I belong to the set of youth who see beyond social media frenzies and irrational political support. You almost appear alien if you dare say BAT is your political choice come 2023.

I can't recount a number of times I've been insulted and almost beaten in a bid to stand out and try to make youths like myself see the man who has what it takes to make this country again.

They shout old age, I told them capacity isn't a respecter of age.

They said he looted Lagos, I responded if Lagos was looted by him and still looks that way, I'll love him to loot Nigeria.

If Nigeria is looking for :
1. An athlete to run around the stadium and even jump over the wall,
2. A wrestling champion suitable for a WWE title and the black belt,
3. A superman to offload several trailer loads of cement,
an*

4. A diver to parachute from an aircraft at the height of 3000 feet,
5. A boxer in the category of Mohammed Alli and kill wee.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is certainly not qualified.

But if Nigeria is looking for :

1. A builder, a genius, and a man of great intellect and capacity,

2. A man who can reset the damaged national structures and unleash Nigeria's great potential,
3. Someone to strengthen the fibers of nationhood and foster hope.
4. A maverick politician who understands the use of men as materials for growth,

Was Tinubu a Governor in 1993 when he housed and fed 402 NADECO members in abroad for 5 good years and able to, at same time, send $1,000 to the family of each of the NADECO members at home in Nigeria to take care of their wives and children.

By estimate, that was $402,000/ month for 5 years! You were aware that before Dangote, Tinubu had been importing rice and also using the proceeds for further investment; check Wole Soyinka's confession about this.

Are you aware that Tinubu is the second-highest subscriber in Trump’s Tower in New York which Trump fraudulently wanted to dispose of before he was elected US President, but which court ruled in Favour of all the subscribers?

Babatunde Raji Fashola on How he met Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

The minister of Works, Power, and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola explains in this interview how he first met his mentor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Q: When and how did you meet Senator Bola Tinubu? What was your first impression of him?

A: That is an invitation to walk down memory lane. I think it must have been 1990 or 1991. He was treasurer in Mobil, then. His office was at the Bookshop House at CMS on Odunlami Street.

I didn’t directly meet him. I had seen him at parties, but we never met. At that time, I was a senior associate at the law firm of Sofunde, Osakwe, Ogundipe, and Belgore, where I was practicing. Wale Tinubu, his nephew, came to join the law firm, then.
