The video he shared on Twitter on Sunday, October 2, had the caption:

"We showed them how to do a proper march today in just one town in Kogi; no borrowed crowd; everyone here has a PVC (go and verify ). This is organised by proper ‘structures’, not ‘keypad activists’! Gradually, we shall separate the boys from the men!"
