I was online last week when I stumbled upon a clip that I had first seen a long time ago. There was President Bola Tinubu, GCFR, years before his presidency, defending a decision against detractors that perfectly encapsulates why I call him the King of the Long Game:
“…When I invested Lagos State funds in Econet they criticised me. But I used #4 billion to bring bock #19 billion to Lagos State. So, who really made the better decision?
…the truth is, when you’re superior to them in knowledge, in intellectual capacity, in professionalism, they do not engage on the issues. Instead, they try to drag you into the mud. And when you wrestle with a pig, you get stained.
