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.
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.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
