“Not a single soul has been prosecuted, let alone jailed for the genocide in Southern Kaduna and you are blaming someone for preaching self defense? You are INSANE. Yes, INSANE”- Olufemi Korode, Twitter, 24th January 2017.

MMM are not smart. After President Buhari cleared Babachir Lawal what they should have done is immediately apply to him for clearance! After all, our President is the best clearing agent in Nigeria.
