Tinubu spoke with clarity on the challenges confronting the country and the solutions they require. His thoughts on how to move Nigeria to greater heights, rekindling their hopes in a greater tomorrow, were clear, unequivocal and realistic. Part of the solutions he offered is contained in his Action Plan for Renewed Hope in the country.
At Chatham House, Asíwájú Tinubu spoke on three main issues namely security, economic and foreign policies. His address was titled “Nigeria’s 2023 Elections: Security, Economic and Foreign Policy Imperatives.”
He was making a return to that elevated podium having also delivered a lecture there in 2011 as a leading opposition figure in Nigeria. He was also at the House with President Muhammadu Buhari in 2013 shortly after forming the APC, a coalition of progressives from the North and South of the country, which went on to win the presidential elections in 2015 and 2019.
To say Tinubu seized the moment at Chatham House last Monday is an understatement. He delivered an excellent address. To lend credence to this, the speech was punctuated at every turn by incessant thunderous applause. The moderator of the event, who is also the Managing Director, Ethics, Risk and Resilience of Chatham House and Director Africa Programme, Dr. Alex Vines OBE, demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues in Nigeria’s politics and elections and the person of Asíwájú Tinubu who he described as a former governor of Lagos and prominent politician who is no stranger to the House.
