Senator Remi Tinubu, wife of the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has advised a cleric to speak the truth to leaders rather than insulting the government. This advice came during a recent interaction where she emphasized the importance of constructive criticism.
Tinubu urged that instead of cursing, insulting, or castigating the government, it is more productive to speak the truth and appeal to the conscience of the leaders and citizens. Her words reflect a call for respectful and meaningful engagement with those in power.
This advice is particularly relevant in the current political climate, where various stakeholders are engaging in debates and criticisms about governance and policy implementation. Tinubu’s stance suggests that constructive dialogue can be more effective in driving positive change than outright criticism or insults.
