"On Bourdilon Road, Ikoyi residence of the Asiwaju a series of meetings ensued that was to change the political climate of Nigeria. Another agreement was brokered with the South West forming a political alliance with Hausa-Fulani oligarchy. This brought about a merger that gave birth to the All Progressives Congress (APC). With Tinubu at the forefront, the presidential primaries took place in Lagos, Nigeria and through the agency of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Muhammadu Buhari clinched the Presidential ticket to contest the presidency again which he has previously lost in three consecutive times.
With Tinubu delivering the whole of South West votes to APC save Ekiti State, Buhari ‘won’ the 2015 presidential election and former President Jonathan early concession of defeat saved a nation and a people who were dangerously on the brink. Thus the “dogs and the baboons” – a metaphor employed by Buhari for Nigerians – were saved the dangers and agony of bloodshed.
Today Buhari is Nigeria’s ‘elected’ President; the man who sits on the throne presiding over the affairs of over 170 million Nigerians. His “success” story will not be complete without mentioning the pivotal role played by the Great Oak- the Asiwaju of the Yoruba race, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This dogged fighter on whose back the north and Buhari rode back to power deserves a pat on the back, all things considered.
Today, I often read the diatribes in all the popular dailies downplaying the efforts of a man that has sacrificed and contributed so much to Nigeria’s nascent democracy and more so on whose back the north rode back to power in Nigeria. Ay, I often sit back with mouth agape in bewilderment on hearing the strings of roughshod over a man who bankrolled the APC to the seat of power in Abuja. The question that agitates the mind of this writer is:
Does Tinubu deserve the treatment being meted out to him by the northern political gladiators?"

“Bola Tinubu, who plays ludo game in Lagos, now went to Abuja to play chess, only to be defeated and watched the inauguration of the 8th Assembly on television. That can never be a Yoruba leader”. Yinka Odumakin Secretary General, Afenifere.
