The CEO of Patricia, Hanu Fejiro Agbodje, finds himself embroiled in controversy as he faces criticism from Nigerians and Ezra 'God' Olubi, the CTO of Paystack. The uproar stems from allegations that Agbodje attempted to gaslight his followers into bullying a TechCabal journalist who inquired about rumors surrounding Patricia's closure and staff layoffs.
Ezra Olubi took to Twitter to express his condemnation, highlighting the audacity of spending customer funds to project a false image, attributing failures to a supposed "hack," and then engaging in confrontational behavior towards journalists. Olubi's tweet suggests a lack of transparency and accountability within Patricia, raising concerns about the company's practices and integrity.
The incident has sparked a wave of reactions from Nigerians, with many expressing outrage at Agbodje's actions and calling for accountability. The situation underscores the importance of ethical conduct and transparency in the tech industry, particularly concerning customer trust and media relations.
As the controversy unfolds, stakeholders await further developments and responses from Patricia's leadership team.
