MY GREAT SON, YOU ARE A GENIUS, A WARRIOR, A MAN OF TRUTH, SO DON’T BE AMAZED AT THE SERIES OF SOCIETAL CHALLENGES COMING YOUR WAY.
THE ARRESTS, THE BACKLASH FROM NETIZENS, ETC., ARE ALL COMPONENTS THAT WILL ALWAYS MAKE UP YOUR STRENGTH.
I LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY, NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO FAMZ MYSELF AROUND YOU TO PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING ME A SUBJECT TOPIC. SEE EHNN, IF YOU DISCOVER ANY OPPRESSING MOVE THAT I HAVE MADE AGAINST ANYONE USING MY STATUS IN THE SOCIETY, PLEASE YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL ME OUT, AND I WILL EXPLAIN IF ANY.
I AM SUPPORTING YOU GENUINELY BECAUSE I ALSO STAND BY THE TRUTH JUST LIKE YOU DO, NOT TO BUY FAVOUR OR SEEK VALIDATION FROM YOU.
I HAVE SEEN YOUR GOOD WORKS AND IMPACTS MORE, ESPECIALLY IN THE RETRIEVAL CASE OF THE SUM OF ONE MILLION NAIRA WHICH OCCURRED RECENTLY.
I AM PLEASED WITH ALL YOU DO, AND THAT’S WHY YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A VOICE TO THE VOICELESS.
FINALLY, I SAY A BIG WELCOME TO YOU FOR ALWAYS RETURNING A VICTOR; THIS LAST BAIL GO DON DEY MEK THEM CRY BECAUSE IT WAS SO IMMEDIATE, WHICH THEY LEAST EXPECTED BECAUSE, IN THEIR MIND, THEY WISHED YOU TO SLEEP THERE. NEVERTHELESS, THE TRUTH MUST CONTINUE TO PREVAIL.
KEEP DOING THE GREAT WORK, MY SON. YOU CAN NEVER BE SILENCED.”
