These,Idaresay,nomatterhow well embellished they are with crude jokes, mockery, photos andvideos–realorfake,arenot weighty enough to deny Nigeria the benefits that a TinubuPresidencycanbring.
ItiscommonlysaidthatTinubu isnotagoodpublicspeakerand is slow or sluggish in speech. When God decided to free the childrenofIsraelfromcaptivity in Egypt he chose Moses who was slow in speech and a stammerer. He did not choose anorator.
Despite his self-confessed lack of eloquence, Moses successfully took his people from Egypt, crossed the Red Sea and led them safely to the promisedland. Some say that Tinubu was indictedorconvictedforadrugrelated crime in the United States of America in 1993 but the US government issued a statement in February 2003 to say that their government has no criminal record against Tinubu.
It simply makes no sense for any Nigerian nearly 20 years later to continue to contest or
Anambra is the same state a man governed for 8years where he was savingmoneyinbankwhileerosion destroyed lives and ravaged the people.Amanwhowasgovernorof thatstatefor8yearsanddidnothing to combat erosion is now telling us to give him Nigeria to run. Erosion problemthathastakenover40%of astateiscertainlynotaproblemthat started8yearsago.
Another man was governor when Atlanticoceansurgewasdestroying a prime part of his state and threatening to wash away Victoria Island. It was a perennial annual problem that defied solution and palliativesdecadesbeforethisother man became governor in 1999. He satdownandconceivedabetterand permanentsolutiononhowtoturna contradict the unequivocal official statement clearing Tinubu of links with any crime infarwayUS. huge liability to asset He constructed 8 kilometres seashore protection, invited private sector partner and reclaimed 10 million square metres from sea to build a newcitycalledEkoAtlanticCity–a brand new city that has been described as one of the civil engineeringwondersoftheworld.
To do so is to imply or suggest that the U.S. statement is false, which will be very ridiculous, tosaytheleast.
Again, it beats my imagination that people are insisting that Tinubu must display his primary and secondary school certificates even when he has provided to INEC his Chicago State University certificate, a qualification higher than the minimum required under our Constitution.
The only logical deduction fromalltheseaccusations,even from among many who do not doubttheleadershipacumenof Tinubu,isthattheseareallthey canhangontointheirdesperate oppositiontohiscandidature.
It is the same reason they continue to bandy about allegations in the libellous TV documentary, “The Lion of Bourdillon”, for which its publisher has publicly apologisedtoTinubu.
Inconclusion,mystrongadvice and appeal to Nigerians is that they should disabuse their minds of sentiments, bitterness orhateand,forthegoodofour country, elect a President who can transform Nigeria, not a debatingchampion.
Thattransformationalleader who has demonstrated capacity by a wide margin is SenatorAsiwajuBolaAhmed Tinubu. He is the President thatNigerianeedsin2023.He deservesourvotes.
Between these two men who seek to be President of Nigeria, who offers a better vision for governing a society and solving human problems? The one who savedmoneyinbankwhilepeople perishortheonewhosavedlives, propertiesandcreatedwealthfor people?
Two men and two visions for the future!
