MizMyColi: In other words, he is their God-Father.
Cool.

barcanista: Call it "godfather" or Mentor...

A Great Leader churns out Great Leaders

20pounds: Didn't his children undergo his tutelage? How many of them are great? How many is he forcing to be great by imposing them on people against their wish?

OP, a55licking will never make you great, neither will distorting facts.

NewNigeriaMind: Tinubu is my mentor.

Great Leader.

Zakkyoz: Haters can always do what they know to do best. Hatred cannot deter BAT's success

egift: "No matter what anyone may say about me it is unlikely that I can be accused of supporting incompetent or morally light-weight individuals for important political positions. My philosophy is to put the best forward, men and women of competence and integrity, who can stand up to us politicians to challenge us and say no when necessary. Such people are not noisy or able to gain attention by being loud, I believe my role is to do all I can to project them."

EmoBoy: None of them are great. Nigerians adore mediocrity

RockMaxi: Hmm,...Thought this people had greatness as a natural potential and all what they needed was a platform to showcase them.

They will still be great with or without him.

barcanista: One thing is to have the potential, another is to translate it into performance. It takes a Brilliant leader to Identify Potentials and give them platform to perform. That is Tinubu.
While PDP had men with Potentials like:
Dr. Olusegun Agagu, Engr(Dr). Iyiola Omisore, Dr. Peter Odili among others, the "environment" in PDP suppressed them and they all transformed into mediocres. Even Musliu Obanikoro has become a laughing stock since his move to PDP. He is supposed to be the Minister of State for Defense but we see him deployed as Minister of State for Election Intimidation.
Iyiola Omisore Campaigned WITHOUT a reasonable manifesto. Agagu could not do anything when he held sway as governor and was booted out. What about Akala?
The few greats of PDP, Amaechi and Kwankwaso were forced out. In fact, Amaechi was even denied PDP Ticket in 2007 if not for the Supreme Court.

True but we should give him credit for having the foresight to give them that platform

aderonila18: That's the one thing I admire about him. He has great judgement and usually brings forward great leaders. I'll always support anyone Tinubu backs, he knows these politicians better than the average man and he always chooses performers.

desgiezd:

So Fashola is a mediocre? Aregbesola is a mediocre? Well, if all these are mediocres, I'll love to be one!

EmoBoy:
Yes. Fashola and Aregbesola are mediocre political leaders.

For the bolded: What of the drama of okada rides, pop-corn chewing and roasted corn eating during the campaign, couldn't we count these as part of his manifesto since he had none?
