Yesterday, May 29th, 2023, history was made, history that has the capacity of changing the political landscape of the Nigeria as a country and African continent for the better or otherwise.
History, because in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, two former governors and senators, Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, took the oath of office as President and Vice President respectively. History, because, for the first time in the history of Nigeria, two practicing Muslims took the oath of office as President and Vice President. It is also the first time in history that a Yoruba Muslim from the South-West will be sworn-in as Nigeria’s President.
Beyond the history that was made, Nigerians, again have the opportunity to yearn for a workable and working nation and government, a government built on the need to take Nigerians and Nigeria out of the woods and create a liveable society for all to excel.
