Nigerians who follow him on the platform, criticised him for the statement – even as many accused him, for trying to change ship, in order to avoid prosecution.
In his reaction to the backlash, Okupe said he was right to praise the EFCV operatives for the way, they handled him, just as he would have castigated them, for doing otherwise.
Some Nigerians are politically unifocal. One way traffic only.
