“If he's a Peter Obi supporter I'm very sure these hypocrites will support his act. Nigerian citizens are a problem on their own. In other for any government to rule successfully It's very important to work on Nigerian first, I mean a kind of deliverance or something”.

“crimes aren't like civil wrongs you can resolve with an apology. Once you commit the offense, the law must take its cause. Your only saving grace would be if the authority saddled with the responsibility of prosecuting the offense declined to do so. In Seun's case, Police dey vex”.

Someone needs to make this make sense, please”.
