THE EAGLE HAS LANDED: LET THE REVOLUTION BE TELEVISED. May 29, 2023

Congratulations, Mr. President, Chief Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR

Please, name at least three cabinet members today, May 29, 2023, and expedite process on the following:

Education

Security Adviser

Internal Affairs/Interior

Foreign Affairs

Chief of Staff

Secretary to the Federal Government, and

Defense.

Please, let the Revolution be Televised, especially on the high-interest rate, padding of budget, theft of crude oil, lack of accountability in high places in government, incessant closure of our university campuses, the Almajiri scourge, True Federalism and Decentralization of Power, hostile investment climate in the Niger Delta, the systemic ethnic cleansing campaign in the Middle Belt, insecurity, and State Police. Prove you are ready, Mr. President. And prove you are in charge. Time is of the essence.

MOVING FORWARD

The impacts and measures of Chief Obafemi's wisdom or economic success were not in the direct management of his total workforce and use of the available resources by himself. His wisdom was in identifying and picking excellent team of immediate subordinates to escalate his dreams and visions. These subordinates or leaders of thought constituted his inner circle or kitchen cabinet. And they were the embodiment of Awo's liberal public policy philosophy, referred to as Awoism.

Similar virtues ran through all of their veins. (1), possession of the innate drive and background training to craft policy statements and create new wealth and business opportunities for the administration, consistent with Awoism, (2), inherent traits and capacity to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the appointed cabinet members and technocrats in the administration, and (3), ability to maximize the utility of the available resources and business opportunities for the benefit of the administration and the governed/the people. That's what made Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his administration in the first republic a success story.

As you ascend the throne, Nigeria is now your constituency, and the whole world is watching. Please, let the revolution be televised and all-encompassing. You cannot afford not to do great things. Be the unexpected President who turns things around for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Lagos State is the clearest microcosm of Nigeria. Governing the state successfully for eight years without the benefits of the monthly allocations from the Federation Accounts places you in good stead on how to create new wealth, generate revenues, and revamp our economy.

We have human capital in abundance, as well as the natural resources necessary for a dramatic economic recovery and breakthrough. What is missing and has been missing is the presence of All the President's Men in action. Abuja is seemingly oblivious of our reality or cares to acknowledge the life we live. So, let's break the disconnect. Let accountability be your watchword.

Governing and transforming Nigeria is the easiest thing to do if you have the right team - a selfless formidable, and ethnic-neutral team in place. To achieve that, you would need a couple of recruiters from the "outside" to collaborate with your inner political circle in the recruitment or hiring process to ensure the diversification of your entire workforce.

Finally, as Chief Obafemi Awolowo would say, it is not becoming the President of a county that matters. What matters is how we utilize the opportunity to meet the expectation of the people, the electorates. Please, go for the Gold, Asiwaju, this is your time, your turn is in your hands; make the best of it. I have absolute confidence in you. And I believe fervently in Nigeria.

Once again, congratulations, good luck, and God Bless.
