‎This Is Not The Tinubu We Knew In Lagos – Shan George

‎Nollywood veteran Shan George has weighed in on the governance and track record of President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that he was more effective as governor of Lagos State.
‎
‎
‎Reflecting on the administration and leadership at present, Shan, a resident of Lagos and one of those who contributed to Nollywood in the early days, thinks that age has caught up with the president.

She said that she could not feel his acumen and lofty strides now as they were then, advising the president not to go for a second term or step down.
‎
‎
‎Giving her opinion in this narration, she said,  “I remember when Tinubu was Lagos State Governor, he did with Lagos, what Otti is currently doing in Abia State. At that time, OBJ was the President and had some political disagreement with Tinubu, yet Tinubu forged on and carried Lagos state with a lot of grace and panache, turning the city into an even better place than he had found it, building MM2, dualising Allen Avenue, and many other roads within Lagos. He cleared the streets of area boys and created LASTMA, among many other good works, without much support from the federal government. It was a good time to live in Lagos then. Lagosians loved Tinubu.
‎
‎”And so, I believe that’s the yardstick he was measured with, while weighing him for the kind of capacity needed for the role of a President.
‎
‎”But the President we are seeing now makes me wonder, where is the Tinubu we used to know? The Tinubu who stood and protested, and won against many past instances of bad governance, right from when I was still wearing diapers? The Tinubu who fought OBJ hands down and made Lagos a heaven? The real City Boy, what happened?
‎
‎”In my opinion, AGE happened, which is a natural call and should not be faulted, his lifelong desire and goal has always been to become the President of Nigeria, hence the EMILOKAN surge, quite understandable, he got it, and that’s great. But at this point, even he should step down on his own without being told, it’s honourable to leave the stage when there’s still some applause, loud or not.
‎
‎”But his cronies won’t tell him now, their gains in it won’t let them, until they push him to work himself to kpai, cos being the President of Nigeria, THE GIANT OF AFRICA, is not moimoi, baba should Just resign now.
‎
‎”My name is Shan George, an International Award Winning African Film Maker. And I’m proudly Nigerian. I’m not a card carrier of Any Political Party, I don’t support Tinubu, neither am I currently supporting any presidential candidate, I’m Just a Good Citizen bearing her mind respectfully.”
