The Yobe state Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has directed the immediate release of a teenager detained by the police for allegedly insulting the state’s number one man.

Governor Buni who is not aware of the arrest and detention, said it was grossly unnecessary to arrest anyone for insulting or criticising him.

“This is the price of leadership and we are fully conscious of it, therefore, l couldn’t have ordered nor condoned the detention of anyone.

“Until someone drew my attention to it, l wasn’t aware of his arrest and detention, l have now directed his immediate release from detention,” Governor Buni said.

Some sanity in this land of chaos

If this was really the case then Buni has no blame whatsoever. The moment I won't be able to freely express myself in this shithole is the day I dust my passport and japa to a sane and working country.
When there is nothing working in the Zoo why won't people vent their frustrations. A country with loads of dumb and ineffective buffoons as leaders are scared of a little criticism here and there, even the best of countries have their leaders pounded left and right if they mess up. Small advice gorrilla dey cry.

Just ask Buhari and Tinubu wetin their eyes done see, that's the price for failure and efficient cluelessness. Na pickin wey no get sense dey chop slap pass

Correct.. Nigerian security personnel go dey over do,but fight bandits and bokoharam they can't do shit..

Though they said power intoxicate, if not this Gov. Buni is one of the most gentle men I have ever come across. When he was the APC secretary, I was working with one hotel in Abuja.
He respects everyone, no matter how small, before you greet him, he call you by your name and ask you how are you. And anytime he sends you on errands he will reward you handsomely
I still remember that his driver that doesn't speak English but only Hausa, you need to see the special way he treats him. He gives him same category of room, eat same food with him, even he goes out at night to bring girls, he will bring for him as well

Better.

Too many sycophants around these politicians. Wetin they no send them, na im dem go dey do. Oversabi lots.

mtchwwwwwwwwww him

You just earn my respect Sir.

Nice

Yeye

Wetin the boy talk?
That's what I want to know.
If an opposition politician abuse them, they won't arrest that one. No one has ever arrested Dino, Reno or FFK. But the child of the poor are arrested. Get power for this life o. Whether you be man, woman or shim.
Power ll make your talk and nothing ll happen.
That 16yrs old boy must v been frightened for life!

Nice one from the handsome governor.

The police and other security agencies in this part of the world see criticizing the government or people in power as a threat to national security.

Overzealous aides to the governor at work, so one can't criticise governors again

"They" will still wail. And say that the Governor's instruction is an afterthought. And say that how could the Governor expect "them" to believe that the security agencies were not under his instructions to detain the imp. "They" are Contrarians. You never meet anyone like them all your life! In any case, what may you not expect from clansmen who intentionally call the country they now desire to rule, The Zoo and its amiable President the Cloned Jubril of Sudan, and that drawing not a word of scolding from their loud leaders? Leaders who are now under weekly instructions by a youth in self-imposed exile to remain indoors on a certain day of the week! Headless leaders, I call them.

But wait ooh. Na only for north political parties dey campaign this days ooh.

In the south na total no sign. Na waoo

Divide this shíthole asap

OK

Nigerian leaders worse than peegs!

If you are afraid of criticism you are not fit for leadership.

Thank you Buni.

Smh

Ok

I have always regarded governor mala buni as a gentleman politician. So it came to me as a surprise to hear that a "small boy" has been arrested for "insulting" him. How could governor buni descend to such an ignoble level to order the arrest, I had thought. Good that he has come out to show the world his true character.

Immediately

Overzealous security personnel

Vb

One major problem we have in Nigeria is the high level of psychophancy and total absence of principles. Why arresting the minor, who sent them.

The Governor is So Foolish, Senseless and Irresponsible for Arresting a Minor.
If it was Atiku or El rufai Son that insulted him . Will he arrest them?
mumu Governor
