And If Nigeria were a company, RIBADU just demonstrated CEO-level crisis handlingπ Or if Nigeria were a military unit, he just proved he understands diplomatic warfare. RIBADU is an A student no doubt,,,, He did what great leaders do,,, He separated noise from negotiation, Emotion from strategy & ego from responsibility,,,
That is the difference between a politician & a statesman. A politician talks. A statesman calculates.
I seriously believe that the Presidency is grooming RIBADU for a possible takeover in 2031,,, If BAT supported & pushed him to be President and he got 1 million votes 14 years ago,,. I see no reason why he won't support him again,,, After all No one becomes president by noise,,, They become president by moments like this,,, moments that require discipline under pressure, diplomacy under fire, wisdom under uncertainty & Courage under global eyes. RIBADU passed like an A' studentπ€π€
Yesterday, I met with Nigeriaβs National Security Advisor and his team to discuss the horrific violence against Christians in their country.
Under @POTUS leadership, DOW is working aggressively with Nigeria to end the persecution of Christians by jihadist terrorists.

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is taking very bold steps, ruffling local and international feathers, and doing what must be done for God and Country while displaying remarkable coordination capacity while projecting an external calm that belies the hurricane of internal processes. Bravo.
