Lawyer accuses Tinubu of unprecedented political inducement on X
Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong accused President Bola Tinubu of engaging in widespread political inducement and compromising individuals in an unprecedented manner, according to a post he shared on X on Tuesday. Effiong claimed that many Nigerians once seen as principled have become indifferent to bad governance, with some pretending neutrality while making excuses for the administration and tacitly opposing efforts to change the status quo. He warned that by the time Tinubu’s tenure ends, a special census might be needed to count those whose integrity remains intact.
The allegations touch on growing concerns about political loyalty and ethical standards ahead of the 2027 elections, suggesting a climate where personal gain may outweigh civic duty. While the claims originate from a social media post and lack independent verification, they reflect broader public debate over governance under Tinubu’s administration.
If these accusations point to a systemic shift in political conduct, what measures should citizens and institutions take to safeguard integrity and accountability in Nigeria’s democratic process?
