The Man Tinubu

It seems to me that some people have come to accept the social media gossips against Bola Ahmed Tinubu. A little research can unearth the needed facts about this man. There is no need pouring invectives and scorn on a citizen whose notable "offences" are that he has the audacity to aspire to the highest office in the land even though he sprung out of "obscurity" and material poverty, and that he has been so successful in mentoring great men that he himself has become an institution without the need of an appointment to a notable public office for conferment of relevance, influence, or power. At the moment Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a PRIVATE CITIZEN like many of us.

This I know: Tinubu graduated with distinctiion and awards at Chicago State University, USA in 1979, worked for top companies in the US, rising to executive cadre, returned to Nigeria in 1983 to serve his employers at their Nigerian branch, exposed corruption in his company as a meticulous and conscientious auditor, leading to a top management official losing his job; resigned as a technocrat to run for Senate in 1991, won the election, had the courage to fight for democracy in Nigeria at his young age then against the Abacha junta, went into exile in 1993, returned, contested, and won the governorship of Lagos in 1999. He assembled a crack team, developed a 50-year development plan for Lagos, and took the meagre IGR of about N600 million a month when he assumed office to N19 billion a month before he left office. Presently, the monthly haul is in excess of N50 billion.
Tinubu's fecund mind found a solution to the perennial overflow of the Bar Beach (which the FG had no solutions for), having transformed the problem into an economic opportunity called Eko Atlantic. Few years ago, I stood at the window of my hotel room on the last floor of Eko Hotel and looked into the Atlantic Ocean, where used to be a looming danger. I saw the exhibits of Tinubu's vision, sagacity, innovation, courage, and sheer brilliance.

Today, with a 146 billion dollar-economy, Lagos is the 5th largest economy in Africa. Lagos presently receives more than 90% of foreign direct investment in Nigeria. Tinubu's fingerprints are all over these notable and undeniable achievements no matter the precision of economic and social forensics that may be performed on the State.

One may be envious of Tinubu, lie against Tinubu, and even hate him, but all these cannot CHANGE THE FACTS ON GROUND.
All these and more make Asiwaju Tinubu my CANDIDATE. May God whom I serve in truth and clear conscience preserve this mentor of men as the NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA. Is there not a cause?

A full blown suicide bomber can’t be Vice President

Moh247:
Yes a sucide bomber can't be vice President because a sucide bomber must have died committing sucide using bomb

However Alhaji Shetima, seasoned economist, former zenith bank director, former economics lecturer is your next Vice President insha Allah
