Osinbajo’s Shadow Clouds Tinubu’s Work Assessment

Former presidential aide, Senator Babafemi Ojudu has said that President Bola Tinubu was not the right person to lead Nigeria at the time he came to power saying that erstwhile Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo would have been a better choice.

Ojudu shared his thoughts during an appearance on the State Affairs podcast, hosted by Edmund Obilo.

Ojudu, who worked closely with former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, stated that Osinbajo would have been a much better leader than Tinubu.

Reflecting on Osinbajo’s potential, Ojudu said, “This country would have gone places with him if he had the opportunity, but it didn’t happen.”

Ojudu emphasized that his perspective came from personal experience, having worked with both Tinubu and Osinbajo. “Having worked with Tinubu in the past, I feel his philosophy is not suitable for Nigeria at this point. Osinbajo was the best person to govern at that time, having seen him up close,” Ojudu explained.

Ojudu also criticized the “Emi Lokan” ideology associated with Tinubu, describing it as unsuitable for the nation’s current needs. “I’m not Emi Lokan,” he remarked, adding, “The philosophy of Emi Lokan was not appropriate at this time.”

The senator praised Osinbajo as a visionary leader and argued that effective governance requires collaboration with a team that shares the same vision. He explained, “Whoever is going to run this country successfully must not work alone. They must collaborate with competent people across various sectors. You can’t be president and have ineffective leadership in institutions like the police, customs, immigration, or judiciary. Everyone must align with your ideals and vision.”

Ojudu’s comments have sparked discussions about leadership and governance in Nigeria, particularly regarding the choices made during the last presidential election season that saw Osinbajo wobble before Tinubu in the APC primaries.
