Values of democracy indeed!!! Dasuki still in detention inspite of court order. Jones Abiri still held incommunicado despite court order. Is complying with rule of law not a value of democracy?— Timothy (@eekabadcrane) July 24, 2018

I need good Nigerian people to stand up and support this Buhari government. If we fold our arm, siddon look and allow these bunch of PDP corrupt elements to come to power in 2019, then the future is bleak for Nigeria.— OLUWASEYI ADEKOYA (@SeyiBenggie) July 24, 2018

Fallacy, we are not fools not to see the show of dictatorship tendency by this government. The World is watching.— Frank Omosigho (@FrankOmosigho) July 24, 2018
Mr. President, with all due respect, stop giving 'kids' the opportunity to insult you. If not for anything, elders are known for their wisdom, but you are lacking in this area.— Simbi (@DonSim0001) July 24, 2018
It is not APC you are presiding over but Nigeria and everything she stands for. Do the right thing!
