With the boy Muhammad Lawan on the billboard hanger yesterday. We spoke extensively with the boy this afternoon, I sincerely believe he is very sane and is not doing this thing for any monetary gain or under the influence of any drug or persons.

The boy told me in private he has nothing against PMB but a pro Atiku Abubakar a diehard supporter of the former VP.
