Social media platforms have become a hotbed for discussions, debates, and exchanges of ideas, providing a space for individuals to express their opinions freely. However, with this freedom comes the responsibility to maintain respectful and constructive dialogue. Recently, a well-known activist, Kayode Ogundamisi, found himself at the center of controversy after making a hypocritical comment on Twitter. This sparked a wave of criticism from netizens, who called out the activist's inconsistency and challenged the integrity of his statements.

Kayode Ogundamisi, who has been an active voice on social and political issues, tweeted a statement that contradicted his previous stance on the topic. His tweet read, "😶‍🌫️ E get some matter wey even those of us wey support the Buhari government no dey put mouth, we just shushhh and lick our wounds behind the scene. I'm suprised Brother @akandeoj didn't deem it wise to take the back seat in this Godwin Emefiele matter. E lenu oro ni matter yi" in response to a tweet made by Laolu Akande, former spokesperson to former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday night.

Akande had taken to Twitter to tweet "It was about time d CBN Governor faced suspension & investigation. All people of goodwill & those who value integrity, irrespective of political leanings would be thankful for this development. Emefiele was given a long rope, but he failed to redeem himself. His shenanigans..."

Ogundamisi's statement immediately caught the attention of Twitter users who recalled his past statements in support of similar actions during the era of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Tweeps wasted no time in responding to Ogundamisi's tweet, accusing him of hypocrisy. Many users pointed out that the activist had often blindly supporting the actions and inactions of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration under who Emefiele initiated the said naira redesign policy.

Furthermore, tweeps pointed out specific instances where Ogundamisi had previously defended individuals who had made controversial statements.

One tweep, Uzo Dan-Macaulay said "There is a time for everything! Bro Ogundamisi too will know that in government, there are different levels of concerns which can be voiced or not till a particular time depending on your level of engagement. Akande can only say this now for the men of goodwill to act as he said."

@Kobomoje wrote "'Lick our wounds behind the scene' this is what I've been doing privately these days despite being far from the govt. Now imagine someone right in the thick of things. Very shameless."

@gozlin001 said "Blind loyalty destroys National growth."

The reactions of the tweeps fueled the perception that his recent tweet was a departure from his principles and a betrayal of the values he claimed to uphold.

The backlash against Ogundamisi's comment extended beyond accusations of hypocrisy. Some Twitter users raised concerns about the activist's credibility and questioned his motivations. They argued that his sudden change in stance suggested a selective application of principles, and it raised doubts about the genuineness of his activism.

Tweeps questioned whether Ogundamisi's stance was influenced by political affiliations or personal biases. They criticized him for failing to maintain a consistent moral compass and suggested that his opinions were subject to manipulation based on the prevailing narrative or his own self-interest.

The incident involving activist Ogundamisi's hypocritical comment on Twitter serves as a reminder of the importance of consistency and integrity in public discourse. Social media users have shown their willingness to hold individuals accountable for their statements, especially when they appear to contradict previously held beliefs.

After reading what Mr. Modibbo wrote, I waited patiently for him to retract such a poor attempt at rebuttal, but his silence since the piece was published in his name could be interpreted as confirmation that he truly issued the aforementioned statement in response to the aforementioned investigative stories.

In the contest for power, leadership elites must not toy with prejudices that alienate or divide any section of the country, rather they should conduct themselves with a high sense of responsibility in order to build a new Nigeria where there is justice, equity and shared prosperity.

Besides, deliberate efforts have to be taken to deal with ethnic profiling and prejudices before they influence political contests.

These were some of the highlights of the speech delivered today by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, at the maiden Policy Making and Good Governance Lecture Series of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Plateau State.
