They can see through the president\u2019s actions and recognise that symbolism is not governance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged the president to abandon what he called \u201cBourdillon-style appeasement politics\u201d and instead pursue genuine national inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot patch a broken roof with press statements and photo-ops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou certainly cannot restore public trust by pretending that appointments are a substitute for real commitment to nation-building,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Nigerians, including key political leaders, have condemned Tinubu\u2019s recent appointments for breaching constitutional balance and favouring specific regions over national representation.
