Osita Chidoka tackles Tinubu for behaving like Buhari


President Bola Tinubu was criticized on Sunday by a former aviation minister, Osita Chidoka, for behaving like former President Muhammadu Buhari in remarketing Nigeria.



Tinubu had ordered Qatari business leaders to expose Nigerian officials who would request bribes before permitting them to conduct business in the country.

While making the announcement, Tinubu assured the global business community that his administration would take firm action against any unethical or dishonest behaviour that would jeopardize investors trust in the country’s economy.

Tinubu declared that the nation would no longer be constrained by outdated corruption and bureaucratic roadblocks that made conducting business difficult.

In response to his remarks, Chidoka expressed his embarrassment at Tinubu’s decision to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor by de-marketing the nation.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain voiced his worries during his appearance as a guest on Politics Today on Channels Television.

He said, “It was an unfortunate statement. I was shocked and embarrassed that he was continuing Buhari’s type of de-marketing of Nigeria.

“There are many Nigerians who will not ask for a bribe or disturb people. The people who will probably ask you for a bribe are in the minority. The job of the President is to sell Nigeria, to be the chief spokesperson and chief salesperson of Nigeria.

“I think this is the lacuna that comes when there is a poor briefing from the agencies of government. I don’t really blame the President. I blame the inability of people like the Minister of Information and Foreign Affairs for the theme of the government.

“The government has to have a theme like we are pro-investment, we want to attract foreign exchange. Our mission is to deodorise Nigeria, to tell a good story about Nigeria, to tell Africa’s rising narrative and to say that this change of government is a new mandate that tells you how Nigeria has been able to sustain democracy for 24 going to 25 years now.

So the story about Nigeria is not a story of bribery and corruption. And we don’t want a President who people are calling from Qatar to report a bribe. They should report them to the police, EFCC, ICPC or any other office of government that deals with that.”

Tinubu said he will continue where Buhari stopped and you lot think it's a joke?

Oga, keep quiet! There's nothing wrong with what Tinubu said. Who doesn't know that Nigeria is a fantastically corrupt country?

Everyone knows where Transiency International placed Nigeria on its scale of corruption perception index.

Corrupt government officials have done this country more harm than good.

The same OSITA that stole everything from FRSC as former boss of the agency

Imagine Tinubu saying this on the Ground we’re Gandollar is present but as a face of their party head 😂
