A President , @MBuhari makes a statement that clearly promotes jungle justice during elections with zero nuance to what he said and you have some young fellows defending this with their lives? May God help those of you that cannot see where this could lead on Election Day.

That statement by the President can easily be misused by trigger-happy security personnel. Sad. https://twitter.com/obyezeks/status/1097592876937154571?s=19
