According to the governor, criticisms emanating from his comments do not bother him, as he free to air his opinion in a judiciary.

He said: “I have no apology. I don’t apologise for my views. I don’t need to explain anything to anyone. This is a democracy. There must be room for people to express their views.”

When I look at leaders like el-Rufai who believe public office should be used to oppress critics, all I can do is laugh. They have forgotten how they suffered when they were out of office after OBJ.

Nothing last forever. Not public office or even life itself. #FreeStevenKefas

Never have i been a fan of El Rufai. But in a battle between him and the Lagos Drug baron. I will tilt towards Murus.
