A conversation that says it all without bias.

A friend said he hoped I was “Obidient”.
I told him I am actually “Batified” with no apologies.
He wondered, “How “?
And I wondered back to him, “How not ?”

Without going into the arithmetical impossibility of Obi winning, I asked what was Obi’s legacy beyond being frugal?
And how many countries ever developed by having a frugal leader?*
Did the frugal Julius Nyerere develop or under developed Tanzania?
My decision on supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is for three (3) reasons:

First, I don’t believe any single leader can transform Nigeria. We are far too crazy for that. What we need is someone who can build a team that will work for Nigeria even when the president is doing other things. And the only contestant that has a record of identifying and building such great men is the Jagaban, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
Obi was governor in Anambra for 8 years, you can’t name one single great man he identified and then built.
The only man he made and imposed is ex-Governor  Willy  Obiano. But you know what? They abandoned each other just after two years.

Is that the man you want to hand Nigeria over to? May God forbid bad thing!
Secondly, I see restructuring and devolution of powers as a major solution to our instability and undevelopment.
This, again, can only be done in partnership with the North, which has the majority population and presently seems to benefit from status quo.
So, Northerners would  only yield ground to a man they trust, who can make them believe it would favour them also.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar can’t do that because, right in his heart, he doesn’t believe in it.

Mr. Peter Obi does not even have the liver at all or trust of the North to try it.
So, Obi would just keep complaining, if elected by chance.
This is why, of the trio of TInubu, Atiku and Obi,  only Tinubu has the guts, the trust of the North, and can play the right politics to achieve that.
Finally, people fought for this democracy but those who colluded with the military were the ones that initially got power in 1999 unfortunately.
This is the first time someone who was an apostle of June 12 and who fought for this democracy has a chance to lead what he fought for.
Where were Atiku and Obi during the struggle for democracy?

They will contest this election, lose and congratulate Tinubu for his victory at the end of the day.
If they choose to run to the election tribunal it would be within their rights but judgement would be against them.
Thank you!
They say Tinubu is a thief. That he drove bullion vans into his compound. I ask them whose money did he steal? I ask them whose money is missing?
They go mute.
They say Tinubu is a criminal. I ask them which crime he committed and which court in the land or outside convicted him of the crime.
 They all go mute.

They tell me Tinubu is godfather of Lagos and he is very bad for democracy. I say alright. Then I asked, Is wisdom not judged by what it can achieve. Using all known indices of good governance and prosperity, is there  any state in Nigeria that can rival Lagos?
They cannot tell me. They go mute.
I ask them, don’t we all want to be Lagos? They say yes, so I ask them, if Tinubu is the brain behind this Lagos that we all are proud of & live in with preference to others, then why can’t we replicate his genius all over the country?
They mumble what I can’t hear.

They say Tinubu is a Muslim and that is the problem. I ask how? Tinubu’s wife is a pastor in a big Pentecostal church. So I ask, how many of them who are Christians have Muslim wives & didn’t Atiku convert his Christian wives to Islam?
 They can’t answer.
I ask again, does Tinubu relate with anybody in Nigeria based on religious belief?
They know the answer but they will rather prefer to keep mute.

They say Tinubu is greedy. I say OK. So which of them will be able to elevate their own subordinates to the Zenith like Tinubu has done without feeling diminished?
They can’t tell me.
They say Tinubu is the problem. I say how? Has the man held any position since he left office in 2007?
They know the answer but they just can’t say.
I ask them, “is there any Nigerian alive not holding a government position yet is as influential as Tinubu today?
They can’t answer.
And so I tell them, there is something this man is doing, there are principles that he is following, there are values that he holds strong that you can’t just put down.
There is something about Tinubu in my opinion. So why not just let him unleash his genius for the benefit of Nigeria?
When I say that, they look at me bewildered. But that is where I stand. And I stand here not because of any other person.”•
This is how a support for a candidate should be presented NOT by cursing, insulting, harassing, bullying and abusing people that have different views or opinions from theirs.”
