Tinubu’s new Age
S unday March 30, 2025 will remain remarkable not just as the day President Bola Tinubu clocked 73; it also turned out to be a Sunday when Christians were celebrating Motherhood. The Muslims were also excited following the end of Ramadan. It is more than mere coincidence that Tinubu’s birthday fell on that day of joy.
And what more can Nigerians ask for but more celebrations of joy. These past nearly two years of ‘Renewed Hope’ have changed the narrative. Things grew from bad to worse. Life has become so difficult that even the blind can see darkness in the sky. The world evolved through ages, from the Stone to the Dark Age.
There was the Medieval Age, long before the Jet Age landed. Let us hope that those who continue to defend the Tinubu Regime will create opportunity for a new dawn in the country. The President loses nothing by loosening the poverty belt, for citizens to enjoy a whiff of fresh air. Many beneficiaries of the administration took out newspaper pages to celebrate the president. We saw the high and mighty at Aso Villa.
Those photographs of the haves did not really tell the story. The erstwhile Giant of Africa is now dwarfed by biting hardship. Tinubu may mean well but the road to desired results is still far away. His supporters believe their benefactor knows how to take risks. However, being bold does not mean that policy makers must necessarily become undertakers.
Those who give this government a very bad image should turn a new leaf. There is a lesson to learn from the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu. While bootlickers had gone to work ready to squeeze students of Delta State College of Nursing for singing what sounded like uncomplimentary songs when she graced an occasion in Asaba, Madam rose in defence of the students.
