Not been myself since @SamuelOgundipe’s illegal detention - unable to articulate thoughts clearly enough without sentiments, unwilling to tweet much about anything else because the only thing on my mind is #FreeSamuelOgundipe - a sad hashtag we’ve trended for others in the past.
Some of us have never been under any illusion as to the capacity of this Buhari/Osinbajo regime for evil and the solution to it is simply to vote them out and hope that never again do we have to do #FreeSamuelOgundipe hashtag for anyone else in future.
This Govt is Tyranny.
This Govt is Tyranny.
My consolation here is that Samuel’s spirit is UNBREAKABLE.
I do not personally know any other journalist who is more ethically committed to his profession but also eager to write his name in The Golden Book where the names of the likes of Dele Giwa is etched in capital letters.

I recall a very heated conversation I had with Samuel about a year ago on the role of the media.
We managed not to exchange blows but we did not agree eventually. His writings since then became bolder and I smiled when I read them cos I knew I had made impact from that argument.

Let us be clear to the Forces of Tyranny and their lackeys in this space: Freedom Always Comes.
It might delay, but it always comes - an Enlightened Human Spirit can NEVER BE BROKEN, Never.
This Govt is the Unfortunate Vessel of Samuel’s Glorification - theirs is the shame.

If that boy dies in detention, his blood is on the head of @ProfOsinbajo - the silent enabler of evil who sometimes masquerades as an angel of light: pray he doesn’t die in detention sir; my spirit is heavy on this #FreeSamuelOgundipe matter.
Pray he doesn’t die sir.
Pray he doesn’t die sir.
Everyone who knows Samuel, please send thoughts of Life, Love and Light to him - say a prayer if you don’t know him so well.
His spirit is unbreakable but his body is frail.
#FreeSamuelOgundipe is a righteous cause and he will walk with his two legs to visit his mother soon.
