By Atoyebi Bamidele It is no brainer that most Nigerians never gave a chance to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to make any mark on what was termed the Nigerian mess, moreso when he came with the Emilokan Sobriquet. Now people know better in real terms. A peek into what he has done since he was sworn in on May 27 shows grit, determination and resolve to not only make a difference but fix things in a manner that all lost hopes will be renewed.
In the gamut of events where no sector was left in the pervading decay, it was even suicidal, unless with good escape plans for anyone to voluntarily step forward to take the bag of blames which the Nigerian situation literarily was. But like he publicly announced, “I applied for this job and I will deliver, do not pity me, I know my plans to turn things around and renew your hopes”. That was not a mere political rhetoric as many have seen though people complain of the pains brought by policies as if we can make an omelette without breaking eggs.
However, before our very eyes, things are turning out for the better and still improving. Before Asiwaju was sworn in, Southern Kaduna was a killing field, Borno was an unofficial headquarters of terrorists, Benue state spoke of killings as statistics while Zamfara and Katsina always count days as they survived each. The security situations may not have turned totally 360 degrees but those who felt it now knows that there is a Commander in Chief who is unwilling to leave any space under his sove.
