if really we want our so called emerging democracy to be of global and international standard, it is definitely essential to clip off the feathers of people like tinubu, kwankwaso, atiku etc. who still act as political godfathers.


indeed the role played by tinubu, both in forming APC and the eventual victory of president Muhammadu buhari in 2015 cannot and should not be over emphasised but it is high time we shunned the politics of nepotism, favouritism and sentiments.


you cannot be too powerful forever, opportunity should be given to other power brokers.

2019 is going to be interesting

devilson:
abokki am not a fan of buhari nor jagaban but I tell u bubu Is fast losing it.tinubu still got lagos,osun nd oyo nd if fayose wins ekiti election under the new platform he his talkin about (likely ad) then it won't take long to get back ogun nd ondo nd apc would be at lost

Opakan2:
Yaradua's death really got us into a serious mess in this country.. starting from the phD holder in lootocracy from otueke

I really am surprised Igbos are changing gear all of a sudden to embrace Northern illiterates as they enjoy calling them.. it's really pitiable

OZAOEKPE:

Must you blame jonathan for TINUBUZ wahala

babyfaceafrica:
Those advising Buhari are on a long tin...this guys are very light substitutes to Tinubu. fayemi ,shittu fashola...people who can't win a local goverment in their respective state..fayemi 16-0 never do you...for an incubent governor that is pathetic....even Oke that went to anew party won his local goverment!!!!...by 2019 una eyes go clear

ODVanguard:


Either you are a poor student of history or your blind hatred for Tinubu has got you all messed up. By 2003 OBJ/PDP had Tinubu encircled as the lone AD governor in the region, yet he was able to deploy uncommon sagacity and strategy in recovering each of those SW states (including Ondo after he went out of his way to assist Mimiko in recovering his mandate).

This same enigma again showed the stuff he is made of when he singlehandedly influenced Buhari's emergence as the APC flagbearer at the presidential primaries. I can understand that such dexterity and game-changing leadership acumen and pedigree has never been experienced in the part of the country you come from, therefore your fatalistic and fantastic projections concerning his political future can be understood and excused.

It's not the first time he's been written off. Your likes said the same and even worse about him after Fayemi (his preferred candidate) lost to Fayose, only for him to shock you all with his biggest victory yet -- the dethronement of a sitting incumbent for the first time in the history of Nigeria's Democratic experiment.

So you see, your likes will come and go, while the institution that is Ashiwaju will remain. That his name is still generating and commanding this much attention even without holding any public office is a clear enough testament to this truism and fact.

You are very smart, but keep it on the low they wont see BAT coming, when he started with PDP at the house of rep everyone including pastor Tunde Bakare called him a bastard.
The beneficiaries of the games he played then are the ones trying to out play him now because they felt they are connected to Abuja Ko ye won ni, wipe laiku egiri a o gbodo f'awo e se gbedu.

devilson:
haha Same fayemi that fayose won is his own local government in 2018.
I wonder who is advising buhari.
How would fashola deliver lagos nd shittu deliver oyo state to him.

I laugh in swashi.

but tinubu deserve all he his getting though

The most ridiculous write up by sun newspaper,because if I may ask how many local government can bayo shittu win in OYO state.

seunmsg:
Okay, Fashola will deliver Lagos, Fayemi will deliver Ekiti and Shittu will deliver Oyo. . Someone is really deceiving the president.

No one said he was, but no dispute on his rare heroism and macchaivelian achievements.

OBAGADAFFI:


cult of personality is the main problem of Yoruba Nation and that's why we have always been disappointed.

We had Awo, Jakande, MKO and now Tinubu.

All of them got their personal agendas and that's why they ended up being betrayed.

We must stop following the likes of Tinubu and co, they got no plans for the SW.

LordAdam:


Tinubu has never fought a retired Fulani general who was once an head of state.

That's the difference between OBJ, GEJ, and Buhari.

Whatever room OBJ and GEJ gave Tinubu, Buhari will NEVER give Tinubu.

In fact ask yourself, since 1999 till date, has Tinubu ever gone on self-exile for anyone?

But he is currently doing so under Buhari!

Awolowo and Abiola fell to Northern interests. There is nothing about Tinubu that says he would not fall.

Buhari already has all he needs to win in 2019.

The only thing going for Tinubu is that he is not directly contesting for any position, so he can even wait until 2023 to do his thing and play another 2015 with enemies of his enemy. But as for 2019, APC, and Buhari, Tinubu should forget it.
