NigeriaDecides! Who’s Your Leadership Plug For The 2023 Election?- Part 2

 

 

 

 

 

So like I was saying, (please read from part 1-Before You Cast That Vote). Let’s put sentiment aside and lay the facts on the table. Right now, if we have to go by the social media assessment, one might be hoodwinked to believe that the election has been had and won by whom a fraction of the youths think. Don’t mix it up, elections are not won on social media but purely on political structures.

 

 

 

NigeriaDecides! Who's Your Leadership Plug For The 2023 Election?- Part 2

 

 

In anyway, let’s look at our candidates and juxtapose their qualifications for the merits and demerits of the Oval office.

 

 

 

If we have to look at the antecedents of the PDP flagbearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar whose two-term as a Vice President bear nothing but a monumental indictment in a book-My Watch, written, published and widely circulated by his direct boss, former President Obasanjo who took him to the cleaner by saying, “The Money Atiku Stole Is Enough To Feed 300m People For 400yrs”. A right thinking person who knows the value of reputation would have sought a legal redress to clear his name on this damning allegation. With that monumental indictment in the Obasanjo book, somebody like Atiku does not have what it takes to run this country. We already know what will happen should he be given such a chance. Delicate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the same man who, out of cowardice deleted his earlier views on the barbaric murder of an innocent school girl who was lynched for a baseless religious comment. You would recall that the PDP Presidential aspirant was threatened by some religious extremists who promised to make him lose more than 2m votes from the North after he tweeted to condemn the barbaric killing of Deborah Samuel, the innocent school girl who was alleged to have blasphemed Prophet Muhammad (ASW). There’s no amount of explanation that can make up for such a shamefully heartless decision of having to delete such a tweet in such a shocking moment. What it means is that human lives mean nothing to the PDP Presidential aspirant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most ironic of the situation is the laughable cognomen of him being referred to as a “UNIFIER”- someone who, out of sheer selfishness and power-desperado couldn’t put his house in order by simply allowing decorum on the sensitive issues of zoning and party chairmanship, a critical issue that eventually pitched the G-5 governors against his party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s no doubting the fact that governor Wike might be the biblical Joshua who matched his troops around the city, blowing rams’ horns. And on the seventh day, the tumult of their shouting and the rams’ horns caused the Jericho wall to collapse. Joshua 5:13-6:27. Just like it will this Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The situation at hand is more than being sentimental, the nation does not need another ‘Perceived MESSIAH’ right now. Historically, our dear nation has never been favoured from Perceived Messiahs; right from the time of that OUR man who had no shoes throughout his school days. All our Perceived Messiahs have done their best to the best of their knowledge and ability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a time when we should choose merit over vendetta and elect a leader who has track records of assembling the best of brains without recourse to race, creed or colour. A de-tribalized cosmopolitan politician who assembled and appointed thoroughbred professionals of repute drawn from diverse tribes and race during his tenures as the head honcho of the State that’s left to be beaten in infrastructural developments and economic improvements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although I have read, heard and listened to people make mockery on the health of the APC flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. How can we forget in a hurry that no one has control over life but God. We were all living witnesses during the incumbent president’s health challenges. It was so bad that a sitting governor even placed a “wrap-around advert in Punch Newspaper celebrating the demise of President Mohammadu Buhari; today, he’s not just as fit as a fiddle, he has outlived many of his enemies. No one knows tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another absurd allegation was his involvement in drug dealings in the US. My simple analysis of that is that, if Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had been so powerful and important, as far back as then, to have been left off-the-hook, by the ‘almighty’ US authority, without serving a jail term, for an offence as CAPITALLY strong as drug peddling, then, that’s the person we need to revive this sinking ship because he’ll be able to use same power and might to turn the Nigerian economy around. Need I say more?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a vote for competency, national unity and developments. This is the only man in the history of governance in Nigeria who had collabs of technocrats drawn, not just from diversely related fields to suit his cabinets but from all tribes across the nation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come Saturday, February 25th, vote for the APC flagbearer, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the only de-tribalized politician who can steer the nation’s ship to the next level.

Tunde Moshood is an international journalist of great repute and a member of the Directorate of Public Affairs, APC Presidential Campaign Council.

Africa Set for Divine Visitation as SCOAN Holds Revival

Africa Set for Divine Visitation as SCOAN Holds Revival

Johannesburg, South Africa — South Africa is poised for a powerful wind of divine transformation as Johannesburg hosts the highly anticipated Holy Spirit Visitation with Pastor Evelyn Joshua. The event, set to take place on May 16 at the prestigious Expo Centre, is drawing thousands of attendees from across South Africa and beyond, each with a deep yearning for divine intervention, healing, and spiritual renewal.

 


Described by many as a life-changing opportunity for divine encounter, the event is being organized by The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), led by Pastor Evelyn Joshua, wife of the late Prophet T.B. Joshua. The revival has also been widely described as an avenue for divine restoration and supernatural transformation, resonating strongly with the faithful and spiritually curious alike.

