Embracing Change: A Call to Support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Reforms, Banji Alabi Esq charges Nigerians 

The only constant thing in life is change, yet people consistently resist it. We can’t keep doing things the same way and expect different results. I recall when automatic transmission was first introduced; people resisted it until automobile companies offered incentives and discounts. Today, who wants to drive a stick-shift vehicle?

When I joined Chevron in 1990, my Peugeot 505 American spec with automatic transmission was seen as a bad investment, prone to problems. Many colleagues opted for manual cars, but today, who drives manual?

People resist change due to fear of the unknown, lack of vision, or mistrust in leaders. Complacency also plays a role, but trying new things is essential in a constantly evolving world.

Some Nigerians see our country as a problem, while others see opportunities. Nigeria is an evolving economy with abundant opportunities waiting to be seized. No sharp Nigerian should complain of hunger or suffering.

I’ve seen how people work tirelessly in America, yet they face stress and challenges. They’re not complaining; they’re creating opportunities. We can do the same.

Those opposing Tinubu’s reforms might be educated but not wise. Change is inherent to growth. Great leaders like Lee Kuan Yew, Mao, Deng, and Kagame stood firm despite criticism. Let’s give Tinubu a chance; Nigeria will be better for it. His leadership is rare; let’s appreciate God’s gift.

Let’s support President Tinubu’s reforms and move Nigeria forward!
