You can’t embrace Boko Haram members and banish harmless people like Sanusi Lamido Sanusi into a Bush in Nassarawa… This is not how to build a Nation. Sanusi has left the throne for Kano, let him enjoy his Freedom.PMB

You can trap a man destined to fly, you can stop a bullet in momentum
You choose to be true and different so they persecute.

There is no justification or whatsoever to keep sanusi on exile, thereby depriving him of He’s Constitutional Rights of freedom and liberty, if he is arrested on what charges? Free him now and compensate him for this violations, this is totally unconstitutional #FreeSanusiNow

The ignominious incarceration and immurement of HRH Sanusi is a crime against humanity which should be resisted by all well meaning Nigerians , a citizen of the federal republic has the right to move, live freely and associate in any part of Nigeria #FreeSanusiNow

Such man that practice his religion and profession consciously can not be incarcerated. You can not confine a vast reader like SLS. #FreeSanusiNow

How can someone be this wicked? What has he done to deserves this type of treatment? Is General Buhari thinks he going to be there forever? Sanusi must be free and Ganduje should remember his time will definitely come too. #FreeSanusiNow

Buhari and his Government has elevated mediocrity to its peak. Competence and capacity has become a sin. It’s up to the elites to concor or reject it.#FreeSanusiNow
