Babafemi Ojudu, a former presidential adviser on political matters, has openly stated that President Bola Tinubu is not the right person to lead Nigeria at this time. During his appearance on Edmund Obilo’s podcast, ‘State Affairs,’ Ojudu explained that after working closely with Tinubu in the past, he feels that the president’s philosophy does not align with the country’s current needs.

Ojudu, who has been involved in Nigerian politics for many years, went on to praise former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, calling him a visionary leader. He expressed his belief that Osinbajo would have been able to take Nigeria to greater heights if he had the opportunity to become president. Ojudu emphasized that Osinbajo had the right qualities to govern the country and was the best candidate for leadership at the time.

“I’m not Emi Lokan,” Ojudu said, referencing the popular political slogan associated with Tinubu’s campaign. “Having worked with him closely, I just feel that his philosophy was not appropriate for the country at this point.” He stressed that Osinbajo, who served as vice president for eight years, was well-suited to lead Nigeria.

Ojudu went on to explain that successful leadership is not just about one person but about working together with a team that shares the same vision. “Whoever is going to run this country successfully must not be an individual,” he said. “He must work with people who have the same ideals, ideas, and vision.” According to Ojudu, a successful government requires leaders in all areas, including the police, customs, and judiciary, to align with the president’s vision for the country.

In conclusion, Ojudu made it clear that Nigeria’s future success depends on having a president who can bring together a unified team of leaders, each committed to working towards the same goals. He believes that Osinbajo had the potential to be that leader, but the opportunity was lost.
