A former presidential spokesperson and political analyst, Mr. Laolu Akande, has dismissed fears surrounding Professor Pat Utomi’s proposed shadow government, describing it as a harmless expression of political thought rather than a threat to national security.
Akande made the remarks on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, where he addressed the viability of Nigeria’s political opposition and the recent response by the Department of State Services to Utomi’s comments.
Reacting to reports that the DSS viewed Utomi’s idea as potentially unlawful, Akande said security operatives should focus on more pressing concerns.
