Here is a trending report that has sparked heated debate among Nigerians, with the majority hailing former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his detribalization and magnanimity.
Renowned veteran Nigerian actor, Mazi Fabian Adibe wept over how his wife, who is Igbo and was married to an Imo-born man, was fired from her job in Enugu because she is not from the state. According to him, “My wife was sacked in 1997 because she was a non-indigene in Enugu, despite being an Igbo woman from Abia State, married to an Imo State-born man. Back in our days, this wouldn’t have happened. Nigeria was one then.”
This statement, clearly made out of regret, has brought to light Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government as Lagos State Governor.
Aswiaju, who was the first governor in Nigerian history to appoint a chief of staff, undoubtedly understood why his entire cabinet was made up of individuals from all six geopolitical regions.
Tinubu appears to be at the centre of every discussion in Nigeria today because his administration as Lagos State Governor was responsible for many firsts in the country. Nigerians believe that if everyone could be as detribalized as Asiwaju, the country would not be in such a precarious and delicate situation today.
As a pioneer of justice and fair play, Tinubu has left his mark on the history of the nation for future generations. He opened up Lagos and made it clear that competence, not religion or tribe, would determine who would be appointed to positions of authority.
I’ll end by quoting Tobi Makinwa from the comments section., ” Just imagine say every Governor b like Tinubu wey no send tribe or religion, dey find only competence and integrity, Nigeria for don beta pass Dubai, I swear Tinubu deserve this presidency, if we all be like am , Boko Haram and bandits with all these religions intolerance no for dey Naija, abeg make we reason Tinubu candidacy well”
