Political strategist and transformational executive Princess Olatorera Oniru has accused President Bola Tinubu of running a corrupt government.
Princess Oniru said in a statement Friday that Tinubu has normalised corruption and the public service was now like a mafia organisation, which reward cronies.
“Let us be honest about Tinubu; his entire public profile is allegedly built on falsities — his age, his academic records, his health status, and his wealth,” the statement read.
“His leadership has normalized corruption, rewarded cronies, and turned public service into a mafia operation. What we are witnessing is not leadership, it is network maintenance while the majority perish.”
Speaking on the ambition of Peter Obi Ms Oniru noted that the former Anambra State governor was a beneficiary of the corrupt and retrogressive system and may not deliver.
“Peter Obi presents himself as a break from the old, but his roots are in the same soil. He speaks of change, but benefits from the regressive system. His speeches are polished, but allegedly mostly written by aides. His vision is marketed, not lived.
“He is not the worst of the old system, but he is very much a product of it. He may be more refined than Tinubu but that does not make him the change Nigeria needs. Nigeria does not need managed branding; it needs moral courage.
“Citizens deserve more than orchestrated deception. We must stop choosing leaders who thrive on manipulation and mediocrity. Nigeria is a nation of brilliance. We must be led by those who elevate, not exploit.’’
