Aregbesola and Decorum in Making Public Speeches

By Professor Yusuf Dankofa

The case of Alhaji Rauf Aregbesola that says Tinubu is trying to play God and that he even plans evil for Osun State because he is not supporting his candidate is a bit unnerving.

How can someone make you a commissioner in a state that you do not belong to for eight years, made you a governor by the grace of God and with his influence and goodwill, you became a Minister of the Republic and be making such intemperate and unguarded statements about your benefactor.

When you were a commissioner, he wasn’t evil, when you were governor he wasn’t playing God, now that you have achieved all the achievable within the political firmament, Tinubu is now evil.

I am not a political suporter of Asiwaju Tinubu, but if truth be told, Asiwaju is one man that has empowered so many politically more than any other political giant within the ruling class.

Even if Ogbeni Rauf disagree with him, there is what we call decorum in making public speeches.

You cannot come to the public and deride your political benefactor; that is an act of ingratitude and direspect.

For all those that Tinubu propped up, the least you can do for him is to give him an unmitigated respect even if you will disagree with him.
