OPINION BY PAUL NWABUIKWU: Tinubu: Between desperation and degeneration
show a united front in the thick of a tough campaign and to demonstrate that it is confident of victory despite the efforts of determined rivals.
The second point is intriguing. The only explanation for Tinubu’s passion on the subject is that the currency change is a direct obstacle to his campaign strategy to massively deploy money especially among the rural and urban poor in the critical final stages of the campaign. There is, of course, nothing new about using money to change hearts and minds in order to influence election results in Nigeria.
Despite the efforts of his handlers to explain away or distract from his antics on the stump, it is clear that Tinubu is going through a horrendous process of physical and mental degeneration that is affecting his limbs and tongue simultaneously. The man is in very poor physical and mental shape. All the signs of an old man losing his faculties are fully on display. The hoarse, shaky voice that trails off suddenly. The failure to hold on to a thread of thought in mid-sentence.
