President Bola Tinubu's recent appointment of a controversial former Lagos lawmaker has sparked outrage and accusations of rewarding incompetency. The lawmaker in question had previously been implicated in a scandal involving the diversion of COVID-19 palliatives, which were reportedly used as personal birthday souvenirs in 2020.
In 2020, Glide News raised an alarm about the lawmaker's actions, leading to widespread condemnation and a loss of public trust. This scandal played a significant role in her failed bid for re-election to the Lagos House of Assembly in 2022. Despite this, President Tinubu has now appointed her to a prominent position within his administration, raising serious questions about his commitment to accountability and good governance.
Critics argue that this appointment exemplifies a troubling pattern of rewarding incompetency and corruption, undermining efforts to build a transparent and effective government. "These people just won’t stop till they ruin this country," one outraged citizen commented, reflecting the widespread frustration and disappointment felt by many Nigerians.
The move has also ignited debates on social media, with citizens expressing their dismay and calling for more stringent measures to ensure that public officials who engage in corrupt practices are held accountable rather than rewarded. Many are questioning the rationale behind the appointment and the message it sends to the public about the standards of governance in Nigeria.
This incident is not an isolated case, as similar concerns have been raised about other appointments and policies under the Tinubu administration. Critics argue that without significant changes in how public officials are chosen and evaluated, the country risks perpetuating a cycle of corruption and inefficiency.
President Tinubu has yet to respond to these allegations and the growing calls for transparency. However, political analysts suggest that this controversy could significantly impact his administration's credibility and public support.
Glide News will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as the story develops. In the meantime, the appointment serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges Nigeria faces in its fight against corruption and the importance of holding leaders accountable for their actions.
