You're right. He only asked for guns and bullets to commit worse.

You mean like Oba Rilwane Akiolu of Lagos who threatened to drown Igbos in the lagoon should they fail to vote for his anointed gubernatorial candidate in the 2015 elections.

The same Oba is walking freely without being held in a dungeon.

Or maybe like those wicked politicians of yours who threatened fire and brimstone should they lose the elections in 2011 and pronto carnage and murder of many Southerners and Christians followed suit in the North, with many Youth Corps members slaughtered for the ”BABOON AND DOG WILL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD” chant.

The core North never hid their hatred for GEJ, both during and after the elections, yet he carried them along in his government. The North held prominent and strategic positions in GEJ's government. GEJ executed many viable projects in the North at the expense of his people with the crude oil wealth from his own backyard.

Yorubas had very important positions under GEJ. Yoruba elites were featured in Forbes magazine and yet they called GEJ unprintable names all over the place.

During GEJ's administration the Appeal court’s judgment made the likes of Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun and former Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, to assume governorship positions. Such feat was a taboo in Obj's time.
