Shan George: Where Is The Tinubu Who Fought OBJ Hands Down?

Shan George, a seasoned Nollywood actress, has considered President Bola Tinubu’s past.

She expressed her opinion that Tinubu was more successful as Lagos State’s governor in an Instagram post.

The thespian advised the president not to seek a second term or resign, lamenting that she can no longer sense his wisdom and high steps as they were back then.

“When Tinubu was governor of Lagos State, he did with Lagos what Otti is doing in Abia State,” she remarked. OBJ was president at the time and had some political disagreements with Tinubu, but Tinubu persisted and led Lagos State with a great deal of grace and flair, developing MM2, dualizing Allen Avenue, and many other roads within Lagos, making the metropolis even better than he had found it. Among many other wonderful deeds, he established LASTMA and cleansed the streets of local lads without much assistance from the federal government. Living in Lagos at the time was enjoyable. Tinubu was adored by Lagosians.

Therefore, I think that was the standard by which he was evaluated in terms of the kind of ability required for the position of President.

However, the President we are currently witnessing makes me question, “Where is the Tinubu we once knew?” The Tinubu who, from the time I was still in diapers, stood up, rebelled, and triumphed against numerous previous instances of poor governance? The Tinubu who turned Lagos into a paradise and decisively defeated OBJ? What happened to the real City Boy?

“In my opinion, AGE occurred, which is a natural call and shouldn’t be condemned. His lifelong ambition has always been to become President of Nigeria, which is why the EMILOKAN surge is understandable; he succeeded, and that’s fantastic. It is honorable to leave the stage when there is still some applause, whether it is loud or not, therefore even he should do so now without being asked.

“But his friends won’t tell him now because their profits won’t allow them, until they force him to work himself to Kpai because being the President of Nigeria, THE GIANT OF AFRICA, is not moimoi. Baba should just step down right now.”

“I am Shan George, an African filmmaker who has won international awards. And I’m a proud Nigerian. I’m just a good citizen who politely holds her opinion; I don’t support Tinubu or any other presidential contender. I’m not a card carrier for any political party.
