Was Tinubu Praised Before the Presidency Mainly for His Personal Generosity?

This post reacts to Babachir Lawal’s remarks about President Bola Tinubu. The writer argues that Tinubu was considered generous before becoming president because he gave personal money and helped people without expecting favours. According to the writer’s interpretation, some former allies now view Tinubu negatively because they no longer have the same access to him or to financial support. The writer questions whether criticism of the president is driven by disappointment over personal benefits rather than governance. The post is presented as a personal opinion and wishes progressives a happy Sunday.

How do people separate praise for personal generosity from approval of someone's public leadership once they become president?

Exactly. Private kindness and public performance should be judged separately, with clear standards for each.

The post highlights a clear contrast: helping people personally can build goodwill, but governing is judged by a much wider standard.

Personal generosity may matter, but it should not automatically become evidence that a leader will perform well in office.

It helps to discuss both sides separately: what someone did privately before office, and the outcomes people expect from government.
