PoliticsAtiku: Tinubu’s Style Of Presidential Pardon Emboldens Criminality by Ofunaofu(op): 7:23pm On Oct 12, 2025
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has described the recent presidential pardon by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a reckless act that emboldens criminality.

Atiku, in a post on his social media platforms, said as expected, the development has “provoked outrage across the nation.”

Atiku explained that ordinarily, the power of presidential pardon is a solemn prerogative, “a moral and constitutional instrument designed to temper justice with mercy and to underscore the humanity of the state. When properly exercised, it elevates justice and strengthens public faith in governance.

“Regrettably, the latest pardon issued by the Tinubu administration has done the very opposite. The decision to extend clemency to individuals convicted of grave crimes such as drug trafficking, kidnapping, murder, and corruption not only diminishes the sanctity of justice but also sends a dangerous signal to the public and the international community about the values this government upholds.”

The opposition leader noted that at a time when Nigeria continues to reel under the weight of insecurity, moral decay, and a surge in drug-related offences, “it is both shocking and indefensible that the presidency would prioritize clemency for those whose actions have directly undermined national stability and social order.

“Particularly worrisome is the revelation that 29.2% percent of those pardoned were convicted for drug-related crimes at a time when our youth are being destroyed by narcotics, and our nation is still struggling to cleanse its image from the global stain of drug offences.

“Even more disturbing is the moral irony that this act of clemency is coming from a President whose own past remains clouded by unresolved and unexplained issues relating to the forfeiture of thousands of dollars to the United States government over drug-related investigations.”

Atiku, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, added it was no surprise that this administration continued to demonstrate a worrying tolerance for individuals associated with criminal enterprise.

He argued that “A presidential pardon is meant to symbolize restitution and moral reform. Instead, what we have witnessed is a mockery of the criminal justice system, an affront to victims, a demoralization of law enforcement, and a grave injury to the conscience of the nation.


“Clemency must never be confused with complicity. When a government begins to absolve offenders of the very crimes it claims to be fighting, it erodes the moral authority of leadership and emboldens lawlessness.

“Nigeria deserves a leadership that upholds justice, not one that trivializes it.”

PoliticsCurrent Hardship Affecting Nigerians Mentally – Obi by Ofunaofu(op): 4:41pm On Oct 12, 2025
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has alleged that the current hardship being experienced in the country is mentally affecting Nigerians.

Obi, also a former Governor of Anambra State, lamented what he described as troubling and deepening mental health crises in the country, saying that poverty and unemployment have pushed many Nigerians into criminality.

He stated this in a tweet on his X handle while commemorating Mental Health Day, which is celebrated every October 10.

He said, “As the world celebrates Mental Health Day this weekend, it is troubling to note that a nation like Nigeria has deepening mental health crises which recent report from World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that about 40 million people are living with mental health conditions, and grossly fewer doctors to attend to mental health, as fewer than 300 psychiatrists are available in the country.

“This clearly shows Nigeria’s growing disinterest and neglect of the health sector. Mental health is more important than physical health. Nigerians are now feeling so overwhelmed by hardship that they are mentally affected. Poverty, unemployment, and the daily battle to survive have pushed many of our people, especially the youth, into hopelessness, criminality and an increasing rate of suicide.”

He called on government to address poverty, unemployment and hunger, describing them as contributing factors to mental health problem.

“The government must treat this as a public health emergency. Nigeria needs more mental health professionals and a massive investment in mental health infrastructure with well-equipped psychiatric hospitals in all geopolitical zones.

We must also address the issues of poverty, unemployment and hunger that are contributing to this mental problem and build a nation that heals, uplifts, and gives every citizen a reason to live.

“Nigeria’s progress will never be measured by the wealth of its leaders but by human capital, which is the well-being of its people.” he added

The ASUU strike is inevitable.

This is what you get when a government is obviously incompetent, fail woefully and spectacularly and then chooses to engage in lies, falsehood, and propaganda.

The Tinubu administration played the game of lies, falsehood, and propaganda with this issue. First, they denied that there was any agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU, in their usual manner of passing the buck describing the referenced documents as merely proposals. But when they were called out, they backtracked.

The question is, why were they borrowing and indebting their states back then, even with little infrastructural development, if you claim the money then had more value?
Now, every state governor has reduced their debt profile and is undertaking massive infrastructural development with the "tissue paper"

Again, why are they not owing salaries now unlike before?
Is the Tinubu government not engaging in mindless borrowing even borrowing far more than previous administrations despite no longer paying fuel subsidies and claiming it has met its revenue targets and is?

What infrastructure development are you even referring to? Is it the so-called Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway a project shrouded in secrecy, where the Minister of Works, who fraudulently claimed to be a professor, only backtracked when exposed by saying he’s a professor in practice? Up till now, they’ve refused to tell Nigerians the cost per kilometer. It’s nothing more than a fraudulent, money-laundering scheme disguised as infrastructure.

The court has since declared that IPOB is not a terrorist group, but you are not concerned about that because it doesn’t serve your jaundiced, hypocritical bigotry. We all know the real terrorist organization as was declared internationally by a Canadian court.

No wonder, Gbajue dey lose more members everyday, you can't have these type of low level thinkers as followers and the reasonable ones won't abandon the cult group. But I know if Gbajue was the one that granted this pardon, ipob will be hailing him as the best thing after slice bread..but the finishing specialist will never be President ipob sef.
Gbajue this, Gbajue that, we all know who is the real Gbajue. well, I see that your obsession is loud. You talk more about him than his actual supporters. Must be tough when the only way to justify your Tinubu incompetent actions is to drag someone else who isn't even in power.

As for IPOB and sliced bread nice attempt at distraction. But no amount of tribal dog whistles will change the fact: bad judgment is bad judgment, no matter who signs the paper

Yet another overseas trip.

What has Nigeria achieved from Tinubu's globe-trotting adventures so far? Absolutely nothing. Each trip seems to be a cover for seeking medical attention in foreign hospitals, while he hasn’t built a single world-class hospital since becoming president. When there’s no legitimate reason to travel, they invent one and call it a working visit, just another excuse to waste Nigeria’s scarce resources on medical tourism.
