Why President Tinubu Deserves a Second Term — By Kassim Afegbua
Prince Kassim Afegbua, a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ex-commissioner in Edo State, has articulated compelling reasons for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to secure a second term in office.
Afegbua commended Tinubu’s extensive political experience, highlighting his tenure as a senator and two-term governor of Lagos State. He emphasized that Tinubu’s blend of legislative and executive expertise equips him uniquely for national leadership. Contrasting Tinubu with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Afegbua argued that Atiku lacks comparable executive experience, noting unresolved issues from his role in the Obasanjo administration’s privatization efforts.
Afegbua praised Tinubu’s commitment to political inclusivity, citing the support from Northern APC governors for a southern presidency as a testament to Tinubu’s bridge-building capabilities. He described Tinubu as a pan-Nigerian leader who fosters alliances across socio-political divides and remains loyal to his supporters throughout political battles.
Addressing economic reforms, Afegbua acknowledged the challenges posed by subsidy removal and currency devaluation but underscored their necessity for long-term stability. He urged Nigerians to exercise patience, asserting that these reforms are essential steps toward a more resilient economy.
Afegbua concluded by asserting that Tinubu’s leadership is pivotal for Nigeria’s progress and stability, advocating for his re-election to continue the nation’s transformative journey.
