Former presidential aide Babafemi Ojudu believes President Bola Tinubu is not the best leader for Nigeria at this time, citing his 'Emi Lokan' philosophy as inappropriate. He praises former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as a visionary who could have taken Nigeria to greater heights.
A former presidential Special Adviser on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, has said President Bola Tinubu is not the right man to rule Nigeria at this point in time. Ojudu said having worked closely with Tinubu in the past, he feels his philosophy does not put him in the best position to be Nigeria 's current president. He disclosed this while featuring on Edmund Obilo's podcast 'State Affairs' on Monday evening.
The former presidential aide also described former Vice president Yemi Osinbajo as 'a visionary'. According to Ojudu, Osinbajo would have taken Nigeria to greater heights. He said: 'This country would have gone places with him if he had the opportunity but it didn't happen. 'I'm not Emi Lokan, I feel that having worked and related closely with the principal of Emi Lokan and worked at the National Assembly and presidency myself, I just feel that the philosophy of Emi Lokan was not appropriate at this time. 'Osinbajo was the best person to govern Nigeria at that time having seen him up close. 'Osinbajo is a visionary and let me tell you this, whoever is going to run this country successfully must not be an individual, he must be one person working within a group of people who have the same vision as him. 'You can't just be a president and have a useless Inspector General of Police, have a useless head of Customs or Immigration or Chief Justice of Nigeria, everybody must sign on to your ideals, ideas, and visions.