 

Jan Matli, a Johannesburg resident, conveyed his strong belief in the impact the event will have. “We expect spiritual revival in the body of Christ as the Holy Spirit Visitation with Pastor Evelyn Joshua begins on the 16th of May. This revival will reveal God’s hidden power to destroy the deception that the children of God have been fed with. This visitation must bring total deliverance and transformation,” he told The SCOAN’s communications team.
Echoing this hope, Thato Mathibela, another resident, said, “I want to have an unforgettable encounter with God during this revival with Pastor Evelyn Joshua. I want to receive impartation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.”

Africa Set for Divine Visitation as SCOAN Holds Revival

For many like Norah Dlomo, the event is not only about personal breakthrough but also about the spiritual welfare of families. “I want God to deliver and heal my family. I also want to grow spiritually with the guidance of our mother in the Lord, Pastor Evelyn Joshua,” she shared.
Among those looking forward to the revival is Abigail Fourie, who has a powerful testimony of past healing through The SCOAN. Delivered from a family curse during a visit to The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2006, she now seeks a deeper experience. “Since then, my life has been transformed. Now, I am expecting to be baptized by the Holy Spirit so that I can be all God has created me to be,” she said.

 

The event is attracting not only South Africans but also believers from across the continent. Anthony Victor, a Malawian residing in Johannesburg, shared his testimony of divine intervention. “My wife was barren but after ministering the Morning Water, which I received from a friend, she conceived and bore children for me. The God of Prophet T.B. Joshua is a miracle-working God. I am here to experience more of His blessings,” he said.

 

From the Democratic Republic of Congo, Patrick Isaka testified to the blessings he has already received through The SCOAN. “I have experienced a lot of positive changes through The SCOAN. I have witnessed many good things in my career as an infrastructure consultant. I am here to experience God and maintain the blessings I have received in the past,” he stated.

 

Among the most heartfelt expressions of hope came from Albert Ndhlovu, a South African resident who shared his personal struggles. “My life is messed up and I believe God will restore, renew and redeem me and my family during this revival with Pastor Evelyn Joshua,” he prayed.

 

As of the time of this report, the Gallagher Convention Centre, where attendees are registering for the event, is witnessing a massive influx of people. Crowds are arriving in their thousands, full of joy, hope, and expectation for a divine encounter that many believe will mark a turning point in their lives.
With the Holy Spirit Visitation set to commence on May 16, anticipation is mounting that Johannesburg will witness not just a gathering, but a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit that could ripple far beyond the city.

Buratai Lauded by Top African Literature Scholar for Honouring Ekwensi

Buratai Lauded by Top African Literature Scholar for Honouring Ekwensi

 

The posthumous conferment of the inaugural T.Y. Buratai Literary Initiative (TYBLI) Young Adult Literature Award on legendary Nigerian author Cyprian O.D. Ekwensi has drawn international acclaim. One of Africa’s most renowned literary scholars, Prof. Ernest N. Emenyonu, described it as a “historic honour” and a vindication of Ekwensi’s enduring legacy. In a personal letter to Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (Rtd), Chairman of the TYBLI and the Tukur & Tukur Foundation, Prof. Emenyonu, emeritus Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Michigan-Flint and Editor of the globally recognised African Literature Today, expressed profound gratitude for the initiative. He praised the recognition of Ekwensi as a timely intervention that will inspire a renewed appreciation of Young Adult Literature (YAL) in Nigeria.

If Cyprian Ekwensi were alive today, he would cherish this award as his most indisputably merited recognition as a Nigerian writer,” Emenyonu stated. “This award is a clear and firm vindication of his pioneering contributions to Young Adult Literature in Nigeria.”

The professor, who has written two seminal books on Ekwensi—Cyprian Ekwensi (1974) and The Essential Ekwensi (1987)—revealed that he is currently editing the late author’s unpublished autobiography, which Ekwensi had entrusted to him shortly before his death in 2007.

“This award has added enormous inspiration and momentum to my work on his autobiography,” Emenyonu noted. Responding with appreciation, Lt. Gen. Buratai (Rtd) expressed humility and joy at the commendation, reiterating his commitment to celebrating icons of Nigerian literature. He said the TYBLI Award aims to highlight and reward authors who have shaped the nation’s literary landscape, particularly in the realm of youth literature. In his letter, Buratai affirmed: “Your words of praise and acknowledgment of the significance of the award in the global literary community encourage the efforts of the Initiative… I look forward to the publication of Ekwensi’s autobiography.” The TYBLI Award, created to honour authors of Young Adult Literature in Nigeria, was launched to elevate the genre’s status and promote literacy among younger generations. Cyprian Ekwensi was recognized as the inaugural recipient in November 2024, cementing his place in Nigeria’s literary hall of fame and energized ongoing efforts to immortalize his work for future generations. Prof. Emenyonu concluded his letter with heartfelt thanks, writing: “Personally, too, the award has added enormous inspiration and momentum to my work now on his autobiography. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” This transatlantic literary exchange marks a historic moment in Nigerian cultural recognition, uniting past and present champions of literature through honour, memory, and continued scholarship.
