By Hon Segun Olulade
Hon. Segun Olulade with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Anytime Asiwaju’s birthday is close, the whole nation is agog with celebration of an enigma, a leader, crowd puller, a political general, the legend, the calculator, strategist, team leader, dogged fighter, brave leader, visioner, advisor, mentor, emancipator, redeemer, father of nation, liberator of the oppressed and the weak, husband of the widows, father of the less priviledged and unreached, and above all, a God fearing compatriot.
What can anyone say about Asiwaju that has never been said before? He got passmark not only in political sphere but in many facets of life that one can aspire to succeed. God makes leaders; he chooses whom He pleases, and when He has perfected such anointed one, the world will notice him without pulling a curtain.
Asiwaju’s birthday has appeared like celebration of national honour simply because he is a great man who naturally attracts honour and celebration. Kings, Presidents of nations, ambassadors, distinguished lawmakers, political leaders, economic giants, rulers of public and private sectors, party faithfuls and the general public all saying “best wishes” to one man, a unique creature and destined leader of our time. Even those who disagree with him politically cannot help sending words of honour to him on this day.
The weight of his greatness and legacies he is bequeathing our nation, Africa and the entire world is phenomenological in nature.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a name that simply means greatness!
