The Presidency has reacted after former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, threw his weight behind corps member, Ushie Uguamaye, known as Raye, who criticised the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Recall that the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a statement drummed support for Raye. He further described Raye as a shining emblem of Nigerian youth.

“I deeply admire her boldness and wisdom—her fearless resolve to speak truth to power, undeterred by the weight of opposition,” it read in part.

Reacting to Atiku’s call, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, on his Facebook handle, on Sunday, said it was poor politics for the former Vice President to drum support for Raye.

He wrote: “A former Vice President of a country and perennial presidential contestant who will likely run to be President at 80, in another two years from now, should not be seen supporting and celebrating bad behaviour and indiscipline by a Corps member who breached her code of conduct.

“This is not a matter of free speech and right of expression. NYSC is a regimented service with strict code of behaviour.

“Members of the armed forces, police, paramilitary institutions and Civil servants are citizens with rights and freedom of expression, yet their rules of engagement forbid them from publicly speaking against government.

“Anyone that wants to be a deviant should be ready to face the consequences. It is poor politics for a former Vice President of Nigeria – a symbol of authority to endorse any form of bad behaviour no matter how convenient.”

Wherever bad people want to chase this girl to, it wont change a thing, this will be her stepping stone to greatness, like the Afghan girl shot because of her activism some years ago, this girl might end up addressing Presidents at the UN.
