Hardly news, everyone knows that Tinubu will be the de-facto President.

Listen to Buhari speak and listen to him explain his past policies; his future policies; listen to those who speak of his administrative incompetence and you will understand that he is no president.

‘Jagaban’ cements reputation as Nigeria’s Svengali in Buhari win

From his redoubt on Bourdillon road in upmarket Lagos, a man popularly known as the Jagaban cemented his reputation this week as a political Svengali with the role he played helping to orchestrate the downfall of Nigeria’s sitting president, Goodluck Jonathan.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose name comes from a chieftaincy title bestowed on him by the town of Borgu, in Nigeria’s north, was from 1999 to 2007 the provincial governor of the country’s economic engine, the coastal state and megacity of Lagos.

The political godfather of Nigeria’s south west, Mr Tinubu’s unlikely alliance with the austere former military ruler, now president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, made possible the first opposition victory in Nigeria’s electoral history.
“There needed to be an alignment for us to be able to stare down the government in power. There needed to be a catalyst for that alignment. He was the most prepared for that,” says one of Mr Tinubu’s lieutenants.


The manner in which that alignment evolves, is now among the big questions Nigerians are asking when considering the likely character of the incoming administration. Described as “deeply Machiavellian” and a “master strategist” by one of his party peers, the Jagaban has cannily built a political empire among ethnic Yorubas in Lagos and the south west, as formidable, according to allied politicians, as that of Obafemi Awolowo, who led Nigeria’s second largest ethnic block at independence.


He did so over the past decade and a half, having survived a string of bruising turf wars with the ruling People’s Democratic party, which was forged from political networks across Nigeria during the 1998 transition from military rule. PDP barons had become so adept since at oiling the electoral machine, that they sometimes boasted the party would still be in power in 100 years.


It was the merger of the Action Congress last year, with the party of the president-elect, strong in the north but weak elsewhere, that made it possible for the opposition to challenge and ultimately defeat the PDP. The two parties between them controlled block support in both of Nigeria’s most populous regions; Mr Tinubu’s in the south west and Gen Buhari’s in the north west.


“I am in the same union as Buhari to salvage a Nigeria that is drifting and that has faced a storm of economic deterioration,” Mr Tinubu said at a celebration party at his house this week. Outside the formidable gates, a mob of hundreds of young men ecstatic at the success of their city patron, were shouting “Jagaban”.


Yet the Jagaban is a controversial figure, resented by some for the dominating machine politics he has brought to the south west, but adored by others, especially in Lagos, who see his hand behind the remarkable renaissance of the city in the past 15 years.

Once a byword for urban decay, Lagos has begun to thrive under Babatunde Fashola, who Mr Tinubu promoted as his successor as governor, and then sometimes shielded from the rough and tumble of politics as he went about reviving the city with technocratic verve.

Mr Tinubu attributes the success of the campaign, the most disciplined by an opposition group in Nigeria’s history and sophisticated in terms of the data monitoring it used to keep on top of events, to compromise.

“Our defined objective is on the plank of a progressive social welfare programme. Once we agreed to that then we consolidated the merger,” he says, of last year’s deal, which superseded a less formal alliance that came unstuck in 2011 polls.

Against expectations the party survived a tough contest for the leadership, which saw Mr Tinubu’s candidate, a Christian pastor and Lagos lawyer, Yemi Osinbajo, win the vice-presidential slot. The future of the union could now determine how effective Nigeria’s incoming government is in office.

Some leading members of the victorious opposition worry about the compatibility of Mr Tinubu and Gen Buhari and about the influence the former might wield, without any formal position in the party, in the forthcoming battle over federal government appointments.


In the immediate future, Mr Tinubu is likely to be distracted by his battle to maintain influence in Lagos, where his preferred candidate for governor is facing a tough challenge in the polls on April 11. “There is no need for a power struggle. We are concentrating our efforts in reversing the decay,” Mr Tinubu says.


