Nigerians react as ICC is renamed after Tinubu

None of these structures or institutions were initiated by him; they were established by previous administrations. If he wants to name something after himself, it should be a project he initiated and built from the ground up.

The sycophants are to blame. Any sensible person knows that legacy isn't built on signboards, it is earned through results. But you can't be a sycophant and be sensible at the same time.

His presidency is a ‘selfishly defined’ project. No doubt that he put his name on everything. Okorocha should mold an image of Bola for all Nigerians to worship.

That's just temporary I believe someone will change them one day.

Darlington Anyanwu

It's evident that Abuja would soon be included among the states he built.

I think the idea of renaming those edifices after him is most likely not what he craves but the idea of his appointees and allies who see that as an avenue to massage his ego and a way of showing loyalty to him. Whereas, a cerebral person as him is expected to be wary of such gimmicks and not give in to such shenanigans, realizing the fact that the best way to immortalize himself is by implementing policies that would make the Life of an average person better off.

The thing I find offensive in all of that is the resources expended in all those ceremonial flagging off and commissioning.

Reason I renamed Minna Airport after Tinubu

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Governor Mohammed Bago after heavy criticism, explained his reason for renaming Minna airport after Tinubu.

Bago disclosed that it was simply to put a square peg in a square hole, noting that the decision was a good one.

This is coming less than a year after the airport was named after the late literary icon, Abubakar Imam.
