Don't go far....just check what tinubu is doing.

It is exactly what his kinsman would have done.

but how can you compare the great Awolowo with this emilokan with baggage of questionable character ?
Awo was a realist and a visionary leader whose love for his Yoruba people was never in doubt, though he was never a core nationalist, because i believe he was a realist to the core, he was a wise man that realized that it's impossible to force nationalism on people that are not ready for it.
but his great achievements as the leader of the western region, had proven him to be a great leader with great achievements.
Awolowo 's free education policy helped to accelerate the development of western region above other regions in Nigeria.
Awolowo believed in welfarism and the well-being of his subjects, while emilokan believes in the well-being of his political elites and incessant taxation of the masses.
at the end of emilokan regime, more billionaires will emerge, while the survival of an average masses of Nigeria, could be termed miraculous, because of hardships.
i prefer a humanist AWO than a greedy taskmaster emilokan.

but Awolowo 's ideology is not in his character, infact emilokan is far from being an awoist .
emilokan the taskmaster can never be compared to Awolowo the humanist with a verifiable welfare policies .

Why are you guys so flippin'
mischievous & lie so effortlessly?

Where did emilikan said he's following Awo's, rather what he said was that, he will continue where Buhari left off?

The sad and annoying thing about your ilk is that you know the truth but just can't help being obnoxious and morally bankrupt as represented in your Dna.

However, pictures of the below to show that kwashiorkor and starvation actually happened..

Fundamentally corruption aside they are basically the same

Same ideology

They believe the best way to grow the economy is by building legacy projects that are not viable and won't improve revenue or even create corresponding employment when compared to the money spent

Look at his legacies?.

The wasteful cocoa house that can never break even

NTA? Or should I say nigerian house UK
Tribune?
Wama bank?

This are all socialist projects that can never be effective

He and zik where in the same category

Sir Michael okpara was the only one different

there you go, always looking at issues based on tribalism, by typing rubbish;
treachery runs in your blood and you think you are making sense, even when am not a Yoruba man.
am an Igbo man, but i appreciate the fact that Awolowo provided free education to his region back then, while his other contemporaries were making education very expensive to the poor, and others outrightly exploiting the vulnerable illiteracy of their people.
Though chief Awolowo may not be perfect, just like every other humans, but he stand out as a leader who had the best interest of his subjects and work towards it.
Quality education is key to the development of any nation, had it been other Nigeria leaders followed the noble step of Awolowo by providing free education to Nigerians, Nigeria wouldn't be in this present pitiable situation, where some retards don't see any big deal in killing their fellow innocent citizens because of archaic outdated religious beliefs, illicit accumulation of wealth, and pure hatred/wickedness.
how can you compare emilokan 's owomida system of lazy youths in Lagos to that of Awolowo 's quality standard of education ?

Awolowo is far more better than Azikiwe as regards to his commitment to the service of his people, because while the great zik was busy chasing after the elusive nationalism of the Nigeria nation, Awolowo was busy positioning his people strategically through free and qualitative education and basic critical infrastructures.
i believe that if Awolowo were to be in the place of Azikiwe, the Biafra war history would have been a different story all together, because Awolowo wouldn't have turned his back on his people, the manner
Azikiwe did, all in the name of unity and nationalism, which unfortunately 6 decades counting, Nigeria is still looking for the elusive unity and nationalism.
Presently where is the Nigeria unity ?
where are the Nigeria nationalists ?

I must be honest with you, you have problems oh! shocked

Your problem is way beyond Tinubu, Nigeria can't solve your problem.
Even if 1$ turns 1 naira and the price of fuel reduces to 20/litre it will still not solve your problem.

Your problem is deeeeeep!
