Friday 26 May, the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the appeal by the People’s Democratic Party seeking the disqualification of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 25 February presidential election over alleged double nomination of his Vice-President Senator kashim Shettima, essentially removed the last hurdle to his inauguration on 29 May.
So what are the options for those who cannot bear the thought of Tinubu being their President for sundry reasons? The first is to adopt the late ‘Uncle’ Bola Ige’s philosophy of ‘siddon look’ and hope they will sit out his government. The second option is to hang hope on a possible conjuncture of intervening variables that will truncate his rule such as the Supreme Court sacking the government. The third option is to wax spiritual and seek consolation that he may actually be a tainted vessel that God wants to use to bring positive changes to the country.

In his keynote speech at the inaugural lecture on Saturday 27 May 2023, former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, appealed to then incoming President of Nigeria to unite the country irrespective of ethnic, political and religious cleavages that may exist. “The contest is now over and the hard work of building a prosperous and unified Nigeria now begins.
