Cast your mind back to March 29, 2021.
It was the 12th Bola Tinubu Colloquium in Kano, a celebration of the then APC national leader’s 69th birthday.
The man was speaking his mind on insecurity, and he made a proposal that Nigerians would use to pelt him right through the 2023 presidential elections.
“Recruit 50 million youths into the army,” he said. “And what would they eat? Cassava, agbado (corn), yam, will grow here.”
And suddenly, agbado and corn became etched in the imagination of millions of Nigerians. An entire movement of supporters was named “Agbadoists” overnight.
