According to him, \u201cI am sad. This is no longer the country we founded. This country has to start all over again.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t beat someone and ask him not to cry. If you don\u2019t like us, let us go. I don\u2019t want to go, I believe in one Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
