[b]Open letter to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
May 14, 2015
Written by Dr. Adedayo Yusuff


Dear Asiwaju,

I trust that this letter will meet you in the best state of health and in highest form of sound mind. I am also hopeful that your family is doing well in all ramifications.

I will like to congratulate you, on the success of the APC in the 2015 general elections. No individual in modern day Nigeria has worked as much as you did to get us to where we are. This is some considerable level of success. Never in Nigeria’s political history has the progressive taken control of the centre until now. I believe this would not have been possible without your immense sacrifice and doggedness. For this, I want to thank you and express my profound gratitude for helping us in seeing a matured democracy. Without mincing words, your role as a democrat and a leader of a virile and strong opposition has helped us sustain our democracy and build a solid nation.



Also of note is your role in the deliverance of Southwest from reactionary politics. Since the year 1999, you have continued to provide vision and leadership to the region. You have been able to guide us from the era of serial embezzlers to an era of serial performers. The quality of leadership you have provided has resulted into tremendous development within the region. Across the nation, Lagos has become the template for infrastructural development and Osun has become the acceptable template in social welfarism. You have redefined political leadership, and have put Southwest on the front burner of Nigerian politics. This is evident in the emergence of the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket, which defeated a sitting president and demystified the power of incumbency.

As we set gaze on the horizon for the dawn of the new administration birthed from your struggle for a better Nigeria, I am taking the liberty of this medium to call your attention to two salient issues. These issues are crucial to our beloved Southwest. The timing of this letter is based on the recent release of the proposed APC’s zoning formula. The choice of the medium is founded in your open-mindedness and your positive attitude to receiving different viewpoints and putting them into consideration for decision making. The first issue bothers on the election of the leadership of the National Assembly while the second issue relates to nominations and appointments into the Federal Executive Council of the incoming administration.[/b]

That's more like it.

Whoz tinubu?

Smh!

Ashiwaju...the man too smart joor!

Strong, brilliant, eloquent and visionary thinker and leader!

Can't say the same for people whose only achievement in life is leading 3 M innocent souls to death in front of an armoured tank while they fled to Abidjan, dressed like a woman with red lipstick and a big gele to hide a gorrilla-sized head!

Tinubu is indeed the father of Nigeria's democracy. And epitome of resilience and doggedness.

The last paragraph of your post was quite unnecessary.
