Rewind to 2014

In a bid to unseat the seemingly invincible PDP from the seat of power in the forthcoming elections, a Nigerian political leader and master strategist of almost legendary status who was best performing governor of Africas most largest state with an enviable record of achievements devised a plan: form an alliance with another revered political figure from the north of the country and merge their two respective followers/parties.

The plan seemed like a master stroke . The two heavyweights combined would create a tsunami effect that would pull in influential political figures from across the country. Combined with the strong showings of the northern leader in previous elections , these new arrangement could just tip the ruling party over .

However there was one issue : the leader from the north
This man from the north had ruled the country before after taking over in a military coup
During his short reign , the country witnessed the most oppressive period in its history . There were floggings, kidnappings, arbitrary arrests and detentions .
His absolute disregard for the rule of law and insitutions of state are well documented as he ruled with an iron hand. His economic policies were a complete shambles and left the country reeling to the dismay of international development institutions.
On top of that, the man was a known religious and ethnic-centric bigot. His application of justice was selective and favoured his northern kinsmen
After he left office , he was recorded to have openly advocated for the spread of sharia law across the country . Later on, the 4th most vicious terrorist group in the world BOKO HARAM , appointed him to negotiate with the government on their behalf . Tho he declined , ostensibly to preserve a political image

The leader from the southwest knew all this .
He knew d northern guy was bad at governance
He knew the guy was an ethnic bigot
He knew the guy was a religious bigot
He knew the guy would spell economic disaster
He knew the guy’s disregard for the rule of law
He knew , he knew , he knew

But
He went ahead with the plans .
This leader from the southwest whose record as governor was synonymous with excellence, the only one who actually deserved the title of His Excellency among his then peers. Yea this same man went ahead and arranged for the worst possible choice of a person to be president .
He went against his personal beliefs and sense of duty and everything he stood for and achieved just to align with this guy and win an election at the detriment of 250 million people

The rest is history

In a way, I’m glad that Tinubu took over from Buhari. Cos it would not have been fair for another person to be on that seat right now trying to pick up the pieces of the train wreck that is Nigeria rn.
Even if somehow he manages to right the ship , his responsibilities right are not enviable. Anybody can talk and advise . This state of affairs had been coming from the moment the former disaster assumed office in 2015.
Going by his records as governor, the man is clearly an achiever and a performer, plus he recognizes the expectations of him from across Nigeria . A leopard cannot change his spots. The same drive that motivated his as governor still motivates him today . That is why he will be having sleepless nights upon sleepless nights right now at his age trying to fix the ship that he helped to destroy . And that is a punishment that you should not wish an anybody. But it is KARMA

Even if he returns Nigeria back to what it was in 2015, you can say it’s a huge progress , but is it really an achievement? If you destroy a house and then rebuild exactly the same house , did you make progress or are you back to square one ?

He cannot fix Nigeria in 4 years. Election is just 3 years away. If he wins re-election in 2027 , he migh fix it in the next 4 years. So by 2031 , Nigeria might be back to 2015 levels. That means we lost 16 years . 2015-2031 were the wasted years

KARMA'S A BEAST.

I said it in one of my post during buhari's tenure that tinubu supporting a disastrous buhari for 8years just for him to get to the position might not have a Nigerian to rule after him.
Karma is real

Your entire point is right, except dignifying Tinubu. He is as bad as Buhari in ineptness and twice as bad in financial crimes and corruption.

You people have no idea the development status privileges that Lagos state always had as a previous nation's capital and commercial hotspot to say the least. Tinubu as a Lagos State governor took a shine off these privileges so mich that it hid his poor leadership performance despite the stealings.

Tinubu did not do 5% of Jakande's work in building Lagos, only kids and brainwashed people that don't know history will deprive Jakanda the honors of the builder of Lagos in favor of Tinubu.

Well I did compare him to the other governors .
My people say in the land of the blind , a one eyed man is king
