Afam4eva:
Did you know Fashola, FAyemi and Ajimobi before they became governor? Did they win because they had a name politically or because Tinubu used his influence? Pls don't mention Oshiomole again because he won his first term on the platform of Labour party and he won because he was Osho baba and not because of his party.

Sincere 9gerian: Tinubu appears "powerful" only in certain people's imagination. He's only enjoying the status of being the ONLY former governor in ACN at the moment. When more former governors emerge and as new generation of ACN governors emerge in ACN, Tinubu's imaginary powers will fade away.

However, one thing is not in doubt. Tinubu has used his position as the face of the opposition to build an empire of wealth for HIMSELF, perhaps in anticipation of when his political influence will wane.

OBJ lost out in his battle with Tinubu for the soul of southwest because OBJ was too silly that he NEVER reckoned with PERFORMANCE as a parameter for choosing his foot solders and putting people in positions of authority. While OBJ was using federal might to put people in positions of authority, the only parameter that was on his mind was loyalty. On the other hand, Tinubu was wise enough to consider both loyalty and PERFORMANCE. That made all the difference.

Delible: Who is Tinubu? We will soon smoke him. Just watch.

naijababe:

Please stop Afam , you digging yourself into a deeper hole.

Fashola vs. Obanikoro
Ajimobi vs. Alao Akala
Fayemi vs. Segun Oni
Oshiomole vs. Airhiavbere
Amosun vs. Olurin
Aregbe vs. Oyinlola

Yes ACN candidates truly have low self esteem and are non entities.

Sincere 9gerian:
Such "deal" only exist in your clueless mind.

There's NOTHING like that. GEJ won in the southwest fair and square. Otherwise, show us concrete evidence that such deal existed BEFORE votes were cast for the 2011 presidential election.

What was Tinubu supposed to do to help GEJ win going by the imaginary "deal"? Was Tinubu supposed to alter the results of votes cast? Or Mobilize his supporters to vote GEJ? If he was to mobilize people to vote for GEJ, show us how he did that before votes were cast. NONSENSE!

Afam4eva:
Tinubu won't make the mistake of putting someone that will usurp him. He puts relative nonentities there with low self-esteem who will remain loyal to him for a very long time. Word even has it that he'll most likely keep it in the family in 2015.

WalesWonder811: Tinubu may be powerful but he's never my favourite type of leader.
He may also be the centre that holds ACN now but I pray he doesn't end up like chief Bola Ige after whose demise AD started falling and failing apart.

Sweetlemon: Me, I don't know if Tinubu "sold" SW votes to Jonathan. All I know is that for Jonathan to send a jet to pick Tinubu up shows a lot about how influential Tinubu is.
Please ehow many other Nigerians do we know of who can boast of this privilege?
How many politicians can look into OBJ's eyes and tell him to go to hell??
Haba! Give it to the man abeg!

Mutaino7:
That means you are not aware of Ayo fayose. Baba called him bastard 4 not greeting him he replied by calling him father of bastards.

naijababe:

And what became of Fayose afterwards?

musiwa20: First of all tinubu was not the one who knew justice Ayo salami... I know who justice Ayo salami is..

So the lies that tinubu help mimiko, kayode fashola, aregbesola, adams oshimolo is not correct.. You can go ask Justice ayo salami, if he know tinubu.

And most of the things they claim tinubu did.. is not correct.

I can show you, I am the reason, many people went into politics in nigeria.. and not tinubu...

if you notice alot of them went to the university of ilorin because i started posting the satellite pictures of Nigeria.. And they know nigeria will go to civil war..


I dont think tinubu is that powerful as you people make it to be. If you want to collect money from tinubu , you go meet tinubu and collect money.. You are making fashola look weak. Tinubu never knew justice ayo salami, like you people made it to be..

i know who ayo salami is..


Lagos is a state with alot of churches, more than mosque.. an average lagos street has 4 to 5 churches with only 1 mosque. tinubu is a muslim.. so relatively tinubu is on a wrong turf..

I will beat tinubu for example in lagos,, because of the large size of churches.. and not just because i am christain but because of the born again factor would work for me , even beating fashola in lagos..
because we control the churches in lagos.. if we say dont vote for ACN or PDP, they would not vote for ACN or PDP


You can see them turn off electricity on Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in lagos in church.

That why you need to be in my good books.. i join a church when it had 1 church.. the church now have several thousand of churches around the world. and i training many people who later became pastors. they can tell their church members not to vote for you. And i know several general oversear, which all add up to over millions of people.

Afam4eva:

It also baffles me that some people actually think Jonathan had a deal with Tinubu to deliver Lagos votes to him. How's that even possible? Most of my family voted for GEJ except myself. I want to know how Tinubu was able to influence my family into voting Jonathan. Except they're telling us that Tinubu rigged Lagos election for JOnathan.

Mr.chippychappy:
He knows what he is talking about. Of recent Ike shorunmu has been trying to replace Enyeama with either Dele ayenugba or Ajiboye , He hardly commends Enyeama rather he keeps talking about how Ayenugba and Ajiboye are "ready" to take over . Check the sports tabloids you would notice it also . Shorunmu's people destroyed NEPA, NPF, NPA now they want to destroy the Nigerian super eagles , E no go work O!!! .

WalesWonder811: When talking about ACN where is the party chairman in the picture? Chief Bisi Akande doesn't come to mind at all. I think Tinubu's image over shadows the entire party. Ah oga o.

Omo_Tier1:
Classified Ode! Was it not for the dealing and begging your clueless one did at the last minute, do you think He would have made inroads into South West?

2015 will clearly show you how influential Tinubu is, when your clueless will be sent packing. Despite not being in power since 2007, He still possess the swag to pull smart and visionary individuals from all corners of Nigeria to join in building ACN, something your GEJ can only dream of.

Our Yansh: 1. Tinubu is‎​ a smart chap. He understands the game of politics and plays it very well.

2. He's a visionary leader. His interest lies in building for tomorrow and not just for the day.

3. He's a Good manager of men and materials. That's evident from the way he managed Lagos finance (even without Federal allocation) as well as the calibre of people he has helped become Governors of the SW region.

4. He loves his people, chasing the killer-party from the SW is‎​ the best thing anyone could have done for SWesterners at the time..

Etc etc...

Ninilowo:
Ta lawon?

anonimi:

Only your #1 is correct.
Tinubu is simply a very smart crook who understands our individual greediness and lack of personal courage to tackle our problems hence the abandonment of responsibility at all levels and seeking messiahs ALWAYS for the smallest things.

# 2 means he raised IGR significantly i.e. the individual tax burden in various forms on each RESIDENT of Lagos state was increased without commensurate ACCOUNTABILITY increase. Hence the smart alec was stealing everyone blind and the mugus were and are still praising him.
Double loss! Double wahala!!
For #s 3&4, please tell me if Lagos state has potable water in ALL houses and free quality primary & secondary education with textbooks after 14 years of unbroken, continuous "progressive" politics in the state

joeyfire: How could I forget the most important point.

He made obasanjo feel like a chump. When obj witheld lagos state allocation tinubu made lagos self reliant by force. Baba was suddenly the toothless bulldog and tinubu became a hero

ewet:
You set up your own political party and run it whicheva way u thnk is rite.But if u havnt done this you need to just shut up and quit whining.If you were half as gud as tht guy is you wuld be far ahead by now.

kolexy:

Are you a teenager? What happened to the former AD governors? Otunba Niyi Adebayo of Ekiti, Bisi Akande of Osun and Segun Osoba of Ogun. Tinubu is dangerously generous, streetwise and is a master strategist. These are important ingredients to succeed in politics.
