@NGRPresident

In that singular act of siding with his Minister of Communication, @NGRPresident @MBuhari actually conveyed a message on his view of terrorism. Nigerians now know that his views align with that of his Minister.
It is now left to Nigerians to convey whether we agree with them✍🏾

@NGRPresident

I do not agree with @NGRPresident @MBuhari and his Minister of Communication that any citizen can get away with such bloodcurdling rhetorics the latter made through the years. Worse that one who swore an oath to public office said and did the things @NigeriaGov has waved off.

Yesterday’s action by our President was an anti-climax. He has persisted in badly managing our country’s diversity.

Nigeria cannot at this stage avoid a genuine conversation about its Future.

The signs are all too obvious for all to see and act on.

A Thread.

As a Believer, one of the greatest tests of my life is granting real forgiveness to all those who because of Politics twisted my deep agony and agitation for rescue of ChibokGirls into all forms of wicked accusations I have had to bear since 2014. And yet I must.

@BBCAfrica

In this 2018 tweet, I was recounting how the @BBCAfrica handle broke the news of the abduction of ChibokGirls on the 15th and my immediate reaction was to ask them if the news was “verified”.
I mean, it was hard to imagine hundreds of schoolchildren being abducted. It was hard.

@BBCAfrica

My follow-on tweet after asking @BBCAfrica if their breaking news on the abduction was verified is captured below. It sank in my mind that it was BBC News and that by the quality control standards, it was near impossible to break unverified news. Ah. My eyes rolled down tears.

@MBuhari

.@MBuhari and those aiding him to avoid the truth of his collosal failure to lead this country well at this time, are doing themselves the worst damage.

Is the short term gain of continuing to preside over a collapsing country really worth it?

I think not. #KankaraStudents

@MBuhari

It is unnatural for a leader of a country and people to be as unperturbed like @MBuhari obviously appears in the face of the tragedies that daily befall citizens.

It is abnormal.
Hence my call for an independent medical evaluation of the state of his mind and body immediately.

@MBuhari

I have no doubt in my mind that my call for independent medical evaluation of our President, @MBuhari is the best thing for him and the country.

Further delays do neither the President nor this country and our people any good at all.

Remember the families of #KankaraStudents.

@NGRPresident

Was it not in this country that rising to take a strong stand that young women who went to school and were abducted deserved the justice of rescue by their @NGRPresident and @NigeriaGov , earned one attacks, falsehoods, impugning, arrest and detention? It’s their way. Just stand!

They lied to you that reason I, your fellow citizen was determined for #JusticeOfRescue to be given abducted children is “she wants to be minister”, “she’s looking for attention”, “she was hired as a consultant to embarrass xyz “, “ she is angry at xyz”.
You foolishly believed.

@NigeriaGov

The total lack of cognitive ability or unwillingness to connect-the-dots and see through all the lies that the two administrations of the @NigeriaGov and their allies have hurled at your fellow citizens for daring to #SpeakUp for #ChibokGirls will remain a wonder to me. Na waa.

@MBuhari

While other nations are trying to figure out their Post-COVID19 priorities and strategies, what do you think our own country is doing?

Well, @MBuhari is busy with repressive acts against his young citizens who merely asked to be allowed to live by the @PoliceNG he supervises.👎🏾

@HQNigerianArmy

We are a constitutional democracy and actions must be anchored on the Rule of Law.

Miss Odele’s passport cannot be seized by NAIA Comptroller of Immigration on the “order” of @HQNigerianArmy without an Order granted by a court of the land.
We are not a military state, @MBuhari .

@Mochievous

I’m grateful to Femi Falana, SAN for always being available to take on cases of gross injustice against our citizens.

Miss Modupe Odele @Mochievous is not standing alone. Millions of sensible Nigerians are standing with her.

She and her peers gave Hope on what Nigeria could be.
