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. --- Let me know if you'd like to add any specific angles, include Edupost branding, or adjust the tone!
