OPINION BY TOPE FASUA: The crucial imperative of a Tinubu presidency | TheCable
been said – totally unjustified – is becoming the clear choice for 2023. I signed on much earlier because I would rather someone who has laboured hard and planned over decades, than someone who woke up from a nightmare and decides to go about recounting Nigeria’s laundry list of woes with hardly any intelligible solutions and no deep thinking behind his statements. It is what it is.
I write this from Ethiopia’s Bole Airport, which I found has greatly improved into a very modern and competitive airport since the last time I was here perhaps five years ago. The Ethiopians improved greatly through COVID-19 and have further consolidated their niche – aviation in Africa and tourism. Not that they manufacture airplanes but they have mastered the logistics around planes and also got their own people to do the servicing and maintenance.
Perhaps the two other of Tinubu’s opponents are stuck in their ways or they have simply not allowed their minds to open up to reality. Perhaps they have some constituencies which they hope to impress. Only someone like Adewole Adebayo of the SDP dares to speak robustly and not continually shove some market down the throats of our people. Adebayo even claims that the government has been lying to us about the kind of abundance that we already have. Even I will not go that far.
Another serious critic, Kalu Aja, in a series of tweets, had to eventually commend the thinking behind the manifesto, giving one confidence that much is achievable. A famous, no-nonsense critic, and influential thought leader, Ademola Henry Adigun, shared these critical but surprisingly encouraging remarks on his Facebook page: “I have read the APC manifesto. A good read. Clear on deliverables. Good on managing the FX challenge. Great on growing the oil sector.
