For the past 36 hours, we have been working to have Nnamdi Chude @chude released by the Police or, at least, be told the exact reasons for his arrest. For now, it would appear that his political affiliations are the reason he was targeted. This is wrong, and our democracy must.

Thank you, team. I am elated that our people rose to the occasion to cast their votes for @peterobi. I am also excited to see that the old structures are being torn down in the state. This is what democracy is about. You have shown that, indeed, the people are the structure.
We have seen a few comments about the Labour Party effect. This is a valid concern. But we must ask ourselves, what are the qualities in Peter Obi that made us support him?.Which of the candidates running have the same qualities of competence, character, capacity, and compassion?
