Don’t forget we all know where Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu picked you from.
I’m the only unfortunate one among all of us that he is yet to make the governor.
We are all part and parcel of “Team Lagos”.
We all play a role directly or indirectly, one time or the other.
So, if someone who has given so much to all of us now demands our loyalty and support for his ambition, I think we must not be found wanting.
If he decides not to contest again, let us wait for his instructions.
You are now forming big man. You? Haba! “Ti iresi ba npa okuta, se enu onibara loye ki ati gbo nni? (If there is a pebble inside cooked rice, beggars have no right to complain).
BATTLE AGAINST A LEADER, IS A LOST BATTLE, NO MATTER WHO IS BACKING YOU.
Political office holders, please, hear me very well.
The battle against your leader is a battle you can never win no matter who is backing you.
Don’t even attempt it. You can never win.
You may be anointed to kill Goliath but will forever not be anointed and permitted to kill Saul.
Ask David whenever you see him.
You cannot ERASE the man who RAISED you.
You cannot DISHONOUR the man who made people HONOUR you.
You cannot bring EMBARRASSMENT to the man who endorsed you.
Never become a PROBLEM to the man who gave you a PLATFORM to rise.
Why become a WARFARE to the man who took care of your WELFARE.
Strive not to become a DISAPPOINTMENT to the man who gave you the APPOINTMENT.
How can a man put so much INVESTMENT into your life, and your “thank you to him” is to put so much SORROW into his own life.
In most cases, a leader may be the one who WRONGED you. But remember, the God who ANOINTED David to kill Goliath will not ALLOW him to kill Saul.
The DRUNKENNESS of Noah is not a licence to expose his NAKEDNESS.
That will be WICKEDNESS AND FOOLISHNESS in the sight of God.
One of the sons of Noah EXPOSED his father’s NAKEDNESS, FORGETTING it was his father’s RIGHTEOUSNESS that once SAVED him from the FLOOD.
Remember, Noah found GRACE with GOD, yet he found DISGRACE with his son.
If you KNOW the WEAKNESS of your leader, its because he gave you the ACCESS you don’t DESERVE
I AM NOT HERE TO DEFEND THE ERRORS OF A LEADER
Never forget this statement for the rest of your life.
The PERSONS who came to TELL king David that they have finally KILLED Saul his ENEMY, were also killed by David as their REWARD for KILLING a BACKSLIDDEN PROPHET.
THINK ABOUT IT.
For those going through the pain of betrayal, heal them and bring them out stronger.
