Today, Nigeria is in dire need of an expert who has wide experience in how to put things in place to make a great nation we all dreamt of. This is what prompted me to agitate for the emergence of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu because he has the qualities of leadership that the country needed the most at this trying time.
Why did the Yorubas say: “the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know”? Because they believe that the devil is just like an enemy and an Angel a friend. Thus an enemy that you already know with its devilish plan can be easily avoided than a friend who shows you white when it’s actually black, but because he is a trusted ally, you will never have an iota of doubt against him.
However, Bola Tinubu is a different case. He is a God-sent angel that is widely received and recognized in every household in the country, Nigeria. He effortlessly shouldered the responsibility of building the youth and gave them an opportunity to thrive progressively. The welfare of the students is also of utmost importance to him. Hence, he is an angel we know that is better than the devil we don’t know.
Why should Asiwaju be my president? Permit me to do a surgical operation to this question that has been lingering in my mind for a while. Convincingly, Asiwaju track records are the most outstanding record of all the candidates for 2023 general election. In a country that’s in dire need of poverty-reducts, problem-solvers and technocrats, Bola Tinubu has shown a leadership trait and capacity building that portrayed him to be the favorite for the top seat in this country. The transformation enjoyed and continue to enjoining by Lagos State is all thanks to him who has developed the status of the state himself and continue to developing it through his successors.
Hitherto, the country has been clamouring for a visionary leader who with the sense of imaginations will create enduring job opportunity and security for all Nigerians. When Asiwaju was asked about what he is going do differently to make the life and properties of Nigerians more secured if eventually elected as a President in 2023 general election. He said,”mass recruitment of individual in a volunteer army”. He also stretched further that his administration will focused more on the economic recovery and accelerated development taking Lagos as typical example. It’s truly visible to the blind, the transformation of Lagos economic from 600 million to 500 billion In a month. All these achievements are pointing all fingers to what a man from bourdillon can do for this country.
According to a report by The Nation on October 2022, titled ‘The Strength Of Lagos’, ” Lagos is Nigeria’s richest state, producing about $90 billion a year in goods and services, making its economy bigger than that of most African countries, including Ghana and Kenya. (The Economist). The transformation of Lagos started during the tenure of Bola Tinubu, Lagos State governor from 1999 to 2007. (Kingsley Ighobor, United Nations Journal, ‘African Renewal’ April 2016 edition).
Tinubu administration will focus on youth development programme when given the opportunity to serve as a president come 2023 general election, testimony is on his Youth’s Development Programme that birth annual ‘One Day Governor’ through the annual spelling bee for secondary school students organized by New Era Foundation which was promoted by his wife, Oluremi Tinubu. With this, it is no more a gainsaying that Tinubu’s administration is youth inclusiveness and if elected will focus more on youth development programme.
Today, Nigeria is in dire need of an expert who has wide experience in how to put things in place to make a great nation we all dreamt of. This is what prompted me to agitate for the emergence of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu because he has the qualities of leadership that the country needed the most at this trying time.
