Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has stated that he was shocked by the remarks some ambassadorial nominees made against President Bola Tinubu in the past.
Speaking via his 𝕏 account on Thursday, he wondered how the individuals in question could use such intense language against Tinubu and later turn around to accept crumbs from him.
He argued that if someone feel such intense emotion towards a person, then it would only be fair to stay away from the individual.
Moghalu wrote: “I am chilled to the bones when I see what some of today’s @officialABAT ambassadorial nominees have written and said about him in the past. I am not a political partisan for or against President Tinubu.
“It’s quite OK to disagree with people politically and even on principle, and perhaps later have a change of mind.
“But the kind of extreme, personally abusive, and invective-loaded language these people have used to describe a human being, and then later turn around and accept crumbs from the subject of the abuse, is staggering.
“At least, if you feel that strongly not just about issues, but about a person, then stay in your lane, for God’s sake.
“To go to such extremes just because of fleeting political opposition (or ‘crumbflakes’ dropping at the moment) and then eat your own vomit speaks far more, I think, about the speaker or writer than about the person spoken of or written about, without conferring sainthood on anyone! If some people say Nigeria is a ‘zoo,’ we will say THEY are abusive in their use of language. My two pence.”
