The troubling thing is, despite Tinubu's shadowy, indeterminate bona fides, he's primed to win. Thats why I agree with your suggestion he should remove himself from the race. His likely presidency would not end well for Nigeria - a country already battered. He should spare everyone the grief of his dubious leadership
I said it before that unlike other candidates seeking political offices during election season, Tinubu is no longer pretending about his true intentions of becoming president. He won't come to debates, even the one interview he gave in a foreign media house, he had no qualms refusing to answer the questions asked him, and delegated it to his APC chieftains who themselves had no shame answering a question that wasn't directed to them.
This is the season politicians try to cosy up to the media for positive reviews about them, and to burnish their image so they look electable by the masses, yet Tinubu has refused to do any of that. He is already threatening to deal with the media even before he's become president.
Even Buhari never suppressed the media during his own campaign. On the contrary his handlers knew how important it was to present their boss in a favorable light, as a changed man in line with the digital age and the 21st century. They did a total overhaul of his image, that there was a picture of Buhari on Twitter in a tuxedo!!
Atleast Buhari answered the questions he was asked in his own interviews. Never mind he sounded incoherent most of the time.
The more Tinubu's clownish albeit demented antics is pointed out, the more his handlers and APC chieftains double down on their stupidity. Souless, cold hearted, with no ounce of conscience left in them. Including Tinubu's wife whose ambition to enter the history books as a First Lady is more important than the health and well-being of her husband.
May 29th 2023 is just 5 months away.
I think their plan,(Both Tinubu and his wife) is for her husband to fumble and bumble his way to victory using APC rigging/ incumbency machinery. Tinubu's wife believes her sick husband can still make it to the hand over ceremony, after which Tinubu can then retire for the next four years into a UK hospital, the presidential title comfortably around his waist.
If Tinubu wins the elections, then the bar for becoming a president in Nigeria wouldn't just have been lowered, there would be no bar to set at all! Nigeria would have gone from presidential candidates who do not give coherent responses to questions, to candidates who would prefer not to answer the questions at all, and can pass them on to their quislings and supporters.
Truly truly, Nigeria have a pathologically dubious reputation of catapulting unworthy misfits into positions of power.
Look what they did to themselves.
After noe, they start shedding crocodile tears, blaming everyone else except themselves.
i think this is one truth we are trying so hard to avoid in Lagos.

Succinct Okey. “Charlatan at Chatham” - what a monicker! Destined to go viral.
