Tendencies being exhibited by President Bola Tinubu, with extreme and brazen use of power, are typical of the ‘real democrat’. Olawale Olaleye writes.
Put aside the details of the etymology and definition of the word democrat, and begin to cast your mind back to certain persons in this word class, who had been privileged and entrusted with legitimate elective mandates, for a more lucid engagement.
Without racing back to the benighted days, you would see that the definition and the description of a democrat as contained in the books are often inconsistent with the actual democrat in real life, in terms of choices and attitudinal dispositions.
