Have I really crossed the line?
I ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of "crossing the line" and has warned that I will face the consequences.
I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch:

If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum. However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.
We are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.
May God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children. -PO
I just learned of the arrest of @DeleFarotimi, a respected human rights lawyer and advocate, over an allegation of defamation.
This action is a gross misuse of police powers and a grave assault on the principles of democracy and justice in Nigeria.
I condemn this action in totality. It represents not only an attempt to intimidate opposing voices from questioning authority .
It is also a worrying signal to every Nigerian who loves and values freedom of expression and dares to demand accountability and transparency.
The Nigeria Police Force exists to protect the rights of citizens, not to suppress them.
Defamation, by its nature, is a civil matter that should be addressed in court through due legal process in line with the dictates of the rule of law in a democracy.
As a private citizen, former governor, and even today, I am frequently defamed, insulted, and lied about and against. Yet, I have never resorted to using the Nigerian police or filing reports to silence others.
Those who feel otherwise should seek redress through the proper legal channels, not by weaponizing the police or abusing their access to authority or state power.
The resort to police action, in this case, reeks of abuse of power and raises serious concerns about the independence and professionalism of the police as a civil force.
I hereby request that Dele Farotimi should be released immediately and unconditionally. The police must recognize that their allegiance is to the Constitution and the people of Nigeria, not to narrow interests at the behest of those in power.
A new more Just and fair Nigeria is possible!

According to information reaching us, @PIDOMNIGERIA was definitely alive and relatively unharmed until Wednesday in FCID detention.
Between then and now, something has changed, and we don't know what. Every security agency in Abuja is denying knowing anything about it.
The only thing we know is that ONSA is in charge of this somehow, even though ONSA technically has no direct jurisdiction over @PoliceNG.
Whether Pidom is alive, only @NuhuRibadu can tell us at this point. I'll just remind everyone that even under Abacha, political prisoners didn't die in detention without appearing in front of a judge.

I have noticed some deliberate and well-orchestrated efforts by some persons to blackmail me into conforming to some of their nefarious agendas. Their dubious moves have led to the false circulation of a video from my recent keynote speech at the installation of

Bashir, your attempt to twist the account of the genocide will not fly
We have more detailed accounts
Your attempt to shield terrorism will be halted in its tracks by this generation of Middle Belt people
The attack was carried out by Fulani!
I have lived said areas and I can confirm to you that they are Fulani
A snippet that you want to misconstrue will not work in 2024!!
Atleast you have showed us that you support this criminality! You have always been disguising but it’s nice to catch you in the open
Carry your head in shame!!!

Nobody will allow any of you online terrorists twist the narrative
The perpetrators are Fulani!! In most cases, the local Fulani who through our magnanimity, we allow graze temporarily abet these criminals
And you are also a culprit since u are trying to assist the criminality
It seems to me that most of you are constantly looking for the slightest nuance to flip the switch
It will not work with this generation!!!
You are dealing with the Warriors who remember their history!
The Plateau people who pushed back the Caliphate from Kanam post Yakubu
The Tel people who were formerly called Montol who attacked the Bauchi emirate and made them suffer severe casualties
You cannot intimidate anyone with that empty brain
Now listen to a full account
#Mailafa made a revelation that one of the Northern Governors is the commander of Fulani Muslim Jihadists and was invited by @OfficialDSSNG for a query, within a few months he died of poison from Nigeria's security agency and until today no one has asked who is the Governor.
The truth is not far-fetched @elrufai the Northern dwarf engine was the one he was referring to. During his time as a governor, all The Christian regions in Kaduna were under constant attack and he turned a blind eye as the communities were been renamed by Fulani Muslim jihadists.
Fast forward to 2023-2024, Fulani Muslim jihadists have massacred over 10K northern and Middle Belt Christians while the FG continue to lobby the international community to accept that it is a farmer-herder clash.
No, it is not, This is Fulani Muslims trying to take over NIGERIA like Turkiye has done. They are using the same blueprint as the wish of Osman Danfodio.
@HQNigerianArmy and @PoliceNG are complicit in the kill -and occupy violent attacks on #PlateauMassacre and other Christian communities in Nigeria.
The world MUST wake up to this reality.
This is not the time for political correctness, the death of 200 people at a go is worse than what is happening in #Ukraine & #Gaza combined.
Christians' lives in Nigeria are at great risk.
Save Nothern/MiddleBelt Christians Now before it is too late.

After the damage that you did to the victims and those speaking out with your words, look how vague your press release is. I really really REALLY dislike you. You have zero understanding of how complex the issues are and you act with so much laxity. Please go away. Go far away.
December 25th, 2023 was not the first time a group of jihadists in Nigeria targeted innocent Christians.
On December 4, 2011, at least 4 bombs went off in a Catholic Church near Abuja, killing at least 39 people.
The deadliest bombing took place near Saint Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, where worshipers celebrated a Christmas Day mass. One of the bombers Kabiru Sokoto was arrested and he escaped. He was later found in Shettima’s house!
Another bomb exploded near an evangelical Christian church in the central city of Jos, where clashes between Muslims and Christians are frequent. Officials say a police officer guarding the area was fatally shot around the time of the explosion.
In the northeastern state of Yobe, residents in Gadaka say a bomb blew up near a church during Christmas services. There were no immediate reports of deaths. A fourth attack took place in the Yobe capital of Damaturu, where a car bomb killed three near secret police headquarters.
So, this gaslighting won’t work!
Musa is an inspiration to himself, some asked: "What would he do after resigning from @HQNigerianArmy to campaign for Obi". Today, Musa is selling beans for household consumption only at 4k for 3kg and making 10x the government palliative. Help Musa grow with a repost.
