What People Don’t Know About Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu by ItuExchange(m): 12:51am On Jul 25, 2016
Bola Ahmed Tinubu aka Jagaban (born 29 March 1952) was elected Senator for the Lagos West constituency in Lagos State, Nigeria in 1993, just before a military take-over in December 1993. After the return to democracy, he was elected governor of Lagos State, holding office from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007. He is an influential member of the All Progressives Congress party; he also holds both the chieftaincy of the Asiwaju of Lagos and that of the Jagaban of the Borgu Kingdom in the Northern Niger State of Nigeria. He is the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) party with president Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

What People Need to Know About Tinubu
Tinubu is the backbone of APC, believe it or not. I can say that Providence used him to toppled PDP, which drove the nation in into the current quagmire. Without him, I don’t think it would’ve been possible for any opposition to topple the all-powerful PDP.

He’s a generous man; and there are people who love him in spite of criticisms levelled against him. I think his existent is a blessing to APC, Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.

PDP is now in splinters because they don’t have a backbone. They got no-one that can finance then relentlessly, who’s charismatic enough to win the love, obedience and admiration of other members.

Now a word to those who talk ill of Asiwaju Tinubu. Please know that I’m not a politician and I’m neutral in all things. I’m only speaking my mind. How many of you are living a blameless life?

It reminds me of one Okada rider who was very good at dodging the payment of ticket monies. He knew how to elude those who collected ticket monies, and he often battled them, criticizing them harshly. He passionately disliked the idea of paying ticket monies and people knew this.

However, when he became a secretary of the Union, he’s the fiercest and the most merciless collector of ticket money. He devised a way of preventing other Okada riders from eluding payment for ticket monies. He even collects ticket monies from those who come out after 6.00 P.M. People remind him of when he was an ordinary Okada man, running away tickets, but he ignored them.

This is a great real life lesson. I laugh when I see someone who’s wicked in his own ways, criticizing the government. Most of you who blame Tinubu and other Nigerian leaders are found wanting when closely examined, especially the way you deal with your fellow human beings. You’ve forgotten that those you criticize are human beings like you. Those critics would do worse than them when in power.

Long life Chief Tinubu.

What else do they need to know apart from the fact that:

a) He's one of the politicians who have never decamped before,
b) He withstood OBJ's federal bullying for eight years,
c) He's the father of modern Lagos,
d) He's a master scouter, Fasola, Ambode, Fowler, Ben Akabueze, Banire, Dabiri are results of his political shrewdness,
e) He's, if not almost, the biggest 'shareholder' in APC and most importantly,


F)HE is INSTRUMENTAL to the SENDING of GEJ back to OTUOKE grin grin grin

A pastor chained a nine year old boy in a church.

I am a Muslim and I know his action does not represent Christianity. It's against d teachings of Christianity.

So I will rather attack the character of the pastor alone not Christianity.

This is d injustice people do to Islam, a Muslim will do something devilish and the religion of islam will be attacked.

Blame only the action of the Muslim (in person) not Islam, he represents himself not Islam.

We Muslims are not perfect but Islam is perfect. I call upon the media to redefine the concept of terrorism and remove the word Islamic from anything that has to do with terrorism.

Yall had better respect him, He's actually the smartest politician Nigeria has ever known. He operates smoothly underground also behind the scene and people like him are the world controllers. People such are Rothschilds, Rockerfellas, The Bush Clan, catholic Pope etc.
