The Role of the Opposition in Meeting Nigeria’s Challenges


OVERVIEW
Nigeria’s Continental and International Importance

“Nigeria is important to Africa and to the world.” Steve McDonald, the Director of the Africa Program and the Project on Leadership and Building State Capacity, remarked that despite the country’s integral economic and political significance in continental and international arenas, there is still destabilizing internal discord between Nigerians and their government. “There is an unfortunate residence of inequality in Nigeria,” stated McDonald, and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Executive Governor of Lagos State and current National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and his party demonstrate how the presence of a viable opposition can balance the governing power.

Tinubu’s Leadership of the ACN

“Nigeria is its people and they are some of the most entrepreneurial, ingenious, hardworking people that I have ever met. I am a big believer in Nigeria, even in the worst of times.” Howard F. Jeter , former U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, used his introduction of Tinubu as an opportunity to stress how, during his ambassadorship, he realized that “Nigeria is the essential country in Africa and what happens in Nigeria will impact the entire continent.” According to Jeter, Tinubu’s leadership of the ACN, the principal opposition, has resulted in a remarkable change in the party administration’s performance and efficacy because of his direction and mobilization of the population. The ACN has emerged as a major force in Nigerian politics due to its devotion to serving the people, accountability and coherence of discourse and structure. Jeter commended Tinubu for not only being a man who is dedicated to the wellbeing of his country, but one who could lead it through its current challenges and to future successes.

How Can the Opposition Help?

“I have devoted most of my adult life to promoting democracy in Nigeria. The battle has been neither short, nor easy.” Tinubu reassured the audience that he was not a member of that “class of politicians who has benefited from the struggle [for democracy] without participating in it.” On the contrary, his “life has been defined by the achievements and setbacks recorded in this struggle” and “[he] understand[s] with every sinew and fiber of [his] being how far [Nigerians] have come and how far [they] have yet to go.”

Consequently, Tinubu’s political experience has afforded him valuable insight into the socioeconomic challenges that his country currently faces. His position as the leader of the key opposition party has shown him how Nigeria is still in political limbo where the government’s authoritarian and democratic tendencies are in constant contradiction. As a result, Tinubu believes the current regime is unable to effectively handle the internal security, ethnic, and governance issues that have come to characterize the nation. If elected, the ACN, under Tinubu’s leadership, would be able to confront these impediments to stability by not only decentralizing power from the national executive, but by promoting civic engagement with the constituency at local and national levels to assure that these systemic reforms would, in fact, benefit the people of Nigeria directly.

He further argued that “[t]he overriding concern of the (ruling party) People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) political community is to retain power, not to advance the public welfare,” and, as a result, this party has broken the social contract between the government and the governed. Conversely, Tinubu believes that his party represents a sustainable, progressive alternative as it seeks to help Nigerians surmount the systemic obstacles to securing their economic and social wellbeing. Tinubu maintained that his party, unlike that of the incumbent, is invested in advancing the status of the Nigerian citizen beyond the margins and is willing to forgo the benefits associated with authoritarian rule to ensure that the people are provided for in every sphere.

The Future for Opposition Politics in Nigeria

If there were an election held in Nigeria today, President Goodluck Jonathan would not be reelected, Tinubu asserted, because he has proven to be a “disappointing” public servant. That Nigeria’s socioeconomic and political situations do not continue to degenerate, new and inventive approaches need to be taken on the part of the governing body. However, the PDP and President Jonathan are opposed to anything that might undermine their administration’s absolute control, Tinubu postulated, and this atmosphere is not conducive to democratic governance. Although there is much work to be done in terms of reforming Nigeria’s political, social, and economic infrastructures, Tinubu believes that the presence of a worthy opposition party is the first step toward progress, as this will help “to ensure the sanctity of the ballot box, foster respect for the rule of law and to build [enduring] democratic and economic institutions,” all of which are essential for a country of so much continental and international importance.

This Tinubu is with his mother, like Femi bambiala said

So why can't he attend a debate, and reasonably present his so called ideas just like this now

Brain damage?, Excess drug usage?, old age

Atiku is coming

Jagaban himself

Urchins are now digging up throwback videos of Tinubu speaking at events because he is making a mess of himself at various campaign grounds lately



Urchins, Tinubu is unelectable

You all should know this and know peace

Akanbi Omo Olodo Ide. The Jagaban of Nigeria. Leader of all leaders and next president of Nigeria.

I think Tinubu should change his doctors.

They cleverly omitted the fact that this event held in August 2012, an entire DECADE ago!!


Urchins are not smart, I keep saying it.

Tribal bigot


Anyone who doesn't support Tinubu is Igbo

BATified2023:

This is how you sold your future to Thifnubu and family at the end you resort to begging them for food.

If they don't respond, you'll put your ancestral lands for sell. The same Igbos you hate will end up buying them.

BATified2023:
u igbos will cry fire

Igbos are far ahead of you and your tribe. You depend on Igbos for survival. Your mechanics, carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, engineers, tillers etc depends on Igbos for daily bread.

Are you not ashamed that Igbos are feeding you even in your region?

This clown is reading a written soeach. Take away the paper from him and watch him sound like a broken record...... balabloo bloo bluu bulaba.

Stop being delusional, typing hogwash doesn't make it true. How are you feeding Yoruba?

It is the other way round, you are the one trooping out of the East to the west like the East is Barren and War torn.

How are you feeding Yoruba people lol? without Yoruba Patronizing your 4 by 4 shops and businesses across Yoruba land most of you would have been out of businesses and starved to dealth. We have the money to patronize your businesses across South west that's why most of you are still in the west and still coming Yoruba are the one feeding you and far above you.

We are discussing about Thîefnubu's gaffe today, this one went and brought 10 years ago nonsense to project the image of their decaying political benefactor.

This can only be described as the tantrums of a spoon fed child.

So many delusional Flatron here.

Which house do you own in South west? Most of the houses in Lagos and west belong to Igbo and some of you still went online and complained that Yoruba people are tribalistic and don't allow Igbo tenants or rent their houses to Igbo? Most of you Nyamirin actually live in lala land, making ridiculous and fallacious claims. You own most of the houses in Lagos and Yoruba still own most of the real Estates in Lagos, you own most of the properties in Lagos and the west and your women still dominate the brothels across South west and many Igbo still pushes wheel barrows and hawk snacks in traffic, hawking men boxers and belt and fan yogo, something you should be able to do in the East easily if it is not barren. You are really delusional

PointZerom:


This can only be described as the tantrums of a spoon fed child.

And your own post can be described as the rambling of a delusional nonentity.

How are you feeding Yoruba when most of you are the one making your living across South west? How can your businesses survive in the west if Yoruba people are too poor to afford whatever you sell? We are the one feeding you by patronizing your businesses not the other way round.

If every Igbo pack their businesses and move back to the East, Yoruba can easily adapt by looking for any other traders or alternative to fill the void or start doing the businesses themselves which will even create more Jobs for Yoruba, but you guys will suffer the brunts because of the customers and markets you will lose that's not available in the East. Your IQ is probably too low to Understand

I think Tinubu should change his doctors.

He has access to the best doctors money can afford, it is just that with the very visible cognitive decline, he can no longer operate at his previous level of functioning,

Some of the drugs he's being given could be affecting him. That's what I'm saying.

Do you see how eloquent BAT is in the video you posted? Compare that to the BAT who is calling pvc APV and PVC.

My brother, Tinubu is not the man he used to be. As a fact, Tinubu is less than a quarter of the man he used to be.
