for the so called publication about the Governor, he did not commit any crime.  he only asked a question and it is not a crimeto ask any question.
if i ask the Governor '' are you mad?" ...by law, it is not a crime. all he has to do is say yes or no.
that same Governor told someone to go and die. did he go to court for that?

APC Government filled with touts. They just arrest this man because he voice coecern over what is purely an act of impunity. If he had supported what they did nobody would ´ve noticed that he has a gun. 
All i know about present Nigeria is, if you need a job, criticise the past administration but if you happen to criticise the present administration of APC the EFCC will show at your door step.
