JUST IN: You Lack Sense, You’re Very Stupid—Governor Bago Blasts Protocol Officer At Public Event
Governor Mohammed Umar Bago of Niger State is under crîticism after he publicly attacked his Director of Protocol, Abdullahi Yarima, during an official meeting of the Security Council that took place in Minna.
It was just as the governor was arriving for the meeting when the incident took place.
According to witnesses, he grew enraged since the protocol arrangement was not carried out in the appropriate manner.
After that, he uttered several angry remarks towards the official in front of other members of the government and members of the security staff.
“Yarima, you lack sense, you are very stupid for not playing a table properly,” he said.
Some of the people who were there at the ceremony were taken aback by the circumstance.
The attitude of the governor has been regarded as unprofessional by a number of individuals.
They think that a leader should maintain their composure in public, even when they are required to make mistakes.
Residents of Niger State have voiced their dissatisfaction with the activities, stating that they can be discouraging to those who work in the government service.
They believe that it has the potential to instill fear in the workplace and to diminish trust in the leadership of the government.
Another school of thought maintains that differences ought to be resolved in a respectful and private manner.
It is not the first time that Governor Bago has been related to controversy over this particular occurrence.
In the beginning of the year 2025, he was subjected to criticism after he made statements with the intention of paying graduate helpers to work on his farm. Many individuals questioned the veracity of his claims.
During the same time period, he was also accused of ordering the arrest of a student activist named Isah Mokwa due to a misunderstanding that occurred.
As a result of these previous incidents, concerns have been raised regarding his leadership style and temperament.
According to political commentators, the most recent outburst may only serve to exacerbate popular concerns around responsibility in government.
They point out that elected politicians are expected to set an example for others to follow.
