See the tweet below and some reactions.
“Reap where you do not sow? How pathetic can you sound? This is public service not your father’s business. We will never move forward with this narrative you lots are spreading. Africa needs real leaders with things to offer.
“It is becoming the norm. Tinubu fed them that rubbish narrative with his “serving power a la carte” wisdom. Go invest your time and money into your business if you want to propagate such rubbish narrative.”
Reacting an online user commented:
“Politicians are one of the most crooked set of people you can come across. They’re a bunch of hypocrites. They don’t give a toss about the people they’re supposed to serve. They only care about themselves and their mates.
“Most African politicians don’t even hide the fact that they’re corrupt. They’re brazen, they are. They’ll steal and loot and embezzle without any shame or remorse. The only reason and time they speak up is when it’s not in their favour. When they’re caught or exposed or challenged, they’ll start to whine and moan and lie.
“They make Heraclitus’ concept of change hit deep. He said that everything is in flux, that nothing stays the same, that you can’t step in the same river twice. Opposites are connected!
“Well, African politicians are like that. They change their statement and views as long as they’re benefiting from a certain thing. They’ll say one thing today and another thing tomorrow. They’ll be for something when it suits them and against it when it doesn’t. They’ll be friends with someone when it helps them and enemies with them when it hurts them. They have no principles, no integrity.”
