🧐 Are we witnessing a double standard in leadership? Farooq A. Kperogi's article sheds light on the Tinubu presidency's selective outrage towards different voices in our society.

Engage in discussions, ask questions, and advocate for equitable treatment across all sectors. Together, we can encourage a more responsive government.
