Why You Need to Appoint More “M@d Men” in Your Government — Senator Ben Murray-Bruce Tells President Tinubu
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has called on President Bola Tinubu to bring more “m@d men” into his administration, describing them as bold, results-driven individuals willing to challenge entrenched interests and confront Nigeria’s inefficient systems.
Murray-Bruce, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant and senator, made the call in an open letter to Tinubu published on his X account on Wednesday.
The former senator said his support for the administration should not prevent him from offering constructive criticism or suggesting policies that could improve the country.
According to him, genuine support should not amount to sycophancy, stressing that leaders sometimes need people around them who are willing to speak honestly, even when their views may be uncomfortable.
“Mr President, I write this as a supporter of your administration and as a Nigerian who wants you to succeed. But support must never become sycophancy.
“Sometimes, the greatest service a supporter can render is to tell the President what others around him may be too comfortable, or too frightened, to say.
“Mr President, Nigeria needs more m@d men in your government,” he wrote.
Murray-Bruce’s call was based on the need for more courageous and unconventional officials who can drive reforms, question existing practices and deliver measurable results.