He is not a politician who is insecure. According to both detractors and fans, one of his attributes, rare among older politicians in Nigeria, has been to spot talent and nurture it. He absorbed this lesson according to one ally, when working at ExxonMobil.

“We bring talent to governance. We don’t want Lilliputians. We want people who can think and act,” he said. Among the bright, young crowd in his small, home office in attendance, were perhaps some of Nigeria’s future leaders.

hmnnn jargaban bourdillon dare tinubu and face the conequence and to all my igbo brothers let this man come to east and deliver a week lecture on politics and ur struggle to reach the peak postion will not be a dream but a reality.You can start ur preachingof hatred on him or yorubas but sooner or later you will need us or the hausas to become nigerian president.If you don't believe u can fall back on the result for this year election and see that you need another major tribe to actualise that dream.


In ANONIMI voice

TINUBU KAI

LIBERATE EAST.

silverdam:
When will a politician from Igbo tribe be like this man? Igbos can never be like him, they can never be a statesman, they will continue to be a minority if they don't change and open the eyes.

We yorubas are proud of Tinubu, we are happy we have someone like him, someone who believes in his people. Tinubu is the man of the year, take it or leave it.

He's the no 1 politician in Nigeria if not Africa, even the world knows this.

What a stupid question... Where did Jonathan gets the money he used for campaign? All those Dollars he was sharing, where did he get them?

spit on you!!

Indeed he is!
He's a political master strategist.

For the op,Tinubu alone sponsors the activities of the APC.That is not true;APC has over 13 governors,many capitalist-party members and supporters who fund its activities the same way PDP has.

Of course,political influence and victory transcend Dollars and Naira.

Success has many fathers!Finally the Yoruba's now recognise that Tinubu is their leader!I remember in the recent past where they called for this same man's head because they said He insulted Yoruba Obas.In life for me,there is no clear way of doing things in life but what I know is that if you can key into a strategy relevant for a particular season,you will win for that season.If any ethnic group wants to dominate in 2019,they should open their eyes,ears and mind and come out with a strategy relevant for 2019 and they will win.
President Jonathan did not loose to any alliance but he lost because his policies were anti common man,he also sorrounded himself with very selfish people and finally because the northerners have been feeling short changed since yaradua died and wanted power back by all means.APC built their strategies around this realities and won the election

kastonkastrol:
tinubu is really a strategist who understands how Nigeria politics work. Jonathan should have never allowed him to form an alliance with the north. The northwest/southwest alliance is one that can never be beaten in Nigeria. The moment I saw odualand states being won by buhari, I knew that it was game over for jonathan.

Unfortunately, an igboman can never be president if he doesn't form an alliance with one of the majority tribes(yorubas or hausas) and that's the bitter truth. Igbos should drop their "I hate north/southwest" attitude if they really want to be relevant in Nigeria's politics

Baddest politician ever liveth

Tinubu is the god father of his governors in the southwest but as to GEJs loss, tinubu was only an errand boy sent by the 5 pillars of Nigerias politics (IBB,OBJ, TY danjuma, Abdusalli and the Oil mafia) to do the legwalk in the south west which he under delivered as GEJ had a good showing in the south west

GEJ dwindling popularity with the people made it all possible for them to strike with Buhari, whom they abandoned to labour thrice in vain, knowing that he will do a good job. At it but feared they may loose their head

Tinubu is not s strategist else he would havedelivered a. Landslide in the southwest......

Anyway as a supporter of a GEJ presidency; I look forward to a more finacially discipiined Government under GMB

Yes he is a political godfather but the question is...


To who?

The Jagaban of Africa!

By the way, Igbos can never raise a leader like Jagaban. Never! They're too greedy for that. In 2014 all 23 political parties had contestants running for Anambra gubernatorial seat. They don't step down for one another. Every rich Igbo man with a few hundred millions in his acct want to become governor in his state.

Recently, 10 contestants stepped down for Ambode in Lagos.
