Publisher Dele Momodu, on Wednesday shared photos of APC members carrying a coffin with former President Goodluck Jonathan's photo on it during the buildup of the 2015 general election.
He said Goodluck Jonathan deserves commendations and apologies from Nigerians because he was a president who respect the freedom of speech and expression in the country unlike president Buhari.
Recall that in 2015, the then opposition party members called president Jonathan all kinds of unprintable names and accused him of baseless allegations yet, the ex president did not order arrest of any of his critics.
Shearing the photos on his Twitter handle, Momodu said no one can try this now with President Buhari.
''This picture illustrates how quickly & easily a country can lose its Democracy & slip dangerously & excruciatingly into Dictatorship.
"Former PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN truly deserves our commendation & apologies... No one can try this now with PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI... ''he tweeted.

Meanwhile, Outspoken Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja, Muhammed Nuru Khalid, also known as Digital Imam, has said the North owe former President Goodluck Jonathan, an apology for not recognizing his sincere commitment in the fight against insecurity in the country especially in the North.
He said, "Federal Government is not getting a lot of things right. They really have to sit up and do more as quickly as possible to save Nigeria from total explosion.
"I don’t think when the former President Goodluck Jonathan was in power, we were this silent in national issues, particularly security and corruption, like we are today. When former President Jonathan was in power, we the North, the Muslims, were always shouting and talking about the state of the nation, particularly as regards perceived corruption and insecurity which is fast consuming us all now.
"Why are northern religious, community and political leaders not talking about the deplorable state of the nation now. Are we politicking with the insecurity and unending bloodletting across Nigeria especially in the North?
"We must amplify our voice so that the Federal Government will do the right thing as regards insecurity, corruption and general socio-economic development. If you look at the position of those who are checkmating the security of this nation, who are they? Are they not northerners? Are they not Muslims? Why are we having this kind of carnage in the region?
