Mr. President: Last night, you provided one of the most important business cases for ages. Yes, if I have to relinquish power for my team to win, that is normal, and I will do it. You did it before the nation, and that is leadership.
Nations rise when great entrepreneurs emerge. But nations only ascend when visionary political leaders build the platforms where those entrepreneurs operate on. Those platforms are the rule of law, catalytic and generation-shaping physical infrastructures, and the trust in the future.
I want to salute you because last night, you taught me a lesson: any great project must be above and beyond any human, including the personal ambition of the United States President. In the Igbo Nation, elders say “the okro crop will never grow taller than the planter”, meaning that the next generation of Democrats you are seeding by this decision will always remain your boys and girls.

I voted for you last time. But I would have passed this election because I had felt you were not the best in this cycle. But after your decision over the weekend, I will be voting. And across my network, the excitement is huge, even as you challenged us that if you, Mr President, could lose power to save power, we must learn.
I was in your entourage in 2014 when you traveled to Marrakech Morocco. That day you made a speech, and noted that when the nation of US was born, Morocco was the first to recognize it as an independent country. Today, Ndubuisi says that you are the most selfless leader of the 21st century, for relinquishing the most powerful job on earth to save your nation.
History will be kind, and this is irrespective of whatever happens between Harris and Trump; either is more prepared than you!

Nothing beats political oratory when it comes to speech making, it’s the zenith of all oratory. This is because, it is the only form of oratory where no proof or apparent proof is needed, the facts are simply what your audience say they are. So, here we go.
Well, the man Biden didn’t relinquish power, rather he was forced out. He wouldn’t have done otherwise, else he would be standing alone by November. The sequence was clearly orchestrated. For years and months, Democrats and their media allies already knew that Biden was bad market, but the lie continued, because it’s politics, where facts are not needed. The June debate came early for a purpose – to give enough time for the maneuvering. Immediately after the debate, all of them started reading from the same scripts, all yammering identical things. So, all along they never knew that Biden was finished? But again, it’s politics, where facts are inconsequential.
Then came Trump’s attempted assassination. Would Biden still dropped out if Trump were to be killed? That point would remain unknown, because it’s impossible to argue on improbable. After Trump survived assassination, the next big thing became Biden dropping out…
Magically, Biden is legendary, just like GEJ in 2015.
