TINUBU @71: A toast to a civilian general, political strategist

Like a blast of the wind with the sound of a trumpet; The heralding of a new damn, the birthing of a renewed hope  With the drive of missionary zeal.

As the blast of the breath, Only as yesterday; When this journey began, From milestones to milestones; Your strides in landmark legacies are here to stay. So we all one, The high, the great and the low; In joint acclamation to your deeds, Reaching to the east and the west; Touching the North and south of the country.

So here we stand in unison. In this assemblage of your admirers, To pour encomiums, The great leader of  our time; President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he turns 71“A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one”-Thomas Carlyle 

“People become quite remarkable when started thinking that they can do things when they believe in themselves; they have the first secret of success.”-Norman Vincent Peale

Giant strides made by man are usually relieved with pomp and pageantry .while some roll out the milestone amidst glass clinging. Some play the breakthrough low but all in praises and anticipation of a better future ahead. In this momentous instance, the success story always overshadows the nauseating hurdles and barricades accompanying such feats.

In the lives of many, birthdays are usually periods for sober reflection. The period for stocktaking. Numerous personalities with eyes on the verdict of history use such occasions to reflect on their contributions to the betterment of their societies . For Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President–elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he would have wished that the occasion of his 71st  birthday anniversary on `29th March 2023,  be observed with an annual colloquium. But the man is not an ordinary man today as he is President in waiting of the African giant.

The vision of  Jagaban is to build a prosperous, highly educated, technology-driven pace-setting Nigeria. He believes that the fastest and only way to change the populace is through education. While most Nigerian elites are busy manipulating ethno-regional differences to personal advantage, Tinubu has always been a vanguard of harnessing the differences to build a restructured united Nigeria.

As a former Senator and Former governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has an in-depth understanding of the contemporary problems of Nigeria. His ideas can build solid bridges leading us into the future with sound economic development. He has an analytic mind that is fertile and pregnant with development ideas. He is what Nigeria needs now. Nobody can doubt the political sagacity and international reach of Asiwaju, who has supporters in every nook and cranny of this country as shown by the vast spread of his votes across the nooks and corners of this country.

It is a fact that  Asiwaju  Tinubu is a champion for progress and development as it was evident with his antecedents while he was the Governor of Lagos State. His policies and actions culminated in a practical development model that based on research conducted, many States in Nigeria have since adopted it in their States and this model is also been used by prestigious institutions of learning across the globe as one of the successful development and economic model from Africa’s largest Country

Jagaban remains the most popular, charismatic and influential leader among his contemporaries. He is the best leader chosen by Nigerians to solve the myriads of problems about to choke the country to imminent death.BAT has a swell of goodwill and is unparalleled in this country.

He is exemplary in humility; an apostle of change, a revolutionary and core disciplinarian adept in the evolution of continuity between the past, diligently reshaping today for a brighter tomorrow. He is an ardent believer in the delegation of responsibilities among his team members for the creation of an efficient, resilient and responsive system.  

Nigeria needs a strategic & visionary leader who can identify opportunities from Challenges, especially at these global economic challenges. Asiwaju has the mental capacity, resources, network and more importantly been surrounded by brains that can turn around the fortune of this country and consolidate on the developmental foundation of President Muhammad Buhari.

Life says a sage, is a basket of sorrows punctuated with moments of happiness. On whatever scale of measurement Bola Tinubu’s 71yeras sojourn on this terrestrial divide is out, the living legend and man of destiny definitely, has a credit of balance of happiness.

By any benchmark, one deploys to assess him, and in whatever clime in our firmament of the planet earth, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos and President-elect of Nigeria, is a stunning success, a unique gift to humanity and he deserves to be celebrated by all and sundry within the Nigerian geography and beyond as he turned 71 years on the planet.

As our beloved amiable civilian general turns 71, it is our wish and prayer that the almighty God shall continue to keep him in robust health, with a sound mind, as he with officially carry the burden of Nigeria and Nigerians on May 29 2023.
