Why do you people see the truth and fail to acknowledge once anything related to Yoruba is involved? tinubu is not powerful? Only tribalists and those whose ability to admit the truth has been destroyed by hate will make the statement you make above because the facts are:

The PDP was a very powerful political Party that was going nowhere for the next 60 years because small parties could simply not trouble it.

Tinubu conceived the idea of the merger of political Parties as the only way to take on and defeat the PDP. He ensured it came to pass despite attempt, internal and external, to scuttle the formation of the APC.

Tinubu shielded koboless Buhari, providing the clout and finance, to ensure Buhari became APC candidate with events culminating in a primaries where Buhari got almost 100% of SW delegate votes, courtesy of Tinubu, which was even far more than he got from the North.

Tinubu, with governors he had helped to install in power, delivered 4 out of 6 SW States for Buhari in 2015 when our President did not win a single SW State in 2011 !!!

Buhari became President alongside the VP Tinubu chose to run with him. Today it is Tinubu's boys and girl , that he empowered directly and indirectly, controlling the most critical and important Ministerial portfolio in Nigeria today. There is so much in between the abridged history I have supplied above yet it is crystal clear the man is arguably the most powerful politician in Nigeria if we even discount everything else and only take his feat of leading the sustained and very painful charge to depose the PDP that boasted under Ogbulafor it would remain in power for 60 years. We know some, like you, will never have the clarity of vision and honesty to admit it. Even when you do not like someone, you do not pretend to miss what they have achieved unless a prejudiced, generally hateful or petty person.

Tinubu does not have control over 97% of Nigerian masses like the anology you painted.Tinubu's influence only ends in some parts of the SW which is less than 20% of Nigeria

Ogbeni you are really dull if this is all you could understand from that analogy

You don't know Chukwudi. Facts matter zilch in his world of sentiments. Even in a Yoruba was President Chukwudi would argue he is not a real Preisdent. He is merely a local government chairman controlled by the North.

I can see so many of Tinubu puppets av quoted me. i wil rather answer u collectively. some of u APC guys are so blindfolded wit ur so called legends. how can u guys conclude dat someone who has (not total) control of just four states in nigeria namely Lagos Oyo Osun and Ogun be the most powerful man in nigeria of 36 states. where wil u put people like Obj who has installed so many governors in nigeria and powerful politicians like Atiku. d problem wit u APC supporters is dat u are all one way traffic. IRANU OSHI

OBJ loose election in his ward at ogun state. Tinubu floor Atiku at presidential primary that produce buhari. With all his money

If tinubu is not the greatest politician then then who's is that man let him talk now or forever remain silence
Re: Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria's Most Powerful Politician - Onyebuchi Ememanka by DonProphet: 5:09pm On Nov 20, 2015
The writer is not talking about whether TINUBU is corrupt or not. He is talking about the political strength of the man. The issue of whether he is corrupt or not should be left for another day. Some are commenting that he is patron of drug barons. There is no established case against him on that, so it is just the position of weakness that some are taking. Even if he is, barons in drugs, arms and oil rule anywhere in the world. Example is Bush family in America. JAGABAN is the mastermind of the present Nigerian politics. He is the single architect of the present political equation. He developed the formula single handedly. When I met this great man in UK a year before the election where he was telling his audience that he will uproot the then government of GEJ, I thought he had really taken to drugs. Let us thank the God that makes Tinubu great because He can also make us great.

MrLouisVanGaal:


Let me tell you, the north will never own Nigeria again. Not with zoning and federal character now a prominent part of the way Nigeria is being governed. Buhari will handover to someone from another tribe. A westerner most likely. Stop seeing the north as owners of Nigeria alone, they have been in collusion with the west to own Nigeria since 1999. Jonathan was a blip, a mistake in their grand plan. By 2019, power will return to the west and we will all vote enmasse because the person brought forward would be so appealing towards but doing the work of his partners in pocketing Nigeria. That is the north
Dreamers, is that why you voted him?

You have lost touch with the Op's argument, he argued that no governor from 1999-2007 is as influential as tinubu is presently. It shows how high tinubu is for u to have compared him with obj. Ask governors under PDP how they fared during obj's rule talkless of opposition governor. Take it or leave it, tinubu doesn't lose anything he holds on to, tinubu will still determine who becomes this country's next president from this year onward. He is an icon that rep South West, never a president, yet he's loved by his people even more than how Jonathan is loved by his people if at all they still love him.

MrLouisVanGaal:


The North are nothing without their leaders.. The power of incumbency the north enjoys now is enough for the APC to keep putting who they want with the promise of a rotational policy. When their leaders convince them of this which they always do, they, their cows and rams will vote for a south western muslim over a northerner from a party who once allowed a southerner rule for 6 years. PDP is learning when it comes to spinning propaganda to win elections. As for the SE we know what they always do... vote for a party with an eastern vice presidential candidate and in this dispensation, even PDP can't dare pair a a radical Muslim northern with a radical Christian east... recipe for destruction.

so after the south has done 14 out of the last 16 years of democracy, you expect the north to do only 8 years and hand over because they are stupid or what? obviously you were not in the north after the elections. so I will help you out. POWER ROTATION IS DEAD. THE NORTH MUST DO 16 YEARS BEFORE ANY TALK OF HANDING OVER. IF THEY MUST HANDOVER IT WILL BE FROM THE MIDDLEBELT NOT THE SOUTH. now stop dreaming and wake up to reality.
