In a statement on Sunday, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, highlighted Tinubu’s longstanding preparation for leadership and his active efforts to reshape the country. “President Tinubu is not an accidental leader,” said Onanuga. “He has been prepared for this role and is working diligently to bring about meaningful change in Nigeria.
