Alhaji Ahmed Tinubu, you may not be perfect but you have shown example of how to be a servant-leader and relegating personal interest to satisfy national interest. God bless You Sir...


Long Live The Jagaban

and where is the result? Just tell me what he has done? U joke!

I have a very good respect for tinubu. This writeup is a masterpiece. My only reservation for him is his religious insensitivity in allowing Muslims taking major position in his party while marginalising other religions. This move alone make apc appear as people tag it. Imagine majority of top shot in Lagos state civil service are moslems. Why are the other religion marginalized. Anyway I wish him well in his next endeavor

Comments like this make me shakes my head...........

Simple political aritheimetic you can't sole

Tinubu wanted Osinbajo in, but he knew Oshomole and particularly Amechi will fight against that so what did he do' the crooked fox also came out to say he is interested.........is that not super strange as it is ahainst the. Fundamental winning political configuration Christian-Christian or Muslim-muslim remains a No-no.......

He only claimed intest in the VP so that he could nuetralise Amechi and the consusus will be that let him Tinubu and anechi back out for a nuetral person, that was how the Frof, tinubu's initial man came back


And you are here praising the king Looter of lagos to the skies

Let's look beyond religion, and vote the "rescue team". Please vote change, it's hightime we stopped selfish politicians from religion blackmail.

Smakabi1:

I feel so sorry for you sir....
Buhari is just using you......
If the most calm president we ever had can displace almighty OBJ & Silence him,
Then you can be sure Buhari will PARALIZE you!
I pray your eyes opens before its too late. Amin!

APContherun:
Yes Tinubu many Christians and Muslims are poor and we know you are a multi billionaire. How many of Jose poor people have you helped take out of poverty?
How can one reconcile your stupendous wealth with the abject poverty around you?

agabusta:


A large chunk of indigenous Lagos peeps are moslems. So also is the case in Oyo and Osun. And if you check, you'll see that their civil service will reflect this as well.

highmood:
let me help that person you threw the question to. I made this comment on a headline. they say a man who do not know where the rain started beating on him will never know where it stops. If you believe GEJ is clueless then what would you say of president obasanjo and some northerners who failed to address poverty and lack of education in thier region? OBJ used EFCC effectively and brought GSM. Haha.
Let us not be clouded by sentiments. OBJ had the power, I mean the unquestionable power to have fixed our refineries and power sector but failed, it takes a man without a military uniform to unbundle the monopoly of PHCN thereby giving power to people like you to sue the Distribution companies for epileptic supplies, yet you are not using it. But complain everyday. I mean what stops Landlords in streets, companies, markets unions from forming a strong unions to kick against some of the activities of these companies? It takes GEJ to pass the FOI bill so you can ask questions, talk and criticize the way you want. But are you asking your counselors and LG chairman and even governors questions too? It takes GEJ to release the allocation owed to Lagos by OBJ and is still complimenting it by still constructing and repairing the oshodi-Apapa and Third mainland bridge respectively as well as other roads in the south west and the country at large. It takes GEJ to remodel the MMA which is in Lagos and other airports that are not in his state of origin to a better look except you never visited it before he came to power. It takes GEJ to reactivate the railway starting from an opposition states like Lagos and Port Harcourt while also doing for others. It takes him to appoint an intelligent south westerner to man the agricultural sector, which have really improved greatly from the past. Dams are built, our universities and other institutions have received more fund from GEJ than the previous administrations if you do not know go and find out. Sure-P, You-win and some graduates internship programs have been set up to help youths and never forget that it was GEJ that increased the salary of corp members from #5k or #9k to #19800k. On the economy, the minister of finance wanted them to save through the excess crude fund, but many rep members and governors kicked against it, and now blaming GEJ. Mind you the economic meltdown is not affecting Nigeria alone, the middle east, some European countries and African countries are also feeling the pain. Italy is implementing the austerity measures too. On corruption, yes, he is not doing well but what is the house of reps members who receives fat emoluments done to help us and the government fight corruption. Are APC members not there too? Finally in crisis, we southeast, south south and southwest people bash ourselves on this platform. The southeasterners gives useful information to security agents in thier regions to help reduce the menace of kidnapping, the south southerners speaks to thier children to lay down thier arms, the southwesters kick against injustice but the northerners, who are been affected directly by terrorism have not told us how they want to quell the situation or how they want to help the government to solve the insurgency in thier region. Yet they believe power is thier exclusive right and until they come on board the problem should continue. Only immediately ihejirka left office, they wanted to crucify him in ICC and we all know what damage the sect did to lives and properties in that region after then. Even extending the emergency rule was a problem and it was during the period that the kano mosque and other places was bombed. GEJ is not perfect. But I believe, laying a new foundation for a new building is the most difficult part of any building. We are watching. He that doesn't know where the rain starts, will not know where it stops. I hope GEJ victory at the poll come next year will not cause many to commit suicide

I am competing with you, thought you knew
What is the score now

APContherun:

Jonathan doesn't feed on one billion naira a year the presidency does. If you know the scope and reach of the presidency then you know what we are talking about. Since you want to play smart by shielding Tinubu may I ask again how many of those poor Christians and Muslims did he take out of poverty in his eight years as governor of Nigeria's richest state? How many of those poor has he use his overbearing influence on Fashola to make live better lives?

tete7000:
This press release by Tinubu while it portrays Tinubu as a broad-minded politician portrays Buhari as a narrow-minded, a typical type of Nigerian politician.
1. While I am not an advocate of a Muuslim-Muslim ticket and will never be, let's now say we want a Muslim- Muslim ticket, on what basis did Buhari chose Tinubu? Is it because Tinubu is that 'not corrupt politician' or is it because Buhari felt obliged to reward Tinubu for the role he played in ensuring he emerged as APC candidate or rather is it because the almighty non-corrupt Buhari felt cowed by Tinubu. As far as I can feel from general pulse, Tinubu is corrupt and many will not want him as their vice-president. If Buhari has made this blunder of picking a Tinubu with all question marks surrounding him, can we trust him to be detached from emotion in selecting people who will work with him should he emerge our president? Are we not likely going to have Atiku and his likes occupying strategic position in his cabinet as a reward for their work in ensuring he emerged the President?
2. In a country like ours, religion is a sensitive issue. Because of the sensitivity, it beholds on any leader to seek to balance things. All fears should be assuage as far as the leader can. There are enough credible Christian Buhari can pick from, in the interest of peace and that of seeking balance. He should never have contemplated Tinubu. Doing so shows how insensitive he can be when he becomes Nigeria leader.
Many people speak highly of him but this choice of his make me doubt his credibility. My Scripture says 'He who can't be trusted in little things can't be trusted with big things'. We derive credibility from little things like these.

My thoughts... Reactions are welcome
