Unease as Nigeria’s president-elect, Tinubu hires 2 Russians as aides
May 2, 2023 Nkiruka Nistoran 0 Comments Nigeria, NigeriaDecides2023, world-news
There is palpable apprehension over the presence and role of two Russian citizens working as aides to the Nigeria’s president-elect, Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Political and security watchers are worried at the real status of the two Russian Advisers. And this is more so as their status in Nigeria is not known as they are not deployed diplomats of the Russian Federation Embassy in Nigeria.

There are fears that the President-elect may inadvertently be drawing Nigeria into an arena of global U.S. Versus Russia rivalry, which could destroy the relative peace in the country.

A source familiar with the development said, “There are worries both within Nigeria and abroad as their presence poses questions. For example, are they non-state actors? What is their remit? Were they used to manipulate the INEC Server? Why would anyone who wants to be a Nigerian President outsource sensitive advisory positions to foreigners when Nigerians can do such jobs?

“All these questions are begging for answers and Nigerians have the right to know, what these aliens are doing here and what is their employment and immigration status.

“Aside from the well-known notorious role Russia can play in the manipulation of elections, Nigerians are also very concerned about the rivalry Russian dominance of the incoming government in Nigeria will bring with the Western World.

“An easy point in hand is the needless war in Sudan where the two World powers, US and Russia are engaged in a severe proxy war with Sudanese nationals as the victims.”

The source added: “Maybe the President-elect and his team will need to brief Nigerians on this especially against the backdrop of his sneaking into Lagos on Saturday reportedly to meet some foreign doctors who came to attend to his health.

“Why wouldn’t they attend to him in Defence House, his official residence as President-elect, or his house in Abuja? When has Lagos been more conducive than Abuja for the sick and elderly, especially an incoming President”

No peace for mama chinedu

I am really disappointed in Tinubu.
If He aligns with Russia, then He has proved to be a smart politician.
For Nigeria to be great, we must cut all ties with the West. They are the reason Africa is doing bad today.

For Nigeria to be great we need to consider Russian over the west.

You no get sense at all.
Even your so called Russia is not great with the large land mass.

Really, Nigeria is neutral, so get sense.

Tinubu already has people like the Chagouri family around him so he can as well add ex KGB and ZETAS to his squad.

This is a good decision made by our president-elect.

Make UGM from the east no go kill am

Drug dealer spending his drug loot.

Though I don't know if this is true, but i have always said this:

That if I was a president, I will rather hire seasoned foreign professionals in these ministries:
*Finance
*Petroleum
*Works
*Interior(Security)

Nigeria needs RADICAL thinking and changes. These ministries are considered the juiciest by Nigerian politicians because of the money and power that the African man wants.

Give them to a Professional that comes from a society of almost zero corruption, almost 100 commitment for the word SERVICE (In the West, these cabinet ministers make less than our politicians here......they do it for SERVICE for their Country) and we will see PERFORMANCE!

I still say this......Colonialist treated us better than the way our leaders have treated us in Africa!

Your source name they make me laff
