Alhaji Bola Ahmed [or Adekunle] Tinubu’s plot to become Nigeria’s president was not incubated only over the last 24 years as appears to be the refrain in recent years. It has been a lifelong ambition and he said so himself in the presidential villa in Abuja in January.
A man who had no sinister plot will not
willfully erase and expunge and diligently hide his beginning and his early
childhood as Tinubu has done successfully or so it seems, until now. Even if he
was born in the Dark Age, there was no way his first twenty-something years on
earth would have disappeared to the extent that they have almost become
irrecoverable.
