He wrote:The sieges and any use of force on@BukolaSaraki, the legitimate Senate President or Ike Ekweradu, his Deputy are an act of desperation.#IStandWithSaraki and I urge you to do the same. If we allow what is currently being done to them to stand, we are in full blown dictatorship!—

He wrote:What is happening to@bukolasarakiis an act of tyranny by a leadership afraid of its own shadows. You cant lay seige on the nation’s number 3 citizen as if he is a common criminal just to frustrate the suspected defection of people whose defection from PDP you celebrated!— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri)July 24, 2018
