His relentless determination, strategic prowess, and ability to navigate the intricacies of power have cemented his place as a significant player in the country’s political landscape.

The bold decision statement he made to remove subsidy on his first day as president – on the inauguration day, has caught everyone’s attention.
This move sparked intense debates and discussions about how he wants to govern. Nigerians are closely watching and forming their own opinions about his leadership style. Tinubu has become the main topic of conversation in the country, with people focusing on how he plans to lead Nigeria.
Notably, the National Labor Congress (NLC) now finds itself engaged in negotiations with Tinubu, alongside strategic meetings with the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and CEO of NNPC.
This serves as a testament to his growing influence and power, as he also commands the attention and respect of key stakeholders in the country. Nigerians, with a mixture of admiration and criticism, cannot help but chant his name. Marketers and Journalists, too, hang onto his every word, attentively analyzing his every utterance.
The speed and efficacy with which he has consolidated power within a week is remarkable and should be studied.
While opinions may differ on Tinubu’s motives and background, his undeniable influence and sheer brilliance of governance will one day leave an indelible mark on Nigerian politics.
