A court’s decision to remand an activist for allegedly insulting Seyi Tinubu and IGP Egbetokun sparked comparisons between Buhari’s and Tinubu’s administrations. One comment read, “She can’t try this during Buhari’s regime, even then Sahara Reporters was always being careful not to step on toes.”
Such comparisons reflect differing perceptions of leadership but oversimplify the complexities of governance. While free speech should be protected, every administration faces scrutiny over its handling of dissent. The focus should remain on ensuring justice, accountability, and the protection of fundamental rights, regardless of who is in power.
