“I just got off the phone with Governor Wike and he confirmed to me that 100s of policemen acting under the instructions of the IG are preventing him from leaving his hotel room and are ordering him to leave Benin. He insists that he is going nowhere so long as the APC Campaign
Leaders remain in the state. Why do we even bother with elections when at the end of the day, the success or failure thereof boils down to the will of security agencies and not the people. Billions spent and people can’t decide who governs them.”

“In 2013 when El-Rufai was detained by the DSS in Anambra,Deji mocked him by saying he should’ve stayed in the north because he’s not Igbo. Today, he’s whingeing because same treatment has been given to Wike.
Never,ever defend or endorse impunity for the table might change later.”
