Tunde Rahman: The Unseen Voice Behind Tinubu’s Incoming Administration

Yes, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is here, his time has come, and it is time to get to work and restore Nigerians’ hope. The elections were never served à la carte; they were fought for, and a multitude of factors contributed to making them a reality today.

The little things in life are what really count, but we miss them because we are preoccupied with the major moments.

The journey to today’s success, which we now witness the high and mighty swarming Tinubu’s official residence in Abuja, was packaged by individuals who believed in the cause even before it was formed and worked tirelessly to give it substance.

If not for the newly expanded hatred and demonization of Tinubu from apparently predictable quarters, Tinubu has been and remains one of the most well-behaved politicians in terms of his carriage, political, social and ideological pronouncements.

As we all know, Nigeria is full of cruise, so you hear cases of respected leaders throwing tantrums at themselves all because of ideological differences. We all recall the great War of Generals in 2011, when Obasanjo fired the first salvo, claiming IBB was a fool at 70, to which IBB replied, Obasanjo is a bigger fool.

We’ve seen governors take jabs at their colleagues and vice versa, unnecessary heating up of the system. Former Lagos State Governor and President-Elect Asiwaju, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has never been caught up in such needless distractions by leaders who should be guiding the nation in the right direction.

Even when respectable clergymen, politicians, tribal police, and amebos continued to poke fun at Tinubu, Asiwaju never fell for their idiocy; instead, he respected their opinions and made sure that his communications remained goal-focused.

Tunde Rahman is one of the unseen voices that has worked alongside Asiwaju to keep the mission alive and focused. As the President-Elect’s official spokesman, he has distinguished himself as a core democrat who knows what his principal wants and keeps to it.

Rahman possesses a Master of Science in Communication Studies, a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism, and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science. Additionally, he took classes at the Lagos Business School.

Mr. Rahman began his media career in 1989 as a Political Correspondent for the Lagos Horizon, a community newspaper, and later transferred to the former Daily Times, where he climbed to the post of Political Editor.

He later joined Punch Newspapers as News Editor/Assistant Editor in its Abuja branch, and then as Group News Editor in its Lagos headquarters.

He left the Punch in 2004 to become Deputy Editor of THISDAY’s Sunday title, where he helped launch the paper’s political branch, CICERO.

Mr. Rahman rose through the ranks to become the Deputy Editor of the daily newspaper, and then the Editor of the Saturday and Sunday editions.He left THISDAY to launch the WESTERN POST newspaper.

Being meticulous with the little adjustments or details is the key to creating a fantastic dinner. At a time when the opposition is anxious to tarnish Tinubu’s name in the eyes of the entire world, playing the worst type of reputation one could imagine, Tunde Rahman has played a significant part in moulding the identity of the President-Elect.

Tunde Rahman, the doyen of journalism, is best described as a spokesman after the heart of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the incoming president on May 29, 2023.
