On Saturday, February 3, 2024, Farotimi tweeted that supporting Tinubu is akin to “self-denudement,” implying that it is impossible to stand up for him without embarrassing oneself.

Farotimi has been an outspoken opponent of the 1999 Constitution and the Nigerian system. He is a member of the Citizens’ Rally against Oppression (RAMINBA). Additionally, he served as a spokesman for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for president in 2023. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
