The Preparation

But Nigeria’s newly elected President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has had nearly two decades to prepare.
Called Jagaban, or “leader of the warriors,” by his supporters, the now 71-year-old ran in a presidential election for the first time this March.
His campaign slogan, “It’s my turn,” was a nod to his role as a longtime political power broker.
Tinubu helped restore the country’s democracy in 1999 after fighting military rule and then served two consecutive terms as governor of Lagos,”
