Yoruba Race: Can We Leave Asiwaju Bola Tinubu Alone?
Politics is a game of interest that requires you to be smart and articulate; how you are able to play your card rightly or negatively determines your next political stand as a politician. This great vibrancy and sagacity cannot be taken away from the Are-ago of Egba Land, the Jagaban of ile-oluji and the astute scholar himself the Asiwaju of Lagos, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Not every one will ever like you when it comes to the game of politics. You can never please nor satisfy people's needs as economics as made us to understand, though I may not be a Student under the tillage of the grand commander of the south-west political god-father his excellency Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu ( Governor emeritus ) but his great doggedness, integrity and approach to politics in this era of knowledge political economy as made me an admirer of his personality which I have always respected and refer to him as my grand father in the game of politics.
Though, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not been kidnapped nor held hostage at present but we should stop pulling him down with our utterances and deeds. This is a man whose integrity, commitment and ideology can never be undervalued or underestimated in this time of our political dispensation. This is a man who has remained focused , determined in giving the then ruling party (PDP) a vigorous battle to enthrone them from power at the federal level of government in Nigeria through a strategic and constructive opposition for good sixteen (16) years.
Despite the intimidation, frustration and witch-hunting, he remained resolute without been deterred. He never sold his political ideology and principle for selfish personal interest by either decamping or aligning with the central political party to gain cheap political recognition or political appointment like some of his colleagues did while serving as Governor in 2003 , 2007 , 2011 and in the twilight of the 2015 election.
Yes! Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is just an human being like you and I with blood flowing in him, he has some of his weakness and strength which qualifies him to be an imperfect human being, he might have made some certain decisions or took some certain steps which either his political associates,fellow political gladiators might not find pleasant , it does not disqualify from been a leader , politics In nigeria is built on trust, interest and loyalty.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of the few political leaders who is really passionate about youth development and not ethnic and religious bias. Indeed, he knows how to identify youth with great potential and he exposes them rightly for a productive delivery of service and benefit to the society.
Today, we hear names such as Yemi Osibajo, Babatunde Rajii Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode, Sera Sosan, Dele Alake , Opeyemi Bamidele, Ayo Adewale, Shanana, Wale Edun, Femi Gbajabiamila, Abike Dabiri, among others.
These are few out of the many students that the Jagaban of ile oluji have sent on an I.T to provide dividends of democracy to the masses. This is a great man who has given the youth an opportunity to steer strategic positions in government, if not for this great man called Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, most of these so-called leaders that we envy today might not surface on our political scene.
My dear great people of the yoruba race, I plead with us all to stop politics of greed, hatred. Yes! You might not be in the same political party with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and probably you might even be in the same political party with him, let's stop destroying his personality without our unguided tongues and fallacy rumors.
Let's support whoever is the yoruba arrow-head in this new government, so that we the yoruba race will not be left out of the new government that is yet to be constituted, the interest of Nigeria and the Yoruba race should be our greatest priority and not our individual selfish interest. Yesterday, it was some people's reign at the Central Government representing the interest of the Yoruba race, today its the turn of Prof Yemi Osibajo , Asiwaju Bola Ahmed etc.
Tomorrow it might be your turn because leadership and position are transit, let's support them and not continually blackmail the great political maestro of the yoruba race in the sight of the presidency.
Long live the yoruba race,
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
