Sweetlemon:

That is one of the main things that leaves me intrigued. The way he handled the whole situation is just ......
You just gotta respect him for that because while other govs would have been busy playing the blame game, he took responsibility and proved that he could work under severe pressure.
Like I said. I'm not his loyalist. I don't love him like that. But I just gotta respect him!

jmoore:

are you tinubu's slave? Yes, he is still kicking and the only thing he is kicking is your @ss. Endure the pain while he is still alive

ewet:
and whts GEJ doin to yours,he 4got the shoe he was supposed to hav worn to sch in yours and you keep reveling in his dysfunctional transformation and breath of foul air.When he is done you will realise you and your children will be the ones with no shoes.bloody slowpoke.

Sincere 9gerian: Tinubu appears "powerful" only in certain people's imagination. He's only enjoying the status of being the ONLY former governor in ACN at the moment. When more former governors emerge and as new generation of ACN governors emerge in ACN, Tinubu's imaginary powers will fade away.

However, one thing is not in doubt. Tinubu has used his position as the face of the opposition to build an empire of wealth for HIMSELF, perhaps in anticipation of when his political influence will wane.

OBJ lost out in his battle with Tinubu for the soul of southwest because OBJ was too silly that he NEVER reckoned with PERFORMANCE as a parameter for choosing his foot solders and putting people in positions of authority. While OBJ was using federal might to put people in positions of authority, the only parameter that was on his mind was loyalty. On the other hand, Tinubu was wise enough to consider both loyalty and PERFORMANCE. That made all the difference.

Sincere 9gerian:
Such "deal" only exist in your clueless mind.

There's NOTHING like that. GEJ won in the southwest fair and square. Otherwise, show us concrete evidence that such deal existed BEFORE votes were cast for the 2011 presidential election.

What was Tinubu supposed to do to help GEJ win going by the imaginary "deal"? Was Tinubu supposed to alter the results of votes cast? Or Mobilize his supporters to vote GEJ? If he was to mobilize people to vote for GEJ, show us how he did that before votes were cast. NONSENSE!

Sincere 9gerian:
Some of you ACN internet rats keep calling our president my pay master. I dont know how that relates to this topic except just to see if some us could be blackmailed to silence. I thought what to do to a strategy that isn't working is to DISCARD it. But the ACN internet rats have insisted on a strategy of blackmail that didn't work in 2011.

A part from the fact these blackmails tend to derail threads, they'r IMPOTENT.

Just to reiterate, if calling our president my pay master will make some persons HAPPY and keep them away from trouble or being used as instruments for suicide bombing, its all well and good.

You don't know Nigerians yet , when de can't eat from U they bail to the next source .. Tinubu's current heroism started in 1999 by becoming Governor of Nigerias most prosperous state and is still on just because he has a loyal stooge as governor in the person of Fashola .. By the time an ingrate enters Lagos govt House Tinubu will just become irrelevant like Orji UZor Kalu in Abia overnite

ewet:
In case you hav bin living under a rock or your paymasters hav gotten you chained to a laptop and a desk since you were born tht you hav not even stepped out of your cell in ages.Even Ribadu attested to this fact and its common knowledge all over the place tht Tinubu convinced his people to allow GEJ win the elections,tht was hw he was able to win the SW,you can come arund and ask any1 on the street.

pro01:

Correct. Although it is unlikely that the ACN would retain Lagos in 2015, assuming they do, I hope Tinubu would make the mistake of 'annointing' any of GOS (Ganiyu Solomon), Ikuforiji, or Gbenga Ashafa. My hunch tells me these men are ruthless and cold-blooded, and they have what it takes to pull the rug from under Tinubu's feet and send him into forced exile, unlike Fashola that prefers to vent his frustrations on the masses. I'm almost certain that someone like GOS for instance would spit in Tinubu's face less than two months after being sworn into office, and the heavens wouldn't fall..

Afam4eva:
Tinubu won't make the mistake of putting someone that will usurp him. He puts relative nonentities there with low self-esteem who will remain loyal to him for a very long time. Word even has it that he'll most likely keep it in the family in 2015.

ITbomb: Worse than the PDP godfathers, making sure only his relative gets into elective positions and hand picking a governor without regards to the votes of the people.
Is that Power?

Afam4eva:

It also baffles me that some people actually think Jonathan had a deal with Tinubu to deliver Lagos votes to him. How's that even possible? Most of my family voted for GEJ except myself. I want to know how Tinubu was able to influence my family into voting Jonathan. Except they're telling us that Tinubu rigged Lagos election for JOnathan.

naijababe:

Keep it in the family?! Y'all don't know what you are talking about. So, Fahola, Amosun et all are non-entities with low self esteem?! It is only on NL that one gets to read this sort of fookery

naijababe: @Pro01, Anoint a man like Ikuforiji? You obviously under-estimate the man a lot.

Sincere 9gerian:
Dont mind the losers. Its all propaganda to alleviate the PAINS of defeat.

Afam4eva:
You have to bee deep to understand my statement. Also notice that i used the term "Nonentity". Whatever i say here only applies to politics. Having a low self-esteem politically simply means not taking big decisions that the Godfather may not like.

dayokanu: Is it a surprise that most vociferous opponents of Tinubu on NL are Igbos

In politics they dont really matter because its the local people who vote and give Tinubu power.

Its like Syrians saying they dont like Obama as American president

alj harem:

what propaganda ? It is an open secret

Why did GEJ sen his Presidential Jet to Lagos to pick up Tinubu just before the elections ?

Not only did he sell out Lagos but also 5 other states. Go ask Gej to tell you the truth and stop all you speculations

naijababe:

More fookery! You still don't know what you are talking about.
