Yet, Odinkalu noted, nearly all ministers and governors were in the United Kingdom, attending a ceremony to welcome President Tinubu, while ordinary Nigerians faced life-threatening danger at home.
The former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission expressed deep dismay over what he described as a misalignment of priorities, stressing that leaders must be present and responsive when citizens are under threat. His posts have reignited a nationwide debate on government accountability, emergency preparedness, and the responsibility of officials to protect their people first.
