In a groundbreaking announcement, Leadership newspaper has declared President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Leadership Person of the Year 2023.
The accolade recognized Tinubu’s dedicated leadership, unwavering determination, and significant accomplishments in the political arena. His exceptional “can-do spirit” set him apart as a quintessential politician, and the award citation specifically applauds his monumental efforts in securing the APC candidacy and emerging victorious in the 2023 presidential election.
The citation states, “For a can-do spirit that has marked him out as a quintessential politician, for bracing monumental odds to emerge as the candidate of his party, the APC, and winning the 2023 presidential election; and for a raft of difficult but necessary decisions to reposition the country, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Person of the Year 2023.”
Meanwhile, Truth Live News gathered that Peter Obi, one of President Tinubu’s opponents in the 2023 election, has been named Politician of the Year by the board of editors. Obi’s first-time entry into the presidential race left a positive impact on the political landscape, earning him admiration, especially from young voters.
This pleasant shock by Obi garnered recognition from the editorial board, solidifying his position as the Politician of the Year.
It’s worth noting that President Tinubu had earlier secured a spot on Time Magazine’s prestigious list of the 100 most influential people. The 71-year-old All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain was among the 20 world leaders featured in the 2023 edition of the magazine, further highlighting his global impact and significance in the political arena.
