AS MUST READ!!!!!! BOLA TINUBU: PULL HIM DOWN SYNDROME…YORUBA RONU!!! BY ARINGBANGBA MAYOWA I have read so many comments about the election of ekiti. Some school of thought said they voted against Fayemi because of the king of bourdillion called Asiwaju Tinubu the former governor of Lagos and a leader of APC. Same school of thought said Fayemi performed better than the previous government in the state. This permutation equal to Fayemi is a winner despite the defeat at the election. I have also been reading comments on Nl and other forums and I have noticed that so many people just dislike Senator Bola Tinubu because of some Yoruba leaders believed he is a son of NOBODY. I am not a supporter of the man and I have no interest in promoting him but I just want an objective argument for the widespread criticism. Let’s not mention that he was corrupt as a governor because we all know that EVERY single one of our governors are corrupt but I can tell you that I know what Lagos looked like before Bola Tinubu became governor and I know what Lagos looks like today. How come the rest of the other governors who stole money from their people cannot achieve what Bola Tinubu has achieved in the southwest with ACN? He set the stage for Gov. Fashola and looks at Lagos now under his watch. I don’t get it, what is the “Bad Belle” about? He spread his wings to other southwestern states and created the first class development we are witnessing all over the southwest states. The progress we are recording in SW can be directly attributed to him. I remembered when one of our senator from eastern part of the country in the name of Chukwumerije (PDP) paid a visit to Osun and to what he found amazing and a wakeup call to other governors pointed it out that the efforts of Aregbesola in education sector and infrastructural development of the state should be adopted and replicates all over the country, he asked all governor from other parties to drop egotism and embrace good governance, having known the efforts of Tinubu in making sure that Osun people voice speaks through the votes by eliminating those who have caged and impoverishing there people. I can cant it on and on but leave the rest for logical people to comment. The Ekiti people followed the voice of the selfish Yoruba leaders that they should stop Tinubu from bringing people from Lagos to govern them. Is Fayemi not from Ekiti?. I remembered Tinubu was having four Ekiti men in his cabinet when he was a governor of Lagos as a commissioner namely BAMIDELE Opeyemi, Alake Dele, Henry Ajomale. Where was the voice of Ekiti people then? For example the case of Ondo state, he gave Akeredolu a well renowned technocrat like Fashola but the leaders told the masses that Tinubu is coming to rule them whereas they refused to tell them the benefit of the integration of the southwest which other states are enjoying. Ondo people are crying for underdevelopment and cursing their governor. The man is busy moving the state money outside the country. I wonder what the problem of some Yoruba leaders with Tinubu is. This is how some yorubas supported the annulment of June 12 all in the name of jealousy and operation pull him down. Yoruba’s killed Abiola indirectly. Do they want the same for Tinubu? That criticism on amiable and most respected politician in all ramifications as far as this country is concern is baseless and orchestrated by enemy of progress. This man has done tremendously well in liberating Nigerians. He was the first to break monopoly of NEPA, he brought back efficient taxes with its objective materialize, he introduces free medical health to the pregnant, he introduced free glasses etc. All this are basic need Nigerians are yelling for and this is what can bring developmental that will see Nigeria realizing her vision 2020. Instead of these set of nincompoops queue behind him they are busy with denigration; this is absolute madness. INTERNAL DEMOCRACY: Bola Tinubu has been a leader of men. While many people complain of an absence of internal democracy in the parties he has been affiliated with, they should ask themselves whether Bola Tinubu has the sole responsibility of installing internal democracy in Nigerian politics. The imposition of candidates started during the era of Awolowo. Baba Awolowo single handedly picked a governorship candidates for UPN. This was the reason why Ganiyu Dawodu and Akin Omoboriowo left UPN in 1983. It is easier for a ruling party to have internal democracy and use that to set the pace for rancor free politics. In the situation that PDP which has a nationwide spread and strength is not able to practice internal democracy, how in the world do you expect Bola Tinubu to be the one to do that with his small army, which always stands the risk of losing its members to PDP who continues to poach them in election periods. In any case, the critics of Bola Tinubu forget that their internal politics might not have installed the people who the man gathered to work with him for 8 years in Lagos state together which in turn has been the catalyst for some of the political developments in the south west region in the last 8 years. Bola Tinubu brought in RAUF AREGBESOLA, OPEYEMI BAMIDELE, BOLA ILORI, OLORUNIMBE MAMOWORA to public service via his stint as governor of Lagos state despite that they are not from the state. Today, Lagos state has moved on to have BEN AKABUEZE as commissioner for finance and economic development for almost eight years now despite being from southeastern Nigeria. Lagos state under Bola Tinubu has been able to practice politics without ethnic coloration yet the bile which cynics will pour at him is that he used the composition of his government to establish an empire. Yet the critics cannot say the individuals in question did not perform while they were in office. All of them from AREGBESOLA to BOLA ILORI to OPEYEMI BAMIDELE all had stellar performances public officials in Lagos state. I am not a politician neither am a supporter of Tinubu but the development of the southwest is paramount because I can foresee the name of ODUDUWA NATION soon. When Tinubu was in government house in lagos, he fought gallantly for the creation of additional local government in the south west which the president refused. He mentioned Kano having 44 local governments as against Lagos with only 20 local governments. He won the battle and 37 additional local governments were created and Lagosian is enjoying the advantage till date. The northerners are not happy with this development and some leaders from the Yoruba race are also in the picture to truncate the creation of the additional local government out of jealousy. This man was the brain behind the rapid developments we are witnessing throughout the south west. He introduced the regional integration to all the governors. What can we say about the transformation in lagos, Abeokuta London, the new Ibadan, Osun and Ekiti. Our leaders cannot read the wall that the other region are envy us on this developments and can do anything to bring us back. The federal government under President Jonathan has not commissioned a single project in the southwest but still the region maintains the lead in term of infrastructural developments. Can any of the PDP match the achievement of Tinubu when he was in government? Where are the likes of AKALA, GBENGA DANIEL, LATE AGAGU and co when he was thinking and introducing ideas like WASTE MANAGEMENT which is now been used by all the governor in southwest, Lastma and KAI. One of the PDP governors from the North said he appreciated what he saw when he visited Abeokuta. IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR REGION THE SIN OF TINUBU? Some leaders are deceiving the youths that Tinubu owns several companies. He wants to come and steal money from your state. Let me refresh our memories that the man was ex mobile exploration staff as a treasurer under the supervision of Mr.Akinyelure. He singlehandedly finance the Nadeco against Abacha government. Agreed Tinubu owns several companies. The people working in those companies are all thanking God today that they can provide food for their children. Over 5000 youths are working in Tinubu companies. Now the question is, Where is the money Bode George stole from NPA, 34 BIILION Akala stole from Oyo, 68 Billion Daniel stole from Ogun ? None of this people have a company that creates employment for Nigerians. They all stacked the money in UK, DUBAI and other places abroad while Tinubu continued to invest his money for creation of employment . The HITV staff and Bellview will never forget Tinubu in a hurry how he saved their jobs. IS THIS THE SIN OF THE MAN called TINUBU? Tinubu remain the only Yoruba leader who can face and challenge the attitude of the northern people. The south south will always be grateful to him for his leading role in resource control which they are enjoying today through derivation. Yoruba leaders should try and reason with one another rather than pulling him Down syndrome. God Bless .
