    When I said there’s no better mischief maker(s) than the restoration government as led by the chiefest mischief maker himself, Henry Seriake Dickson, I meant it in every sense of it.
    Now, here is a government that had initially issued a press release debunking any such threat to Dickson’s seat as is said to be rumoured, now pointing fingers at the federal government.
    These fellows are having a terrible nightmare, and the result is the gibberish they’re spewing. Someone should tell Bello Bina and his co-travellers to stop raising false alarm. A thief runneth when no one pursueth
