Dr. Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, has clarified that it is not inappropriate for the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, and the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, to examine each other's criminal or public service histories in the lead-up to the 2027 presidential election.
Amidst a heated political battle, wherein Atiku has accused Tinubu of being nearly 90 years old and investigating his alleged involvement in illegal substances in the US, Tinubu's administration has revived old corruption allegations against Atiku, stemming from his time as Vice President. However, Dr. Amadi asserts that there's no issue with this practice, stating that it is a crucial element of politics.
He emphasized this point to Arise News, arguing that politics shouldn't be overly sanitized to the point of avoiding discussions about policies. He further highlighted that leadership success isn't solely dependent on policies but also on character, competence, and policy effectiveness. He explained, "Even the best policy will fail under corrupt and incompetent leadership."
