Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
By Damilola Ajibola
Former Senator Adegbenga Sefiu Kaka, has said that Nigeria and Nigerians need the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the successor of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kaka, in a piece shared on social media platforms obtained by News Contact Online, on Friday, called for support from Nigerians in ensuring his victory at the polls in the February 25 elections.
In the piece titled, “The Time is Now”, the former lawmaker and deputy governor of Ogun State, urged the people to avoid temptations to seek vengeance.
He hinted that Tinubu is well prepared to lead the country based on competence, experience, exposure, and detribalised disposition.
Kaka said, “THE TIME IS NOW !!!
“There is a TIME for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to uproot,…, a time to tear down and a time to build, …, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, …, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be SILENT and a time to SPEAK…..HE has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what GOD has done from beginning to the end.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 NIV.
“The word of God is sacrosanct and immutable. Glory be to GOD.
“The inspired voice of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has become like a poisoned arrow piercing through many hearts. They seem to have forgotten that there is a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Indeed, it’s time for ceasefire. This time calls for a halt for all on the path of attrition.
“Asiwaju, like any of us, is human. He is not infallible. Of course, he has his shortcomings and weaknesses. Like all mortals, he is prone to making mistakes. Naturally, in his many years in the public space, he must have stepped on many toes.
“Today, Nigeria and Nigerians need him. We should subdue all temptations to seek vengeance. Let us not attempt to throw away the baby with the bath water.
“Asiwaju, no doubt, is the best prepared of all the candidates. His demonstrated competence, experience, exposure, and detribalised disposition place him far ahead of his co- contestants.
“May God grant us the wisdom to make the TIME we are in, good in the life of our nation.
“To all who have one issue or the other to settle with Asiwaju, I, along with many others, hereby appeal to such for forgiveness. Let us imbibe the immortal words of the “Lord’s Prayer. “Forgive us, as we forgive others who trespass against us”! Or better still, “Teach us, how best to forgive others who trespass against us “!
“In the prevailing circumstances, only the best is good enough for our dear country. The TIME IS NOW for total support for Asiwaju. The odds are in his favour. He has a date with posterity. May we not miss this opportunity!
“May God help us to appreciate the TIME we are in, for the good of Nigeria and the benefit of future generations. It is the TIME to make hay, while the sun intensely shines.”
