In a recent interview with Arise News, Prof. Okey Okechukwu, Executive Director of Development Specs Academy, praised President Bola Tinubu’s political acumen, describing him as a strategist who has consistently defied the odds.
Reflecting on Tinubu’s rise to power, Prof. Okechukwu pointed to the president’s ability to secure the APC presidential ticket and ultimately win the 2023 election despite widespread scepticism, internal opposition, and external pressures. He emphasised that Tinubu remains aware of the strengths and weaknesses of both his allies and adversaries, suggesting the president is not one to be easily outmanoeuvred.
The words of Okechukwu at some point during the interview read, “you cannot rule out our President Tinubu’s capacity for political strategy. Many of us were absolutely sure that he wouldn’t get the APC ticket, but he got the ticket. People feared that the international community would bring down the sun and the moon together; nothing happened. Prominent Nigerians stood out and said no, it didn’t stop him from becoming president.”
Speaking further about President Tinubu, he added that “even the currency remodelling was presumed to be targeted at him. In spite of all these, the man won the election, and you believe that as president he will sit around drinking tea or eating kulikuli while you’re trying to take him out after about three years in office.
