We Will Beg Obasanjo To Support Tinubu’s Presidential Bid – Senator Ogunlewe

 A former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe has expressed confidence that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo will back Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.

Even though the former president has not publicly endorsed any presidential candidate, his body language tends towards Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Last month, Obasanjo also warned supporters of Tinubu who claimed that he has endorsed him after a meeting between both men in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, who was present at the meeting between Obasanjo and Tinubu was a sign of victory for Tinubu come 2023.

However, speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Ogunlewe said Yoruba elders will beg Obasanjo and prevail on him to support Tinubu’s presidential bid.

“Obasanjo will support Tinubu at the end of the day. Nobody should worry about that. We will beg him to support us. The first thing you must do is to canvass your position and let him know that you are better than the other person. Obasanjo is a reasonable person”.

“ Persuade him and show what you can do and he will follow you. It is when your stuff is low that is when he cannot support you. You must match him with intelligence because the Obasanjo I know will never follow you blindly”.

“There is no sentiment in choosing our leaders again. We have experimented enough. Countries that are at par with us 20 years ago are now far ahead of us. Somebody must restore the glory of this country. If we don’t elect a credible person as president in 2023, we are going to be in trouble. I am so optimistic that with a president like Bola Tinubu choosing the best team, Nigeria’s lost glory will be restored,” he said.

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

  THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY     In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today.   In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity.   Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...
