“Hon. Bwala claims Professor Zulum lets in opposition events to thrive. This can be a entire distortion of truth on flooring in Borno.
“Allow us to ask Bwala and his paymasters some easy questions; Is Demolition of Opposition Belongings Tolerance?
“Borno folks nonetheless consider the sunlight demolition of the 3-storey plaza belonging to Hon. Atom Magira, a identified opposition voice in Maiduguri. Until nowadays, no transparent court docket order or repayment has been proven to the general public. If the federal government tolerates opposition, why is opposition funding being became to rubble? Bwala forgot to say this.
“Is danger by way of a sitting Commissioner tolerance?; Simply remaining month, the Commissioner for Sports activities, Youths and Poverty alleviation, Hon. Saina Buba was once on document in a viral video brazenly threatening youths who known with opposition events, telling them they are going to be handled. Has that Commissioner been cautioned or queried? Silence manner endorsement. Bwala comfortably forgot this.
“Is the detention of ‘Tinubu Should Cross” protesters’ tolerance? Hon. Bwala attempted to distance Governor Zulum from the arrest and detention of the 5 youths who carried placards pronouncing ‘Tinubu Should Cross’ in Maiduguri. Who ordered the Police to arrest them?
