Those who Fondly Call iHm “BAT” Bola Ahmed Tinubu Know What they are Talking About, By Wumi Akintide

He is neither a bird nor an animal but is able to effectively perform the functions of both

He is a very complex man, a man of destiny great in achievement but greater still in promise like I said in a two part series I wrote about him on the Social Media many years ago before he had successfully wrestled the powers that be in Nigeria to the ground to become the first democratically elected President of Nigeria to come from the South.

If you don’t believe me just ask Olusegun Obasanjo and the foundation pillars of the old Afenifere Cultural and Political Group on whose coattails he had risen to political prominence next in line to Obafemi Awolowo who never got to be President of Nigeria despite his best effort as “the best President Nigeria never had” as defined by Oxford trained Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu of blessed memory.

By the time “Bat” is finished with Nigeria, the country would never be the same again if by any chance the country is able to survive as one country.

It is a prediction I make on conviction because I see some striking similarities between him and President Trump. They are both a hybrid of good and bad but an “Osagyefo” of some kind all things considered

Those who describe the Yoruba Southwest as the most powerful glue that holds Nigeria together the credit for that must of necessity go t Obafemi Awolowo, Olusegun Obasanjo and the Asiwaju of Lagos. and the Jagaban of Borgu- Bola Ahmed Tinubu

I rest my case.
