President Bola Ahmad Tinubu thought when elected into office faced challenges due to his courageous decision to remove fuel subsidy that some few cartels are making hundreds of billions of naira, monies that can be used for growth of our economy and providing infrastructures all-over the country.
This bold decision is now yielding positive results Nigeria’s economy is returning to normal.
Tinubu’s compassionate leadership was fully exhibited on how he handled the burial of former President Muhammadu Buhari. After the announcement of the death of former President Buhari, President Tinubu directed his Vice President Kashim Shettima and some Ministers to head to London and bring back his corpse.
President Tinubu stood by the family of Late Buhari at their trying period. He personally traveled to Daura to led the funeral rites. This is the first time in Nigeria’s history that a former President was so honored.
When former President Shehu Shagari died and now late Buhari was in charge, his government didn’t honor him near what President Tinubu did.
Let’s assume that Buhari is in charge and Tinubu is the former President, will he receive such honor? President Tinubu proves to Nigerians he’s a leader for all Nigerians.
The Nigerian people should try to change their mindset about leadership. They should stop thinking of only the leaders they speak the same language, came from the same region, practice the same religion etc can provide purposeful leadership.
As President Tinubu is leading the country with compassion, empathy, kindness and a genuine concern for wellbeing of Nigerians, Nigerians should have a second thought on leadership. Let them drop sentiment of tribalism, regionalism, and religious sentiment and access how Tinubu administration is laying down the foundation of a great and prosperous Nigeria.
Nation building requires sacrifices and luckily for Nigerians it didn’t take long and no loss of millions of lives as the case of China. Our Naira is now stable and inflation almost stopped. Governments under Tinubu are paying salaries on due unlike countries that faced challenges similar to Nigeria like Argentina that can’t pay salaries to workers in the country.
To consolidate progress made so far and achieve success in building a prosperous Nigeria, Nigerians should vote for President Tinubu come 2027 Presidential election?
They should not allow politicians that failed to provide good governance when they are in charge deceive them with tribal, regional and religious sentiments.
Nigeria needs Tinubu who is courageous and compassionate leader to led them to the great Nigeria of their dreams.
