Abacha: Nigerians liken DSS treatment of Sowore to late military dictator

Now we know why Buhari told us Abacha was a saint. It would be disrespectful to Abacha for any human to compare him to Buhari. We're seeing a modern version of tyranny and anarchy in Nigeria. I hope they won't tell us tomorrow that Sowore committed suicide.

We know Buhari was bad for democracy ! We did not think ! That’s Abacha’s assistant ! Before abacha he murdered ibo’s in mass ! Fact check

If you were alive during Abacha & Babaginda’s regime, all these is familiar & will trigger another level of trauma.
Watching journalists and thought leaders arrested for speaking up & then eventually killed by the state.
This is never only about Sowere.

Buhari has officially taken us back to the Abacha days. We know how Abacha ended.

Also, unfortunately Tinubu's boys won't say much because they need to keep 'Jagaban 2023' alive. And that means staying loyal to Buhari. For now.

And yes, @ProfOsinbajo should resign.

If this goes on….regardless whatever their sincerest intentions it won't matter a government should be seen to be subservient to its citizens, if not we just better revive the Abacha era…😤

If we survived the Abacha era, we will survive this Buhari tyranny but we will not be cowards, silenced or intimidated. This is the time the professional elites need to speak up and rise up like they did during the June 12 junta

Remember when we thought Buhari was sincerely dueling Dasuki because of corruption…

The veil is totally off, the fronting is over… Buhari is a full blown Abacha reincarnate

The DSS is obviously just a tool, he would have used something else if there was no DSS https://t.co/I7LojShQPI

Abacha was the biggest Tyrant Nigerian government has ever seen but he never ever constituted this much nuisance to the point of Chasing a sitting Judge out of the court room .
