President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @ 72
12 years ago, I wrote this about you, today my thoughts about you remained the same but strengthened as you remained consistent and truly yourself.
Asiwaju, Akanbi, Olodo de, Omo Abibatu:
A phenomenon, an enigma, a moment, a period and indeed a generation. A measure of a time. To me also a mentor who is most often right. Even when wrong, you are justifiably right.
To your generation, an Obafemi Awolowo reincarnate, to my generation a Mahatma Gandhi lookup and to the younger generation a combination of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jnr. expectation.
To many you are yourself, a generational phenomenon.
Now as President and C-I-C we cannot but be grateful to God as you continue to trade your God given moment and life for Nigeria’s shared wisdom, prosperity and desired unification”.
A true progressive and Pro democracy activist, I am grateful to God to have drank and still drinking from your well of political wisdom.
Asiwaju, Baba, Mr. President Sir, Three Scores and 12 Congratulations
