Eshiorameh Sebastian argues that by voluntary resignation of Uche Nnaji as minister demonstrated a profound strength of character
It is a rare event in Nigerian politics that commands a unified silence, a moment that cuts through the cacophony of accusations and counter-accusations to present a simple, undeniable act.
The resignation of Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji from his position as the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology was one such event. In the days leading to that decision, the Nigerian media space was utterly dominated by a single narrative: that of allegations of certificate forgery levelled against the minister. It was a storm of impressive ferocity, a drama that seemed to leave no room for any other perspective. Yet, in choosing to step aside, Chief Nnaji himself authored a different, more compelling narrative.
