Opposition Parties Should Embrace Constructive Criticism, Not Incitement – Olatunbosun Oyintiloye

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye has come out to urge opposition parties in Nigeria to refrain from making statements that could incite the public against the government.

He recently had his say while speaking to journalists in Osogbo, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, while opposition parties have the constitutional right to hold the government accountable, their criticism should not destabilize the country or create unnecessary distractions for the Federal Government.

He added that constructive criticism, rather than destructive rhetoric, is essential for fostering good governance.

His words, “The truth is that we don’t have any other country except Nigeria, and that is why we need to play the role of opposition reasonably.

Making comments that could incite the masses against the government in the name of politics is unpatriotic and should be avoided.

Members of opposition parties have the right to criticise the government, but such criticism should be constructive to assist the government in achieving its best for the people.

Constructive criticism is about appreciating good policies and highlighting drawbacks—not despising the policies and programmes of the government.

If done in good faith, it will uphold the true essence of democracy, improve the quality of governance, and create a better society.”

WOW.
