Three Controversies That Will Haunt Tinubu's Presidential Ambition by gidgiddy: 11:51pm On Dec 19, 2021
The electoral act of Nigeria says that if a prospective candidate of a political party makes any false declaration in his electoral form, his candidature can be nullified, before or after the election.

Its no secret that former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, is nursing a Presidential ambition and is expected to declare his bid for the Presidency some time next year. However, there are three controversies about Tinubu that could derail his ambition because all three will be connected to his electoral form, if he becomes the APC Presidential flag bearer. They are :

Age. Tinubu's official age is 69, he was born in 1952 and will be 70 years old next year. However, some people who know Tinubu better than most if us, claim that he is well into his 80's. Late Afenifere spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, claimed in 2019 that Tinubu was in his 80's and that his first wife died at the age of 74. Even famous veteran musician, Charlie Boy, said there was no way he could be older than Tinubu, and Charlie Boy is 71. I hope Tinubu is telling the truth about his age because once he makes his ambition public, his political enemies will put their searchlight on his age

State Of Origin. There has been this long running talk that Tinubu is not originally from Lagos, that he is from Osun State. People claim thats where he was born and raised before relocating to Lagos. Tinubu will have to fill in his State Of Origin when he fills out his electoral form and if he puts down Lagos, he better pray nobody remembers him from Osun

[Name: There is this saying 'what is in a name?'. Like most forms you fill, the first thing asked is your name, and I suspect it will be so in the electoral form. People have claimed that the name "Bola Ahmed Tinubu" is not the name Tinubu was born with. They say he had a completely different name in the first part of his life and only adopted his present name to throw people off the scent of his past, namely his real age and origins. Of course, change of name is allowed if done legally. Did Bola Ahmed Tinubu previously have another name? If so, why did he change it? And more importantly, did he change it legally to what he will put down on his electoral form? Time will tell

Expect these three controversial things about Tinubu to come up when he declares his Presidential ambition and you can bet that APC will be very hesitant to give him their Presidential ticket if they are not satisfied he is not wanting in any of the three

The two greatest threats to yinubu presidential ambition is his age. And buhari.
It will be very very easy for the opposition to use tinubu age and frail health to campaign against him ,Nigerians are tired of old sick men becoming president and messing things up.
The second threat is buhari,not that buhari will work against tinubu but the failure of buhari government and APC will most likely turn off many Nigerians from tinubu, Nigerians see the three as one (buhari,apc and tinubu) as one and since tinubu was the one instrumental in bringing in buhari ,and apc into power and their colossal failure so far, ppl may see him as a serious potential failure if elected .
If buhari and apc had performed very well then the road would have been very very easy for tinubu. Now tinubu has to convince Nigerians that with his similar age to buhari and using the same party structure and platform that buhari used and failed and with the same frail health like buhari, that he does have something to offer and that he will deliver the goods . i must confess this is a very very near impossible task

How Tinubu keep tormenting one particular foolish tribe he never stepped into is baffling.


Dead brain Yorubas especially the foolish ones supporting the pdp, exactly how Tinubu is loathed by the cursed jews today was how this miserable cursed tribe from hell hated Awolowo too back then for no reason.

Same Awolowo saved their state monthly allocation n made sure it was paid to each igbo state after tthe war so when these foolish ungrateful lunatics insult the man before you join them in castigating Awolowo imagine monthly allocation of the poorest state in Nigeria today saved for 36 months (3 years) the entire duration of the war paid to this miserable souls, till date no country in either Europe America or Asia as done such a noble thing.

This cursed souls that can not produce their passbook were given 30 pounds so long they can prove they had an account at that bank. This is not minding if they had any money in the account previously. Note those able to produce their passbook had access to the balance on the balance on their account even if it's a trillion naira.

Trust what the crook of a tribe did, every one from this miserable tribe claim they lost their passbook to access the 30 pounds even those that never had a kobo balance, just to benefit from the magnanimity of Awo.

Now any mumu Yoruba who can read this with unbiased mind n is still not weary of these jews from hellfire need his brain checked.

Re: Three Controversies That Will Haunt Tinubu's Presidential Ambition by oyatz(m): 7:37am On Dec 20, 2021
Let me address the issues you raised with seriousness;

1) Age: Tinubu's past records put his year of birth as 1952.
In his electoral form for the 1992 Senatorial election backed by a court affidavit, he said he was born in 1952.
Now, it a man backed by any of his parents or close relatives sworn to an affidavit that he was believed to be born on a particular date, it becomes a valid legal document.

It can only be considered an offence, if the affidavit didn't originate from the court but was forged or there's a valid evidence that Tinubu had already reached the age of maturity by 1952 to know that he couldn't have been born in that year.

2) State of Origin: this is highly subjective. If Someone said he was born in Lagos and believes his families have been in Lagos for 3 generations,then his State of origin is Lagos. Besides everyone is free to chose his State of origin.

State of origin is NOT a legal prequisite for ANY election. You only need to have resided in the constituency for 3 years.


3) Name: Name is for identifications. We are who we say we are, even if we change our names.

I know so many people who are bearing different names from the names they were bearing while in primary schools.


It is only an offence in case of an identity theft/impersonation.

If you like kill yourself, Yoruba man is your next president. None of the big parties will FOOLISHLY leave the fate of 200 million people in the hands of someone from a region that doesn't wish Nigerians and Nigeria well.

Almost all the tribes in Nigeria have something negative to say about ibos. All this write-ups won't help y'all. Isn't it wise to start campaigning for the next president, a Yoruba man, so that you can be in his good book? Or you want to remain 4th class citizens for life? cheesy

Tinubu did you guys strong thing or Is Tinubu omnipresent in you guys medulla oblongata ?

To the extent that a whole Ohaneze Ndigbo has to write a letter to citizen Tinubu, who is not an elected official nor has he declared his intention to contest for the highest office in Nigeria.

What kind of Inferiority Complex is this?

Why are you guys always reminding us that that Bolaji Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria?

Tinubu this

Tinubu in the morning
Tinubu in the afternoon
Tinubu in the evening
Tinubu on Twitter
Tinubu on nairaland

Wailers- Tinubu

Tinubu must be omnipresent.

The Difference between LAGOS DEMOCRACY and other 35 States since 1999 till Date is tinubu.

The Difference between SW DEMOCRACY and other Five Regions since 1999 till date is tinubu.

The Difference between Progressive Politics and Wailing Hateful Politics since 1999 till date is tinubu.......
