Tinubu’s seven wonders in seven weeks

<p>With uncommon courage, President Tinubu has taken a number of decisions, which surprised many observers.</p>, <span>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in on Monday, May 29, 2023. Presidency</span>, <h2>That President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ramped up the engine of governance in Nigeria and hit the waves immediately he was sworn in on May 29, 2023, is not news anymore.</h2>, <p>From Abuja to Zurich, the story is the same: a new sheriff is in town and he is in a haste to give the giant of Africa a new lease of life.</p>, <p>In the seven weeks he has been on the saddle at the Presidential Villa, President Tinubu has made those who stuck out their necks for him proud. He has also put to shame those who wanted anyone but him.</p>, <p>Those who sold a grotesque caricature of the man in a bid to stop him are embarrassed. Doubters and naysayers who were either skeptical or outrightly opposed to a Tinubu presidency are being converted not by propaganda but by the weight of the man’s actions.</p>, <p>Just as I was settling down to work on this piece a cerebral friend, who I know as not generous with praises, called me to confess how he was “happily disappointed” by President Tinubu’s leadership skills. He has now been converted to be a PBAT cheerleader.</p>, <p>For my friend and many others, there are myriad of things that President Tinubu has done or traits he has exhibited in the past seven weeks that they never thought he could do.

But with President Tinubu now at the centre stage, at a vantage position for all to see the stuff he is made of, most Nigerians are now wiser.</p>, <p>In public and in small group chitchats, the talk now is how the President has been performing wonders to the surprise of many. Here I curate a few of the talking points on the lips of many Nigerians.</p>,
