Special Assistant on Fb Public Communication to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 polls, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Phrank Shaibu, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu has resorted to appointing his critics into government as part of a plot to silence the opposition.
He faulted Tinubu’s recent appointment of a tax expert and vocal government critic, Taiwo Oyedele, as head of his tax reform committee.
The Atiku aide, who said this in Abuja, yesterday, pointed out that Tinubu’s constant meetings with key opposition figures “were being done to seeksilencecy and surreptitiously silencing credible critical voices.”
He said, “The recent appointment of Taiwo Oyedele, a tax expert at PwC, was only a ploy to get him to stop speaking about the government’s failures as he had been doing almost daily on television, radio, and social media.”
