ENDSARS PANEL: My Tentative Comment – Richard Akinnola

While l was away, l read quite a number of reactions to the Endsars panel unsigned report shared online. What l have been able to distil are emotive reactions, rather than a dispassionate analysis of the report. At the end, emotive reactions ended up obfuscating the real issues. The fact is that if people have made up their minds over an issue, it is immaterial if there are compelling contrary facts. In mass communications theory, it is called selective perception. When emotions are high, reason takes flight.

Tinubu and EFCC – Richard Akinnola

No man is above the law, including Tinubu. If there are reasons to investigate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, it is within the purview of the EFCC to do. However, perception in most cases, is stronger than reality. Tinubu left office 14 years ago. For the EFCC to suddenly wake up now and be asking the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for Tinubu’s asset declaration forms, reeks of all ingredients of conspiracy theory, particularly against the backdrop of his suspected presidential ambition. I recall that Jonathan government made a similar stunt with the same CCB, leading to the trial and acquittal of Tinubu at the Code of conduct Tribunal.
