Nobody Should Suffer Injustice for Calling Me Names, Tinubu Says on Democracy Day

President Tinubu has declared that critics should not face injustice for writing bad reports or calling him names.

Speaking during a special address at the National Assembly to commemorate June 12 Democracy Day, Tinubu emphasised that democratic leadership requires tolerance for dissent — even when it comes in the form of harsh words.

The president urged lawmakers to resist the temptation to suppress criticism, stressing that dialogue, persuasion, and openness must guide the country’s democratic journey.

No one should bear the brunt of injustice for merely writing a bad report about me or calling me names,” Tinubu told the gathering of lawmakers. “Democracy requires a fair degree of tolerance for harsh words and stinging insults.

Call me names, call me whatever you will, and I will still call upon democracy to defend your right to do so,” he said.

He added that even the fiercest opponents sometimes offer the most valuable insights.

Do not be afraid to hear an unkind word spoken against you. Some of the best advice a politician gets sometimes comes from his most ferocious opponents.”

While condemning malicious slander and libel, Tinubu warned against creating a culture of fear and repression.

“The imposed silence of repressed voices breeds chaos and ill will, not the harmonics of democracy in the long term,” he said.

Tinubu you have achieved your lifelong ambition of becoming a failed President, please have pity on suffering Nigerians and bow out now. You are not fit to govern Nigeria. Nigeria is bigger than your ethnocentric mind. You are better off as a Yoruba regional leader where you are their champion. Nigeria is too big for you, please resign and save the future of Nigeria angry

What a man!

Just like Donald Trump, he has a thick skin and loves freedom of expression.

He's full of wisdom too.

Why would ebilokan steal something that Obi and his ers gave him unwittingly, after Wike pushed him out of PDP

jameshankss:
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

The Federal Government says it has no intention to borrow from any local or foreign organisation with its removal of subsidy on petrol and exchange rate harmonisation.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Chief Wale Edun, revealed this at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting on Monday in Abuja.

He said that the benefit of the subsidy removal would be ploughed back into various sectors aimed at boosting government revenue and improving the business environment for local and foreign investment.

Edun said that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.

He reiterated the President Bola Tinubu-led istration’s desire to bring back the economy from the wood it has found itself over time.
