It was remarkable that Dangote himself referred to Tinubu as the 'Asiwaju of Nigeria' on that important date to Nigeria’s economic history.
The incoming president and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces must be ready to deploy more of that strategic humility when in office. There are more challenging times ahead. Two are quite critical: restoring confidence in our federal government and the ECONOMY. The Americans say it is about the “Economy, stupid!”
I find these words relevant today as Asiwaju is set to take over the mantle of the nation’s leadership in a few days’ time. There is no dispute among those who have worked with him over the years about his adroit deployment of political strategy in resolving the unsolvable. His instinctive respect for every individual he meets speaks of humility in leadership.
Also, we have seen a plethora of project commissionings by President Buhari, which many expected he would attend beside the incumbent leader. But he chose to avoid them in what clearly is borne out of strategic humility, in not wanting to share the glory with the incumbent, as the latter deserves his shine and glory.
Perhaps the most remarkable one was the commissioning a few days ago of the Dangote Refinery within the Lekki Free Trade Zone, a visionary scheme he initiated as governor of Lagos State in 2005, in a stroke of Socratic ingenuity. Instead of being present with President Buhari at the commissioning, he sent his vice, Shettima, so that the present goverment could take all the glory of the event.
