"Speaking With A Forked Tongue": Mischief Makers Launch Baseless Criticism Over Tinubu's Presidential Convoy In Lagos

By Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah

The recent elections have concluded, with winners and losers emerging. However, in the typical fashion of Nigerian politics, there are always individuals who refuse to accept defeat gracefully and instead resort to "baseless hysteria" or "unfounded panic," also known as "false alarm."

These individuals, predominantly from the losing team, constantly seek ways to justify their loss or humiliation by finding unnecessary faults in the declared winner. Their actions demonstrate a lack of sportsmanship and an unwillingness to accept the reality of the electoral outcome.

In stark contrast, true statesmen rise above partisan divides and focus on constructive dialogue for the betterment of the nation. They engage in respectful and informed debates, offering constructive criticism and proposing solutions that serve the best interests of the country.

Their sense of patriotism shines through as they prioritize the well-being and advancement of the nation over their own political gains.

For instance, one particularly ardent critic questioned why an Army Officer should be dressed in full regalia and follow the Nigerian President wherever he goes as an ADC.

However, a simple check would clarify that Tinubu is not only the President but also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This fact explains why in the presidential villa, there are two flags displayed – one representing the President and the other symbolizing the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. These flags behind the President signify his office as the President of Nigeria and as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Yet, the mischief makers would have you believe that the second flag represents Islamic symbolism and implies the Islamization of Nigeria. However, they are not as ignorant as they would pretend to be if exposed; rather, they are intentionally spreading mischief and falsehood.

Recently, the President arrived in Lagos following a successful foreign trip to France, where he attracted numerous foreign investors to the waiting hands of Lagosians. Truthfully, this was the first time Tinubu visited Lagos as the President and Commander-in-Chief.

Now, these same opposition members turned mischief makers are crying waste over the President's convoy, conveniently ignoring the fact that among those convoys were numerous VIPs and government officials, they came along with their crew as well (press etc)

Amidst the convoy, notable figures including the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Chief of Staff to the President (who also served as the former Speaker of the House of Representatives), the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, and very likely a majority of the Lagos State House of Assembly Members, alongside other high-ranking government officials and close associates of the President, undoubtedly constituted a significant part of the convoy.

Considering the security implications, it is expected that Tinubu's convoy would be larger than usual. However, those engaging in criticism fail to acknowledge this and instead choose to "speak with a forked tongue."

This phrase implies that someone is intentionally deceptive or dishonest in their speech, saying one thing while knowing the truth or having a different intention. It is often used to describe individuals who manipulate or deceive others through their words, ultimately revealing their true intentions and exposing their foolishness.

It is evident that the naysayers and mischief makers who are criticizing Tinubu's presidential convoy in Lagos are engaging in baseless criticism and false alarm. Their refusal to accept defeat gracefully and their tendency to spread misinformation and manipulate the facts only serve to expose their true intentions and highlight their lack of credibility.

True statesmen rise above such pettiness and focus on constructive dialogue for the betterment of the nation.

We must want a rapid development so much, that we celebrate the things that have bedeviled our space for generations. The ingenuiness to our Commonwealth stinks among the political actors and their brokers

The interesting part are the future generations who are fighting for these characters.

Sorry guys forget all the theory, you have inherited an irredeemable system called Nigeria.

The Deprivation was deliberately fashioned to keep you in your place

Take a close look at the Nigerian Educational System, you will see the Reason youths are supporting these Charaters

May be the wailers expected president Tinubu's supporters to have gone to the airport with Keke Maruwa or are they saying all the convoys are presidential convoy?

The Nigerian/Zambian nationalities who praised Zambia president for receiving massive crowd welcoming him back from France saying same can't be about Nigeria president, na this same people dey gnash teeth about his Excellency convoy since yesterday.

Life of Nigeria wailers, dem don wail so tey dem don thin like Panla fish

Let the Wailers wail. It has always been their calling since the day they took their first breath as living creatures. Asking them not to do so is the equivalent of asking them to hang a noose around their necks and jump off a cliff.

Truth is, they know the truth, that not all the cars in the motorcade belong to the presidential motorcade, but they just have to believe otherwise to make themselves feel good.

Their noise should be the least of the President's worries.

I am not surprised a bit. It's not a bad thing to wail, wailing is good for their health.

God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president of the most prosperous black nation on the earth!

What has your own calling been?

To be a Devils Advocate? Supporter of all that is bad and evil? To inflict tears on your black brethren, prefering to see your brothers "WAIL" than "SMILE"?

You demon from the abyss, that opposed GEJ and supported BUHARI to the point your people couldn't even get their own currency.

Now you support Tinubu to further destroy your people.

You better enjoy all that you can in this life, for you will give account for all the tears you have caused to the one true king, who can not be bribed.

A day without wailers wailing is an incomplete day.

I supported GEJ all through his administration only against his reelection, same thing as former president Trump of USA. Opposition never exist in my dictionary, what's there to oppose if I indeed want the best for my country.

We no dey support losers cos we Sabi.

Sebi una own calling for Nigeria na daily crying, Wailing and gnashing of teeth

Like seriously?

Remember we have huge amount of loans we have to pay back to people who use bikes to work or 4 vehicles. UK prime minister uses only 4 vehicles. While we want to copy America that has massive wealth. We copy Americans on things that don't make sense, but ignore the things that makes sense.
Tinu is scared of what exactly that he has to travel with the whole village guards.

Waste of take payers money.. A leader should lead by example

You ended up making no logical sense other than ill juxtaposed and disgruntled analysis that you ended up agreeing to not knowing the actual composition of the people in the convoy yet you are happy.

Of what significance is 120Cars welcoming one person from the airport in a poverty capital like Nigeria? Can't most them wait for him at his house? What message is he passing, can't we have something different and start doing the right thing like other nations?

This is a man that is coming back from the hospital and made no impact in the summit that he attended,

The only joy is that we suffer it together

Mischief and bitter people
