Sheriff Akintunde, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on on Bureau of Social Services, to Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has described President Bola Tinubu as a pretentious moralist who does not practice what he preaches.
Akintunde in a post on his Facebook page, claimed Tinubu has demonstrated to be worse off, adding that
everything the former governor of Lagos State is doing now is much worse than what he accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of.
According to the governor’s aide, the president had allegedly ordered the payment of the withheld local government allocations of the state to the private pockets of chairmen elected under the APC.
Akintunde said Tinubu has taken democratic gains in Nigeria downwardly, adding that the president was the opposite of what democracy represents to Nigerians.
He wrote, “Bola Tinubu is a pretentious moralist and pseudo democrat. Everything he accused Obasanjo of he has demonstrated to be worse off. The Supreme Court dissolved LCDAs yet elections were conducted into LCDAs at his backyard in Lagos.
“Yet the toothless AGF said nothing and did nothing in the face of the constitutional override. Come down to Osun State, the same Tinubu has allegedly authorised payment of public funds into private pockets of his party members who have since been sacked from the courts. To imagine that this brazen action happened during the pendency of subject litigation before the Supreme Court of Nigeria makes it alarming. In the belief of an average Nigerian Tinubu is an anathema to Democracy.
“Obasanjo was President. Late Yaradua was President. Jonathan was President. Late Buhari was President, and they are all not barren. Non really abdicated state powers to their Sons. Seyi Tinubu follows his Father everywhere, almost on all official missions, and you will wonder if we are running family governance in the Country. There was a time the President’s Son was even seen at the Federal Executive Council chamber where the FEC was holding a meeting. Unarguably, Tinubu has taken democratic gains in Nigeria downwardly. The military was nicer sadly.”
