El-Rufai agrees to free "Audu Maikori over Southern Kaduna Fake news after Oby Ezekwesili's intervention @GovKaduna

@Audu this apology helps as an entry point to lessons of yesterday's event which I only caught up on very late&my call to @GovKaduna today. I urged the @GovKaduna to get @Audu out & he replied that his policy of Consequences was important for stemming killings in #SouthernKaduna. he @GovKaduna stated that the actions for which @Audu apologized inflamed  the #SouthKaduna conflict more & so the law taking its course.

I asked the @GovKaduna to consider  @Audu 's apology and his unfortunate arrest as a TEACHABLE MOMENT for both the Government & everyone. People already know how stridently I  insist on EVIDENCE-BASED ADVOCACY. WE all must take a LESSON from this.  @GovKaduna @Audu. #LESSON. There's no basis for a Govt clamp down on Citizens'  FACT-BASED advocacy on ANY ISSUE. So @Audu admitted he was WRONG. Accept it @GovKaduna

I told @GovKaduna that it was best to FREE @Audu &  use this as the Govt's POLICY MOMENT to get its MESSAGE of CONSEQUENCES thru to Public. I pressed on the NECESSITY for @GovKaduna to act to FREE @Audu and allow all sides to LEARN the RIGHT LESSON from this painful episode. At the end of our discussion, @GovKaduna agreed to ACT and FREE @Audu quickly and end this unfortunate development. WILL WATCH OUT FOR IT. Upon release today, I very much hope that @GovKaduna and  @Audu can find points of COLLABORATION on #SouthernKaduna after this sad episode

Tell It as U FEEL , THOUGHTS? ... spill TEA.... gently Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
