Senator Buka Ibrahim : Your sex life is our business - Olakunle Allison

There's nothing like right to privacy for an elected married Senator caught with his pants down having a threesome, if it is true.

There's high moral expectation that comes with public service and leadership. Those who make laws should not only be guiltless under the same laws but blameless as well. Morally unblemished. This is role modelling.

So, making the argument that a married Senator elected by the public shouldn't be subjected to the moral scrutiny of the same public is a shame. His constitutional Right to Privacy must be balanced with his Duty to display exemplary stewardship and moral responsibility.

A sitting Senator is Public Property maintained with public money; hence his or her life must be an open book for Constituents and Voters to read and examine. Here is where the Fourth Estate comes in. To ensure and demand accountability and probity from Public Servants. 

Sadly, in Nigeria we hold our Public Servants - those who live off our common wealth - to the minimum ethical standards. That's why some folks would try to normalize the Senator's moral turpitude, citing his right to privacy. This shows that the arguer doesn't understand what Stewardship and Accountability are about in a Republic.

The 'Privacy' defence simply doesn't work here. That line of defence is bereft of context. Again, he is a sitting Senator, not just any private citizen.

The hullabaloo about Restructuring Nigeria would be an exercise in futility, a dog chasing his own tail, a dance of absurdity IF we don't first restructure our minds to THINK PROPERLY.

Political restructuring without a preceding cultural revolution is merely superficial, not to mention perfunctory.
