Tinubu’s cap design now symbol of authoritarianism – Atiku’s aide

Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Communications to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said the emblem on President Bola Tinubu’s cap has become a symbol of oppression.

Shaibu stated this in a statement titled “De-cap-itated!” released on Monday.

He said Tinubu has failed Nigerians, including his own supporters, after one year in office. Referring to Tinubu’s pre-election claim that the cap design represented a “broken shackle.”

Shaibu said the Tinubu has yet to break the chains of poverty.

He stated that the cap, once a highly sought-after item, has now become a burden for merchants selling it and a symbol of embarrassment for Tinubu’s supporters.

“During the campaign, these caps symbolised Tinubu’s promise to protect human rights, boost the economy, and replicate Lagos’s success across Nigeria.

“The once-eager vendors who proudly displayed the Emilokan caps at bustling traffic lights and strategic street corners now find themselves burdened by them.

“Once a sought-after item, the caps have become an embarrassing relic for many of Tinubu’s supporters, representing broken promises and a political regime that has shifted towards authoritarianism.

“The disappointment with Tinubu’s administration extends beyond the political sphere,” he stated.
