President Tinubu, despite claiming to be prepared for the role, is struggling. We are still trying to find our footing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe took over from Buhari, who had already disengaged from governance. Buhari succeeded Jonathan, a man who never envisioned himself as president but was thrust into leadership due to circumstances. Jonathan took over from Yar\u2019Adua, who planned to return to teaching after his governorship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYar\u2019Adua succeeded Obasanjo, who was unexpectedly released from prison to become president. Before that, Obasanjo replaced Abacha, who was poised to rule indefinitely until nature intervened. Abacha followed Shonekan, a business executive abruptly drafted to lead the country. The cycle is evident, and the missing link in all of this is knowledge and preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-feed\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-feed-container render-late-effect tbl-feed-frame-DIVIDER\" data-feed-container-num=\"1\" data-feed-main-container-id=\"taboola-below-article-feed\" data-parent-placement-name=\"Below Article Feed\" data-pub-lang=\"en\">\n<div class=\"tbl-feed-header tbl-logo-right-position\">\n<div class=\"tbl-feed-header-logo\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-feed-pl1\" class=\"tbl-feed-card trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_organic-thumbs-feed-01-delta\" data-card-index=\"1\" data-placement-name=\"Below Article Feed | Card 1\">\n<div class=\"trc_rbox_container\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"trc_wrapper_3602371437\" class=\"trc_rbox organic-thumbs-feed-01-delta trc-content-organic\">\n<div id=\"outer_3602371437\" class=\"trc_rbox_outer\">\n<div id=\"rbox-t2v\" class=\"trc_rbox_div trc_rbox_border_elm\">\n<div id=\"internal_trc_3602371437\">\n<div class=\"videoCube trc_spotlight_item origin-undefined textItem thumbnail_top videoCube_1_child trc-first-recommendation trc-spotlight-first-recommendation trc_excludable\" data-item-id=\"~~V1~~-8011371476785881100~~Y7NrhFBh3MQJC8gS_19CZQ\" data-item-title=\"Simon Ekpa writes Finland President over Biafra Declaration\" data-item-thumb=\"https:\/\/dailypost.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ekpa.jpeg\" data-item-syndicated=\"false\">\n<div class=\"thumbBlock_holder\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Kukah, has spoken about an \u201caccidental leadership cycle\u201d which he claims produced President Bola Tinubu, his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari, and other former Nigerian leaders.
