Chief Olabode George speaks on the jamboree visit to Aso Villa

Image
The visit of Chief Bisi Akande,  Prince Tajudeen Olusi,  Dr Yomi Finnih and Chief Segun Osoba to the seat of power in Abuja is needless, unnecessary, veiled in some poorly hidden agenda that is woven in apparently self-serving ulterior personalized desperation. It is easy to discern that the visit is stripped of any patriotic progression, lacking in balanced national leadership, voided of a spirit of   sacrifice and developmental vision.  The very absence of Bola Tinubu from the jamboree screams to high heavens that the meeting itself is a  covert placatory softening of the ground for Tinubu himself . I am pretty certain that in his very absence , Tinubu occupies the centrality of the discussion. President  Muhammadu  Buhari should not fall for those who would eclipse the main issue wracking Lagos state in a needless,  solicitous self immersed scheming in partisan engagement. The very  pivot of the Lagosian malady is the reckless, irresponsible misappropriation of the Lagos
