President Tinubu foresaw the religious and ethnic sentiments that would be deployed during the 2023 election long before they became obvious to many. With a single, well-calculated statement, he effectively neutralized that strategy and shattered the foundation upon which Peter Obi's presidential ambition was being built without even mentioning his name. Looking at the political landscape today, it is difficult to ignore how much of the agitation surrounding Obi's movement is still anchored on ethnic and religious sentiments, particularly the narratives centered around Igbo identity and Catholic solidarity. That is why foresight remains one of the most important qualities of leadership. President Tinubu identified where that strength would likely come from, anticipated the direction of the campaign, and strategically dismantled its appeal long before its proponents realized their playbook had already been read. Politics is often won not only by reacting to events but by seeing them long before they unfold.
