[OPINION BY TUNDE RAHMAN] Tinubu: One month of pragmatic solutions, edifying actions | TheCable
a period of time for any objective assessment of the impact of the decisions and policy options of a government on the nation and the people, but the period can at least give an idea of where the government is headed, as they say, that the morning is a pointer to what the day may look like.
During the period also, the president granted audience to important dignitaries like former military Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, state governors , humanists and philanthropists like Bill Gates and Alhaji Aliko Dangote who came to discuss issues around polio and malaria eradication, among others.On the global stage, President Tinubu has also represented the country remarkably well.
For instance, only a bold and courageous leader with eyes on the country’s progress and economic development would frontally confront and remove the subsidy monster, which had sounded the death knell of at least one president and defied the seemingly tough posture of another. Tinubu made the removal of the subsidy a campaign promise, telling the people that if elected, he would yank it off and free the money for the development of necessary infrastructure for the people.
No less important in this regard is the appointment of the new Chief of Army Staff , Major-General Christopher Musa, a Christian from Southern Kaduna. News of his elevation reportedly elicited keen excitement and applause especially in Christian circles which, before the presidential election, had been misled into perceiving the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket as signalling an imagined ‘Islamization’ agenda should the Tinubu/Shettima ticket emerge victorious.
