In an interview, Maduka stated, "...it was like I was comparing Tinubu and Peter... why should I compare light and darkness? On what basis would I be comparing Tinubu with Peter?" His comments highlight the sensitivity of political discourse in Nigeria and the need for thoughtful consideration of language. The interview, which took place in an undisclosed location in Nigeria, underscores the importance of responsible media engagement and the need to avoid inflammatory rhetoric. Maduka's words reflect a broader concern about the tone and tenor of political discussions in Nigeria. His analogy of comparing "light and darkness" effectively captures the inherent difficulty of making simple comparisons between complex political figures and situations.

The need for hope and measured discussion remains crucial for Nigeria's progress.
