Less than 24 hours after the scathing letter. I know it's not easy not to want to be merciful toward your friends when they err and you're in a position to sanction or punish them. But that's what justice demands. Less than 1 year into Trumps administration he has had to let go of very close appointees like former NSA Mike Flynn, White House strategist, Stephen Bannon, Reince Priebus, etc - for his own political survival. Buhari doesn't seem to know how to do this. He's averse to change.
AntiWailer:

Even Trump wey no get sense 1 bit.
To think we have a President duller than Trump is a national embarrassment.
You're funny, bro. Trump is very intelligent. You might think he's fooling himself by some of his Twitter posts and verbal statements sometimes, but he knows what he's doing. He's fighting a psychological war and Twitter is providing him a very good medium. No insult intended, but can Buhari even post a single tweet himself? No!

Detention isn't enough, speedy trial is.

The President needs to start his cleansing with his inner caucus starting from Abba Kyari, Maina, Malami who have been fingered in serious corruption allegations.

It is not too late, Mr President.

This administration should stop playing on our intelligence. They are yet to secure any high profile conviction after detaining and interrogations.


Stop playing on our intelligence, we know what will happen next

This one, no media show of force in taking him to custody

Who knows whether, they went with AC SUV and begged him to follow them to office

If PDP, they would have publicized how they bundled him in handcuffs to the station

He will be released jare
