[OPINION BY OGAGA IFOWODO] 'E mi l’okan': Tinubu and the audacity of self-belief | TheCable

the opposition parties, even by many independents, as a ghastly gaffe giving proof beyond any spectre of doubt that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was unfit for the office he so desperately sought. Here were arrogance and entitlement mixed into one overweening desire, self-incriminating evidence, if ever any were needed in the first place, that Tinubu, already perceived as having turned Lagos State into his personal fiefdom, was merely seeking to do same with Nigeria as a whole.

His role not only in bringing about the great merger of opposition parties which, try and try again, could not dislodge the Peoples Democratic Party from power but also in sacrificing his ambition for Buhari’s victory were enough for him to plead the special circumstance captured in the utterance.

Among these three, Tinubu alone stood and fought for the democracy that makes the coming elections possible after the decades of military dictatorship. He is the only one among them not to have betrayed his core ideological beliefs by becoming a political prostitute dashing to the next party that promises to pay more for the time being.

One thing, though, that Tinubu’s traducers and enemies might possibly say with some justification is his health status which they claim cannot bear the strain of the office of president. None of them is privy to Tinubu’s medical report, so the claim is made entirely on the strength of the treatments he is known to have undergone and speculations about his public appearances, some of which border on outright manipulations in an age of artificial intelligence and explosive information technology.
