I think we are here today because institutions like @NhrcNigeria which Prof. Odinkalu led for years have failed to do their jobs as much as successive presidents. Everybody can see how @TundeIrukera is magnifying the reach & effectiveness of @fccpcnigeria, taking down bad guys...

Powerful companies which tried to extort citizens thru price gouging during #COVID19 are facing trial now. He cld have buckled to pressure & left them alone.
How many rogue or killer policemen did @NhrcNigeria put away during Prof's time? Or was he ignorant of SARS atrocities?

Institutional social engineering by specialised agencies & MDAs works better & faster than actions from the top in keeping democracies sane, cf 1st World countries. They can work here too if people entrusted with critical jobs in the public interest did them well & courageously.
For example, @NhrcNigeria can run an ongoing sting operation on corrupt policemen, try them in batches of thousands, have them convicted & dismissed en masse & no President can stop it. Once other officers see that retribution is sure & quick, they will adjust & society wins.
Which special powers did the late amazon, #ProfDoraAkunyili have before she took a dead @NafdacAgency and forged it into an #Excalibur she wielded against fake drugs & their proprietors in #Nigeria? Years after her exit & later, death, those merchants of death cannot recover.
Persons who did public service without changing the lot of citizens in their area should not have to lecture us on how to do it better. Whatever you say, @NhrcNigeria has operated below installed capacity for all of its existence thus contributing to #EndSARS
End.
End.
