A former Senator that represented Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani in one of his posts on his Facebook page said “You keep insisting you want to know the real age of the Jagaban, did he say he wants to play for Golden Eaglets?” He is reacting to the statement of some social-political groups such as Ohanaeze that are judging Tinubu by his age.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nigerians should stop judging any candidate by age. They should rather look at the change such candidates can effect. Tinubu is an agent of change and direction. Nigeria needs him at this time. For example, both Lagos and Cross River States were once Federal Capital of Nigeria at different times and they thrived as just one of the States under the democratically elected government of 1999-2007. In Lagos State, Asiwaju demonstrated financial wizardry and foresight and in Cross River State, Donald Duke displayed innovation and guts!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since then, Lagos State has gone on to become the 5th largest economy in Africa whilst Cross River has degenerated into a relic of some sort grappling under the weight of funny-titled budgets. Once renowned for the Calabar carnival, Cross River is now often in the joke section of the news for the title of its annual budgets.<\/p>\n
My point is that while Asiwaju secured the continued growth and prosperity of Lagos State through producing a worthy competent successor who was the proverbial son of a nobody, Donald Duke succumbed to other emotions that ended up producing a substandard version of his vision. Today, Lagos keeps gaining while Cross River groans.<\/p>\n
