Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, a Political Science expert and former Minister of External Affairs, has shared some insights about the days when they fought to restore democracy in Nigeria under NADECO. He said he was particularly impressed by the extensive network of contacts that Bola Tinubu, now the president, had across Africa. In a video shared by TVC, Akinyemi recalled instances during the NADECO days when Tinubu would call him and advise him to leave certain places immediately. He said Tinubu always seemed to know about potential dangers through his network of contacts. Akinyemi stated that Tinubu’s ability to create and maintain extensive network of contacts is a talent that will continue to benefit Nigeria. In Akinyemi’s words: “I would be in a place, then I will get a call and Tinubu will say Prof, I think you better leave there latest tomorrow morning. And it would be when I get back to London that he would tell me what had been planned in that place through his contacts, he will know. So, creating links is not new to our president and I am sure this country will continue to benefit from his ability to create links”.
