Bola Tinubu: A King Maker’s Final Journey to the Throne

HighLife

Without question, motivational speakers in Nigeria have obtained a new lease on their careers following the inauguration of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s 16th President. His journey to this position was fraught with many hurdles and obstacles. However, because the man’s gaze was focused and his heart unshaken, he climbed to the peak of leadership in Nigeria.

Say what you will about the emergence of President Tinubu, but even his staunchest critic has to admit that the man’s vision is clear. After all, how many individuals have been able to become president 10, 20, or 30 years before the time and took active steps towards reaching this goal? For Tinubu, one might say that everything he has done up to this point has been to clinch the position. Now that he has arrived there, he has nothing left to aspire for but the historical acknowledgement of being the best president Nigeria ever saw.

Long before Tinubu was a senator or governor, he had it in mind to serve Nigeria as a whole. These were back in the days of politician, aristocrat, and businessman, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, General Sani Abacha, and even notable political giants, Abraham Adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo.

Tinubu must have seen the burden of governance and the delicate balance of mastery required to effectively get Nigeria onto a relentless march of progress. As such, Tinubu contested for Lagos State Governor in 1999 and won. This marked the beginning of a life filled with masterful strokes of brilliance in selecting the right persons for jobs and having them establish a culture of excellence and patriotism.

Currently, with so many point men in place to promote and encourage good work, Tinubu has started to lay the foundations for a historic reputation. With one hundred steps to the throne, the man has left deep hollows in the minds of his rivals. Only time will show his brilliance and history record his virtues.
