📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
Prof. Damian Opata, National Chairman of the South East Movement for Tinubu 2027, has addressed the controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu's remark, 'all is fair in politics.' He emphasized that this statement is not unique to Nigeria, drawing parallels with the saying 'all is fair in love and war' from English literature. Opata acknowledged the Catholic bishops' call for free and fair elections and good governance, while also noting that the responsibility for these ideals should not rest solely on the President. He cautioned that the President's choice of words should reflect the ethical standards expected from his office, as they can influence public perception. Furthermore, he highlighted that political realism and Machiavellian principles are prevalent not only in politics but across various sectors. Opata concluded that while the President's remarks may attract criticism, they also reflect a broader political pragmatism.
