This man sef....haba, doesn't Tinubu already have enough spokesmen and spokeswomen?

discusant:


Tufiakwa.

Excusing for a president of a country leaving the country in moments of decision or stress in the country.

Does Doyin Okupe live in another planet?
Is there no limit to asslicking and lying in search of belonging to the centre of power house?

Well, I attribute this moral decline mostly to so-called child right activists and parents.

Child right activists don't know their boundaries in most cases. They advocate for freedom for kids without boundaries. For instance, there's this case of a boy who refuses to get serious in school and he was becoming disobedienr. his dad flogged him at home and someone recorded it, posted it and it led to the man's arrest after activists claimed the man was wrong to beat the boy. A school he spent a lot training the boy.

Then to many parents in Nigeria, they see teachers as unfortunate individuals who relied on them for their food so they tend to tell teachers how to train up kids. A child misbehave and you flog him then his or her parents shows up, fighting you for telling their child to kneel down for too long or fetch water because even them that gave birth to the child don't do that.

Lots of the ills we see today are a product of wrong parenting and unguided freedom.

Students shout and talk nonsense to their teachers without fear, they insult leaders in front of their parents and the parent do nothing about it...

Morality and goodness now means money and fame. Once you have it, regardless of what you do, you're moral, and am afraid that's becoming a norm

A former Presidential spokesperson, Dr Doyin Okupe, says Nigerians criticising President Bola Tinubu’s trip to the United Kingdom for a two-week holiday are uninformed.

Okupe expressed the view in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) on Thursday in Lagos.

He spoke against the backdrop of criticisms of the President travelling abroad for vacation instead of staying in the country.
The former Director-General of Peter Obi’s Presidential Campaign said: “I have read many uninformed criticisms of the President’s holiday trip abroad.

“Personally, from my understanding of how Presidents behave in periods of national crisis, I believe the President has willfully separated himself from officials, friends and associates to reflect and review the last 17 months and chart a new way forward for his administration.

“At the same time, it is to carefully avoid undue interference from political associates, in his thought process to rejig his cabinet.

“Staying anywhere in Nigeria definitely will not afford him such a peaceful and serene atmosphere to achieve his objective,”

He expressed the belief that the President’s return after “this retreat” would signal good tidings for the people of Nigeria and bring about the much-needed comfort and succour for our teeming masses.
NAN recalls that Tinubu departed Abuja on Oct. 2 for the United Kingdom to begin a two-week vacation.

A statement by Mr Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy, said the President would use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.

It is the first time President Tinubu will go on leave since he assumed office in May 2023, though he had embarked on several foreign trips between then and now.
