered a staggering
amount of ₦35 billion fraud
perpetuated in an attempt to
purchase arms and ammunition
(Under the watch of the Usual Suspects, 2008-2015
2. LEADERSHIP gathered that the Ministry of Defence obtained a ₦35 billion loan bond from d Debt Management Office for the provision of logistics items and equipment for the Nigerian contingencies in peacekeeping missions from which contracts were awarded and monies disbursed.
3. The major players in this alleged conspiracy and diversion of public funds include d contractor, Donald Peterson & his companies Richfield Technologies Ltd, VTB Export & Import Ltd, Freerose Ltd and Africa Integrated Services Ltd.

STATEMENT BY @MBuhari AT THE 1ST RUSSIA-AFRICA SUMMIT
PROTOCOLS: 1. I'm delighted to participate in this 1st & historic Russia-Africa Summit. I thank our chief host, HE Vladimir Putin, of d Russia Federation for this important initiative & for the warm hospitality accorded to us.
2. I also commend His Excellency, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi of the Arab Republic of Egypt, for his visionary and collaborative leadership of the African Union.
3. Today, we live in a world where collective peace and prosperity can only be achieved through collaboration and mutual respect. This reality was aptly captured by the Late Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior when he said and I quote:
1. THE REVOLUTION THEY REFUSED TO DO WHEN IT WAS NEEDED MOST.
When militants were busy bombing and destroying oil installations and then polluting the entire Niger Delta environment between the year 1997 to 2016, where was your revolution?
2. When the same militants began kidnapping foreign investors in the year 2000 and later resorted to kidnapping Nigerian citizens for ransom after the foreigners ran away, where was your revolution?
3. When opposition politicians were being specifically targeted for assassination between the year 2002 to 2014, #WhereWasYourRevolution?
1. PRES @MBUHARI’S BROADCAST TO THE NATION
Fellow Citizens
On Feb 16, 2019 you will, once again, be called upon to choose d leaders who will pilot d affairs of our great nation for d next 4 yrs
This is a constitutional right which should be freely exercised by all eligible voters
2. I wish therefore to start by assuring all Nigerians that this Government will do its very best to ensure that the 2019 elections take place in a secure and peaceful atmosphere.
3. It was indeed such free, fair and peaceful elections that made it possible for our Government to emerge, despite the fact that we were contesting against a long-standing incumbent party.
1. The intelligence of some Nigerians has been insulted by the outrageous lies that @Mbuhari has a double, having died in the UK. This evil is being sponsored by one of PDP's Looters, the drug infested, crack head, @realffk. He is calling Nigerians, gullible. Nigerians are not!
2. Recall, at the start of the @Mbuhari/@ProfOsinbajo administration, @realffk, mounted a campaign of targeted calumny on the persons and offices of the President @MBuhari and Vice President, @ProfOsinbajo. He has been manufacturing and churning out lies upon lies.
3. At a Press Conference on 27th February, 2015, he posited, adamantly, that an oath was administered on @ProfOsinbajo, to force him to resign as the Vice President after the election to make way for Asiwaju Tinubu to replace him
That was nearly 4 years ago. But the lies continue
