In a sharp critique of President Bola Tinubu's leadership, Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant on Public Communication to former Vice President
In a sharp critique of President Bola Tinubu 's leadership, Phrank Shaibu , Special Assistant on Public Communication to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has likened the fate of Tinubu's once-celebrated political symbol, the broken shackle, to the swastika's historical transformation from a symbol of good fortune to one of oppression.
Similarly, Shaibu argues that the broken shackle, initially seen as a representation of freedom and human rights, has now morphed into a symbol of oppression under Tinubu's leadership. During the campaign, these caps symbolised Tinubu's promise to protect human rights, boost the economy, and replicate Lagos's success across Nigeria.
He further accused Tinubu of building personal wealth by exploiting Lagosians, debunking the widely held belief that Tinubu's governance was responsible for Lagos' economic growth. 'The once-eager vendors who proudly displayed the Emilokan caps at bustling traffic lights and strategic street corners now find themselves burdened by them,' Shaibu pointed out.
According to Shaibu, Tinubu's supporters initially likened him to Awolowo, believing he would follow in the legendary leader's footsteps by delivering a prosperous and inclusive government.'Everyone now knows that Tinubu is not Awolowo,' Shaibu asserted, arguing that the notion of Tinubu as a progressive leader has crumbled in the face of his administration's actions, which appear more focused on personal gain than on the collective good.
