Clearly, going into next year’s presidential election in Nigeria, has come down to a three horse race between Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar and Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Of all, Obi has more advantages over them.
On integrity, Obi beats them all. So on trust, etc.
Even after leaving office about 16 years now, Tinubu still deeps his greedy hand into the purse of Lagos State.
I pray that nature will continue to keep him away from our treasury.
We don’t know his age. We don’t know his background. We don’t know the schools he attended. So we can safely say that he has no certificate since he didn’t go to any school. How can an illiterate lead a nation that produced Noble Prize winner like Wole Soyinka, renowned writers like Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, etc?
We don’t know what Tinubu does to earn his leaving. Can you name one of his sources of income?
Everything about him, even his age, is shrouded in secrecy. He must be a ghost then.
Tinubu is an anigma, very weird. The dept of his greed is deeper than Mississippi.
Can you trust him with power? No. Check his relationship with his deputy governors during his eight years as a governor.
A friend describes him, when it comes to power accumulation and sharing, as one who prefers to be the only corpse in any funeral.
I hardly see his achievements as governor of a state with the largest economy in Africa. Lagos is dirty. Lagos has no good roads. Lagos has very poor drainage system. Lagos life is the worst. No wonder El Rufai said that those who live in Lagos need not go to hell when they die for they are already in hell as residents in Lagos.
Nigeria celebrated her 62 years of independence and Tinubu who aspires to preside over her affairs is in an unknown place doing unknown thing. What a shame! What a disappointment! Very unfortunate.
Imagine you as a suitor not being around the very day your damsel is celebrating her birthday. No word from you. No gift. No card. No message. You must be a coward unfit for the girl. Other suitors will mock you. You ain’t serious.
As for Atiku Abubakar, he is just a play boy. He is like a pupil lecturer, if it were in a university grading; a seminarian in Catholic Church order; a cub reporter in news room setting, an apprentice in skill acquisition; etc.
His mind is in Dubai. He will watch swearing-in ceremony of Peter Obi from Dubai.
Atiku doesn’t believe in order of things. He can never qualify to attend Oby Ezekwesili’s class for Due Process. And he lacks grossly the common leadership skill in crisis management. His inordinate ambition to become a president made him to cut corners. The consequences keep him on a stand still.
If you see him through OBJ his boss, you ask police to keep him away from a decent society.
Let them declare their assets. Let them display their phone numbers. Obi did his. None of them can withstand a quarter of scrutiny Obi has been subjected to.
Why I love Tinubu is that he knows what he wants and can go after it with all in him, with all he has. He can maim, kill even himself in order to get it. I pity him because he lacks decent way to realize his dream. He is rude and crude in pursuing his dreams and desires. Very amazingly uncouth. He uses anybody, often of low esteem like him to achieve his goals. Give it to him in strategy, especially indecent ones.
Atiku can’t compromise his comfort, neither can he risk his conviviality for a course. He has a perforated faith but not ego.
Peter Obi’s humility is larger than the Sahara desert but shouldn’t be taken for granted for he is not stupid. Ask Rochas Okorocha the stuff Obi is made of. His stubborn nature stands him out in a region.
Of all the contestants, Peter Obi towers above.
