Showunmi In X Twitter Speaks Of Role Of Destiny As Tinubu Gets Hosted By King Charles On UK State VisitÂ
President @officialABAT State Visit to UK. Never underestimate the place of destiny.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today, your journey has come full circle.
I remember Hilton Metropole, 1994. In exile, I asked you rhetorically what the struggle had cost you. You said: a lot, including selling your houses in America to sustain the democratic cause. I told you then: never mind you would be the greatest beneficiary of that struggle.
Today, in this same United Kingdom, where the concern then was how to secure travel documents to get to Auckland and push Nigeria’s democratic agenda at the @FCDOGovUK meeting you are now being hosted by the King and country.
History has a way of validating conviction.
You went to Auckland. You stayed the course. And now, destiny has spoken.
As I told you then: when my friends say something must move and it refuses they kick it. We did more than kick it. We moved serious nations to get here.
Akanni omo olode ide.
Ikoyi eso omo a gbo won nu, je bin lolu olori ogun.
I am happy for you. Truly.
And yes I congratulate myself too, for seeing what destiny had already written.
Alajobi agbe wa o. The optics are powerful. The moment is earned.
But as you return, remember there is still work to be done.
