Moghalu Critiques Tinubu's Spokesperson Appointments

Kingsley Moghalu, the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu's decision to appoint former critics of the administration as spokespersons. In a statement following a disastrous interview on Al Jazeera, Moghalu lamented that such appointments portray Nigeria poorly on the global stage, undermining the country's potential.

He argued that the choice of spokespersons often prioritizes political loyalty over competence, which can lead to a lack of credibility in representing the Nigerian government. Moghalu emphasized that credible individuals are essential for enhancing Nigeria's image, especially in light of the country's challenges.

He noted that the interview reflected deeper issues within Nigeria's political culture, which he believes is driven more by power struggles than by clear ideological policies. Moghalu's comments highlight the importance of competent representation in improving Nigeria's international standing.
