In Lagos, he laid a master plan, midwifed and engineered it, and Lagos becomes what it is today. “Tinubu is the only politician in Nigeria that has mentored the highest number of politicians; strategically pooling them, placing them in strategic positions, and giving them wings to fly. “He kept helping others to become what they wanted to become; while his contemporaries were busy contesting the presidential position. This is the kind of leader that will build Nigeria and its people. “It is our belief that Tinubu is the most qualified for the president and northerners are already mobilising for him. “If the southeast also gives its support, it will succeed in building good alliances, friendships and bonding that will make others accept and support its candidate in the next opportunity. “Instead of agitations, the southeast should start to negotiate, build friendship and alliances, to grab future opportunities.” “Beyond asking for power shift to the southeast, I think stakeholders in the region should come together and adopt one candidate. “That way, there will be unity of purpose and people of the southeast know they only have one candidate to support. “But a situation where there are multiple candidates from the region, gives an impression that we are not united. Let's not fall into the trap of those who seek to divide us.”
