Controversy as Tinubu’s Aide Calls for Death Penalty Over NYSC Member’s Criticism



Temitope Ajayi, a media aide to Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has ignited public outrage after calling for the execution of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Ushie 'Raye' Uguamaye, over her criticism of the president.


The NYSC member reportedly referred to President Tinubu as a "terrible leader," prompting Ajayi to demand severe punishment, citing NYSC’s code of conduct. In a now-viral comment, Ajayi emphasized that such criticism constitutes a violation of the oath taken by corps members and deserves capital punishment, a term he used to describe the maximum disciplinary action under NYSC rules.


Ajayi’s Statement Sparks Public Outrage

Ajayi stated:

“That is capital punishment under NYSC. You can’t abuse the country you are serving... She should be punished to the fullest extent not just warning. She chose to be silly, then she should face the consequences.”


His remarks have been widely condemned on social media, with many Nigerians expressing disbelief over the severity of his proposed punishment. Twitter users (now X) reacted sharply, questioning why terrorists like Boko Haram are rehabilitated while a corps member could be threatened with death for expressing a personal opinion.


Some notable reactions include:

- Victor Olá: “Death penalty for insulting Tinubu? Tinubu na God now? Is insulting him blasphemy?”

- TheBetInvestor: “Rehabilitate terrorists, but death penalty for Corps member who only stated what millions of Nigerians are passing through. Got it.”

- CryptoFuse: “Copper deserves death penalty, Boko haram deserve amnesty.”


Debate on Free Speech and Authority

This incident has stirred a larger debate about freedom of speech, especially under a democratic government. Critics argue that citizens, including NYSC members, should have the right to voice their opinions without fear of extreme retaliation.


Others, however, believe that discipline within NYSC should be maintained, though not to the extent of capital punishment. One user suggested a 3–6 month service extension as a more reasonable consequence.


CONCLUSION

This controversy highlights the tension between government authority and citizen rights in Nigeria. While public officials expect respect, many Nigerians feel the right to criticize leadership is essential for democracy. Temitope Ajayi’s statement, whether literal or exaggerated, has thrown a spotlight on the fine line between discipline and oppression in public discourse.

How much MTN bosses get paid

How much MTN bosses get paid MTN Group CEO Rob Shuter was paid R58.2-million in the 2019 financial year, a 35.7% increase on his total remuneration for 2018, but even these generous rewards were not enough to keep him — he announced on 11 March that he would step down in a year’s time. Shuter earned a base salary of R17.3-million, according to the group’s 2019 integrated report, which was published on Tuesday. On top of that, he received R1.8-million in post-employment benefits; R1.1-million in “other benefits”; R27.6-million in bonuses; and R10.4-million long-term incentives, which vested in December 2019. Chief financial officer Ralph Mupita, who is regarded as a strong candidate to take the reins from Shuter when he steps down next year, took home even more: total remuneration of a whopping R66.3-million.

Shock Move: MC Tagwaye Dumps APC for SDP – Here's Why

MC Tagwaye's Bold Political Move In the ever-evolving political landscape of Nigeria, individuals often find themselves at a crossroads where they must make difficult yet necessary decisions. Obinna Simon, popularly known as MC Tagwaye, recently took such a step by resigning from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joining the Social Democratic Party (SDP). This decision, according to him, was driven by his unwavering commitment to the progress and welfare of the Nigerian people. For months, MC Tagwaye engaged in deep consultations and introspection, evaluating the direction of his political journey. His conclusion was clear: the APC had deviated from its founding ideals and was no longer a platform that aligned with his vision for Nigeria. He cited a lack of a proper reward system for loyal members, an aging leadership structure that suppresses young voices, and policies that continue to place financial burdens on low-income earners. In his words, these issues collectively mar...
