Tinubu’s UK Visit: A Hollow National Honour By Umar Ardo, Ph.D

Image
The current state visit of *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu* to the United Kingdom was, by every ceremonial standard, a spectacle of prestige. From the stately reception to the banquet hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle, from the polished motorcade to the guard of honour, the pageantry was unmistakable. Accolades were generously dispensed; encomiums flowed with diplomatic grace. On the surface, it was an image of Nigeria elevated and respected. In diplomacy, such appearances carry the weight of symbolic honour.  2. Yet, beneath the glitter of these ceremonies lies a more troubling question: can honour be complete when it is divorced from context? The central flaw of the visit is not in the fact of diplomacy itself, but in its failure to reckon with moral timing - the invisible yet decisive measure of responsible leadership. A state visit may indeed constitute diplomatic honour in the abstract, but politics is never conducted in the abstract; it is judged in the li...

TINUBU, THE NORTH AND 2027 - Ali Abubakar Sadiq

For over a quarter of a century, Nigeria had not seen a master political strategist like Tinubu. He is a damn cool political customer that perfected the art of manipulating political friends and foes alike, using machinations that borders on capitalizing on polical greed, corrupt stance and selfish inclinations of our political elites. Forget the NADECO days and the self imposed exile, or even the brief stint at the National Assembly as Distinguished Senator, he launched the first step of realizing his ambition to rule the country by contesting and winning the Lagos State Governorship in 1999. You must give Tinubu credit for transforming Lagos in his two terms through pragmatic strategy of surrounding himself with some of the best minds and technocrats Lagos can offer at the time. He withstand the high-handedness of Obasanjo as he choked Lagos revenues by freezing it's Local government funds for two years. Tinubu not only launched himself but his human machinery, hoping...
