City Boys Are Just Social Media Showboys” — Critic Says Southeast Neglected by Tinubu’s Administration
The analyst said
Again, they are not politicians but business people and entertainers whose sphere of influence ends on social media alone. They have no hold on the grassroots.
In fact, they don’t even accept poor people within their circle. Only their fellow billionaires hang around them. Tell me one person among their circle who is poor, underprivileged, or less influential? None!
Politics deals more with the grassroots, not solely with social media influence or the circle of billionaires or influential people. The City boys are social media showboys; they can’t make much impact outside social media.”
Let’s begin with his political appointments; the Southeast has been clearly sidelined. In terms of policies and developments, there is no properly mapped out plan for the southeast; nothing much to show that Tinubu’s government has a strong presence there.
Tinubu’s indifference towards the trial and incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB movement leader, is another shot on his foot. His intervention would have made him a hero in the Southeast, but he chose to be neutral, whereas known terrorists and bandits in the north are under the federal government’s subvention.”
