After watching Tinubu on TV last night, he spoke with assured authority and exuding so much confidence. He seemingly commands quite a number of followership in the southwest.
From his comments, he seems to be in control of the party(APC).
All efforts to know his role in APC proved abortive, as I checked the structure of political parties in Nigeria as laid down by the electoral Act and there was no role for him.
Statutory roles of influence and leadership of political parties were:
Chairman : John Oyegun.
National secretary: Lai mohammed.

The only two options left were that of a chairman Board of Trustees and that of godfather.

Dear nairalanders,
I have and utmost faith in your political analysis and deductive reasoning ability to help me decipher this puzzle by answerin this question:
What is the role of Bola Tinubu in APC - chairman Board of Trustees or godfather

Tinubu is more of a godfather in APC. He's the engine room of APC's business and financial empire.

Is godfatherism legitimate?

Tinubu is the national leader of the party. It is obvious from your analysis that you are not well grounded in the knowledge of how political parties are formed so you may not understand the role played by Tinubu in ensuring the emergence of an alternative and viable national party in Nigeria. And again, Lai Mohammed is APC national publicity secretary and not national secretary.

Tinubu was national leader up until APC convention was held. Immediately after the acceptance speech by Buhari, he was reduced to SW leader. If APC wins the presidency, Tinubu's power will be totally down-graded just like OBJ to an ordinary party man. Tinubu knew this all along and wanted to be VP so that he could remain relevant. He could still regain control though, because I understand he is still grieving the loss of VP position and may unwittingly still "sell out" to the masters of the game - PDP

And it was you that reduced him from the party's national leader to south west leader right? You can believe whatever your fancy imaginations come up with but that does not change the fact that he remains a national leader of the party and he will continue to influence critical decisions at the national level of the party.

Nope. It's the hight of power lust, cluelessness and corruption which Tinubu truly represent in APC.
