Popoola Babalola: An open letter to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Dear Asiwaju,

I trust that this letter will meet you in the best state of health and in highest form of sound mind. I am also hopeful that your family is doing well in all ramifications.

I will like to congratulate you, on the success of the APC in the 2015 general elections. No individual in modern day Nigeria has worked as much as you did to get us to where we are. This is some considerable level of success. Never in Nigeria’s political history has the progressive taken control of the centre until now. I believe this would not have been possible without your immense sacrificed and doggedness. For this, I want to thank you and express my profound gratitude for helping us in seeing a matured democracy. Without mincing words, your role as a democrat and a leader of a virile and strong opposition has helped us sustain our democracy and build a solid nation.
