The response by the President's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Cardinal John Onaiyekan's television interview reveals a troubling misunderstanding of constitutional democracy. It also exposes a growing tendency within this administration to confuse criticism with disloyalty and accountability with discourtesy.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently delivered a masterclass in presidential fatalism. In his own words:
The newspapers report it. Television analysts nod approvingly. Social media applauds. Everyone moves on.
Thomas Sankara's dramatic life and legacy inspire Captain Ibrahim Traore, as they redefine African ideals and reshape the future.
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration appears to have forgotten that rule in its handling of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) controversy. In its determination to destroy the credibility of one man, Prince Adeniyi Matthew Adeyemi, it may have inflicted collateral damage on something far more valuable: the credibility of official government documentation itself.
