OPINION BY MONDAY PHILIPS EKPE: A word for President Bola Tinubu | TheCable
the things he said has stuck with me since then. He wondered about what he called the overconfidence of some pastors sometimes when they express their knowledge of the motives, ways and will of God; as he put it, “as if they have breakfast, lunch and dinner with the Almighty regularly.” According to him, he couldn’t reconcile that kind of God with the one in the Bible.
The unpredictable nature of divinity, therefore, makes it not only wise but also critical for those who consider themselves as God’s mouthpieces to exercise adequate caution in choosing when and how to deliver sensitive messages. This self-censorship could make a huge difference in how they’re perceived and received, and how the speakers themselves are rated in the estimation of the analytical public.
President Tinubu surely has his own reasons why he should adopt meekness, gratitude and large-heartedness as his unwritten codes. Apart from enabling him to obtain and maintain a subliminal edge over those who seriously wish him evil, these virtues would equip him with the fortitude to face the legal proceedings legitimately initiated against him by his closest rivals, Wazirin Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi, in the last election.
Of course, where we are today is different from where we were in 2015. Buhari came into power on the wings of the overwhelming goodwill of a great number of the populace which was emphatically exhibited at the poll. Former President Goodluck Jonathan didn’t find it difficult to concede defeat, partly because of his own good character and also his ability to read the tide properly. The climate now is in reverse.
