Niger Delta-born human rights activist and development advocate Chief Sheriff Mulade has called on political job seekers to stop distracting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and state governors from focusing on good governance for Nigerians.
The renowned peace and environmental justice advocate made the appeal at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, recently to Nigerians, particularly highly influenced individuals whom he alleged were doing so for their selfish interests to protect their political positions.
He said, “I appeal to highly placed Nigerians to stop distracting the President and Governors over 2027 general elections that are still over two years away, because of their selfish interest to protect their positions and contracts, to the detriment of our development.’
Chief Mulade, who is the Ibe Serimowei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom in the Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta state, noted that President Tinubu has only done less than two years in office and is yet to deliver on his mandate.
He noted that such mischievous endorsements from political jobbers are not helping the President but only serving as a source of distraction, which he does not need now.
“It is imperative to state that the President is barely about two years in office, and has not delivered on his electioneering promises, but he is being distracted by persons who are promoting their selfish interest rather than the good of the masses,” he added.
The peace ambassador, therefore, called on all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above personal gains and to beware of actions that are detrimental to the well-being of the masses and the country.
He urged President Tinubu to be wary of eye service supporters and praise singers and to beam his focus on the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration to end insecurity, hunger, bad governance, oppression of the masses and bad economy in Nigeria.
“It is worthy of note that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR does not need these distractive and mischievous political endorsements to be re-elected if he delivers on his promises to Nigerians,” said the peace advocate.
