He took to his Twitter page and wrote: “My recent opinionated post on the Bayelsa State judgment is being viewed as biased in some quarters. However, the points outlined there implies to IMO, OSUN, and other affected states. I’m putting it out because “electoral reform” is needed now. We shouldn’t set ugly precedent.”
