The South-West geopolitical zone of the country is a complex study in political science of Nigeria, simply for its sobriquet of being the most politically savvy among the six geo-political zones

The Tinubu factor

Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State, is a political phenomenon, at least in the minds of some progressive elements. From the trenches, as a frontline activist against military dictatorships in the 1980s, to a progressive senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1991 to 1993, Tinubu parades a reputation as one of the nation’s most dogged and rugged politicians.

As governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007, he became a one-man political army against the President Olusegun Obasanjoled Peoples Democratic Party, PDP- led government, and he won plaudits across board as the sole champion of fiscal federalism or fiscal democracy.

To strengthen his fiscal-federalist case, the chequered politician, wrote series of articles in newspapers, delivered lectures and shouted on every roof top across the country and abroad to warn of a looming danger to democracy, posed by the presidency of Chief Obasanjo.

To effect control of Lagos, Tinubu embraced guerrilla politicking and adopted a very organic approach to governance, reaching out from the most disadvantaged of the Lagos society to the middle class and the super affluent of Lagos metropolis. He held political meetings in the suburbs with urchins in the nights and in the mornings he would be at round tables with boardroom gurus and eminent politicians in the state.

Despite the political tsunami that swept the South West in 2003, Tinubu held tenaciously to Lagos State, and fought off his political enemies who were baying for his jugular.

He would, in the twilight of his tenure in Lagos, also joined formidable bandwagon against Obasanjo’s plot to succeed himself beyond constitutional limits.

The most striking legacy Tinubu would always be given credit for, is his choice of Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola the incumbent governor of Lagos, as his successor.

While the search for a successor was on, Tinubu in 2007, was working his hands to bone, to reclaim the South-West from the PDP. He did, through the courts, and through elections.
