Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, has advised President Bola Tinubu to showcase his achievements to Nigerians if he hopes to secure a second term in office. Momodu, who has known Tinubu for over 32 years, dating back to their time in exile fighting for democracy, expressed his concerns in a recent post on X.
Momodu emphasized that Tinubu’s statement about controlling Nigeria like he did in Lagos was a wake-up call. He believes the President should focus on selling his achievements to the people rather than relying on federal might to secure a second term.¹
Key Points:
– Tinubu’s Governance Style: Momodu likens Tinubu’s governing style in Lagos to a potential approach in Nigeria, which he believes won’t work nationally.
– Economic Challenges: Momodu has previously expressed concerns about Nigeria’s economic struggles under Tinubu, citing the removal of fuel subsidies as a detrimental decision.
– Security Concerns: He has also highlighted the worsening security situation, suggesting that the government hasn’t effectively addressed the issue.
– Democracy and Leadership: Momodu has urged Tinubu to prioritize democracy and not intimidate opponents, emphasizing that doing his job well is key to securing a second term.
