Late Chief Buruji Kashamu once pronounced Asiwaju Tinubu as his ROLE MODEL. He paid a RARE TRIBUTE to the same ASIWAJU Tinubu that his party @OfficialPDPNig had pointed the finger at severally, tagging him as a TRUE HERO that EVERY NIGERIAN SHOULD EMULATE.
Asiwaju Tinubu, My Man
For Kashamu, it has become important to HONOUR those DESERVING of HONOUR now that the elections were over. In the open letter addressed to Asiwaju Tinubu, he expressed him as the ARCHITECT of MODERN Nigeria, who made HISTORY by leading an OPPOSITION PARTY for 16 YEARS
and then taking hold of power at the centre. Late Kashamu surveyed that WITHOUT Asiwaju Tinubu, the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, would not have won the March 28 election.
“Truth be told, men like YOU ARE MADE UP of STERNER STUFF and are RARE to come by in every GENERATION. Little wonder you are called the Asiwaju and Jagaban of Borgu. I DOFF MY HAT,” he declared, praying that they that are YOUNGER should TRULY BE LIKE HIM“
~Late Kashamu to Tinubu
Although I now belong to the opposition, your ACHIEVEMENTS TRANSCEND POLITICAL DIVIDES and I am NOT ashamed to PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE them. There is no DENYING the FACT that your PLACE in the HISTORY of the Yoruba RACE in PARTICULAR, and, in Nigeria in GENERAL, is well ETCHED.”
Kashamu’s further ADMIRATION of Asiwaju Tinubu: “By your sheer wit and UNWAVERING COMMITMENT to DEMOCRATIC ETHOS, TRUE FEDERALISM and ECONOMIC PROSPERITY,
Late Kashamu CONTINUED HIS DESCRIPTION OF ASIWAJU TINUBU
"You led the ALLIANCE for DEMOCRACY from a ONE-STATE PARTY to a REGIONAL PARTY and now a NATIONAL PARTY that is about to FORM the GOVERNMENT at the CENTRE.”

Former Trump White House chief of staff, Marine GEN John Kelly (ret.) issues an on the record statement:
"The delay in transitioning is an increasing national security and health crisis....
It costs the current administration nothing to start to brief Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, the new chief-of-staff, and ALL identified cabinet members and senior staff as they are identified over the days and weeks ahead...
That said, the downside to not doing so could be catastrophic to our people regardless of who they voted for.
"Just as important are getting the landing or beachhead teams into the various departments and agencies that protect Americans, our health, and our way of life...
This is Brigadier General Ahmed Ibrahim Taiwo. He gave a three-hour testimony, on his feet, before the Lagos Judicial Panel of Enquiry on EndSARS Protest and the roles played by the Nigerian Army.
He reiterated that no one died in Lekki. That the Army fired blank ammunitions (cartridges), which are not lethal (killing), in the air. From autopsy report, the only confirmed person that died did not die as a result gunshot wounds.
Also, he said the Nigerian Army had bigger fish to fry than to be looking for DJ Switch for arrest. This means DJ Switch is inconsequential to the Army. Therefore, the serial liar should come out of her hiding and go to the Panel to substantiate her claims that 15 people died.

@channelstv reported that Kogi State Polytechnic caught some BAD PEOPLE who FORGE the school's certificate for SALE.
Then they brought up the institution's rector who spread his big agbada to fill up great spaces around him to say his bit and complete the story.
He said the school apprehended the "disgruntled elements" after getting "intelligence" about their activities. . .
Now, it is clear that Oga Rector's understanding of the expression, "disgruntled elements' is that it is a one-size-fits-all thing that describes all bad people including criminals. Or perhaps he feels those guys are forging certificates because they are unhappy with the system.
I flew from kano to Ikeja Airport and from there did a Taxify to Lekki toll gate to meet the protesters when I was told they had no leadership structure. My Taxify Driver's name is Ayo.
I thought I introduced myself to AY, Wiz kid, Timi Dakolo, Japhet Omojuwa, Damini Ogulu, Moe Odele, Folarin Falana, Yemi Alade , Ikuforiji Abdurahman and other persons I was meeting for the first time to persuade them to understand the existential dynamics of a resistance which
this has become.
I stayed at Four point hotel at Lekki Phase 1 five minutes walk away from the toll gate. I took my time to explain revolutionary models to them from the Bolsheviks to Mensheviks, to Southern American guerilla warfare to proxy wars in Africa to Asian to Arab
