As I found myself immersed in my customary practice of scrolling through Twitter, I unexpectedly came across a tweet that immediately engaged my
attention. It was penned by none other than Jackson Ude, the former Director of Communication and Strategy to the ex-President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. At that very moment, a sense of exasperation washed over me as this encounter resonated with a certain familiarity that I had experienced before. If you spend any length of time on Twitter, you’re likely to have come across his account, so, my reaction to his tweets shouldn’t come as a surprise.
One would have hoped that Jackson Ude had learned from his previous episodes with conspiracy theories and fake news. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case. This time, he has beamed his lens toward Teins Jack-Rich, a Presidential aspirant of the All Progress Congress who voluntarily withdrew from the race in favour of the current President after a closely fought primary.
Beyond the realm of political and personal motivations, this situation highlights a disturbing pattern of misogyny and slut-shaming. Jackson Ude, in his pursuit of attention and influence, seems to be fully aware of the damaging impact such baseless accusations can have on a woman’s integrity. He understands how easily people can accept and perpetuate false narratives about women based on hearsay and unfounded allegations.
This string of accusations is far from isolated. It reflects a calculated and concerted effort by Jackson Ude to tarnish Jack-Rich’s reputation through any means possible. It is disheartening to witness the lengths Ude is willing to go in slinging mud, hoping some of it will stick. Sitting down after a long day of work, I couldn’t help but ponder the motives behind the relentless hate campaign unleashed against a remarkable individual like Jack-Rich. The answer seemed within reach.
