For President Bola Ahmed Tinubu it is so easy to stretch our minds back to January 2022 when word went round about his desire to become Nigeria’s next chief helmsman and the vitriol that followed from certain quarters. Indeed while refusing to acknowledge his wonderful and productive eight year reign as governor of Lagos State, some of them totally vilified Ashiwaju at that time and pronounced him as ill, unhealthy and incapable of cohesive thinking and elocution. Even while he tended to his knee challenges and other mild natural health issues he was written off as totally inebriated. At some point some announced that he was dead.

Nigeria is an interesting country and one with peculiar set of citizens. It is an intricate place to govern. Anyone, who is not prepared for leadership, but found themselves in political position of authority to lead, would be overwhelmed in no time with the kind of complexity in the nature of the country and its people. Sometimes ago, when the newly sworn-in President Tinubu was asked how he felt with the challenges facing the country as he took over, his response was epic and depicted someone who knew what he was getting himself into. He simply answered that “nobody should pity him because he asked for the job”.
