Think of Nigeria: choose a competent leader. By Ameen Olorunnimbe

It is your choice. It is democracy. We cannot force anyone. But we are Nigerians and we want the best for our nation. I have come to make Nigeria great. I have looked about the leaders and competency and I have chosen a man that can win, that can do his best, that can develop the country and that can grow the economy and give security to this great nation. That is why I have recommended and chose Bola Ahmed Tinubu for president over Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.

 

Peter Obi was the governor of Anambra State for 8 years, I have seen no growth nor development but I have seen a Panama white papers that the wealth of Anambra State was brought to the off-shore Panama to develop Panama a country, while the poor people of Anambra State suffer in their land. Peter Obi has chosen a foreign country than his own fatherland. The leaked files were retrieved from some offshore services firms around the world that set up shell companies and other offshore entities for clients, many of them influential politicians, businesspersons and criminals, seeking to conceal their financial dealings. PREMIUM TIMES contacted Mr Peter Obi with written questions and had an in-person interview with him weeks ahead of the publication. The Labour leader admitted that he did not declare these companies and the funds and properties they hold in his asset declaration filings with the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Nigerian government agency that deals with the issues of corruption, conflict of interest, and abuse of office by public servants. Nigerians can see that Peter Obi cannot be trusted.

 

Alhaji Abubakar Atiku was the Vice-President of Nigeria for 8 years, I have seen no good roads leading to his state. He, Atiku was recommended by his former boss as “corrupt politician, lack of moral, and believe in marabouts”! The former President Olusegun Obasanjo said in his book “My Watch” that Atiku Abubakar is a corrupt man. Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo said “the money Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, stole when he was his vice will feed 300 million Nigerians for 400 years.” The rtd General said “that God will not forgive him if he supports Atiku who is the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP!”

 

What has anybody said about Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

 

The critiques cannot bring any proof to the table. They forget that this world is not by the words of mouth rathern by evidence. However, let us examine what the Reasonables Nigerians have said…

 

Ahmad Lawan said “Tinubu was an astute administrator who laid a solid foundation for the modernisation of Lagos State and a visionary political leader with a track record of building people and organisations.”

 

Minister of Works and Housing…”In my own opinion, Asiwaju is the best person to drive that vehicle because I have worked with him at close quarters and I know his capacity. I know his tenacity. And I think sometimes that we need to test some hypothesis and the opportunity to test this hypothesis is there.”

 

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has hailed the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, describing him as his “benefactor”.

 

The Speaker of House of Reps said “I owed my political journey to God through Tinubu, whom he said God used to uplift him and many others politically and otherwise.”

 

Despite the outcome of the results of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Special Convention for its Presidential Primary, the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has pledged to work for the victory of ex-Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu, APC’s 2023 flagbearer saying he remains committed to the dream of a new Nigeria.

 

And I can go on and on…

 

The great thinker Aristotle believed that to become an effective leader, we must first be a follower, to intimately understand the needs and wants of the group. Even after we become a leader, we still need to follow the concerns, the plight, and the progress of those we serve. Every good leader is a good follower. Asiwaju was one of the followers of MKO Abiola and Yar’Adua in those days. He understands what it meant to be a leader. He monitors those who he built, he would not just leave them, he want them to do their best. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu also appoint leaders at the grassroots with competence.

 

Another great philosopher…Plato proposes instead that states should be governed by philosophers and be a lover of wisdom, which is the meaning of the Greek word, philosophia. Leadership is a duty of philosopher kings who acquire the techniques and skills for the art of ruling.

 

At this critical junction, I am urging meaningful Nigerians to think carefully and vote for competency not just to cast your vote. Vote a man that has philosophy, wisdom and knowledge to build a strong nation.

 

Vote for Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima. Vote APC VOTE JAGABAN FOR PRESIDENT. Vote a man we can trust .
