Sam Amadi says Nigerians should not hate Tinubu but hate his policies
Former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi, has called on Nigerians to move away from personal attacks on President Bola Tinubu, urging them instead to focus on his politics and policies.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Amadi warned that demonizing Tinubu as an individual achieves little, especially if he is replaced by someone who is no different in terms of governance.
He drew parallels with the opposition against former President Goodluck Jonathan, stressing that the same approach of targeting the individual rather than the system or policies only produced disappointing outcomes.
“There is no sense in hating Tinubu as a person and then bringing someone equally flawed in politics and governance. That’s what happened with Jonathan. The rational and honest thing is to reject Tinubu’s politics and policies, and instead push for a leader fundamentally different from him,” Amadi wrote.
The Nigerian youth leaders of Ogun State call on the government for their support to advance youth development in the state.
For International Youth Day, Ogun State held a programme with Nigerian youth leaders, and it was shared.
“Ogun State is at a trajectory moment of transition and continuity, and it’s a political season. We are trying to ensure that youth inclusion is key in the next administration’s agenda.”
“A dedicated ministry will help coordinate opportunities for our young people and ensure that their voices are properly channelled.”
Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.
He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.
“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”
“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”
He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
