Without any argument, Tinubu is the greatest political strategist of the past 3 decades....

Fought Abacha........

Fought Obj,It is on record that Obj used his trick to captured some state in southwest that belong to AD even thou Tinubu warned the likes of (Lam Adeshina(Oyo state),Adefariti (ondo state),Oshoba (Ogun state),Bisi Akande (osun state) nd omo Adebayo (Ekiti state) but dnt listen to Tinubu until they see themselves unclad (OBJ won all the states for PDP) except Lagos state).

What happened after some years, Tinubu proved his class by recapture south-west via ACN......Obj greatest nightmare..


fought GEJ (present decade).He can never forget the living Legend despite given out millions of Naira to some Paramount rulers in Yoruba land,jagaban set the machinery in motion nd won it for APC.

Jagaban is not only smart nd intelligent but he is a worthy mentor,Legend, Icon nd political genius.

they fail to understandthat their gullibility made tinubu who he is...and then they come back online to praise him...meanwhile the tinubu would be laughing them for their gullibility...


Shame on us nigerian youths...I only envy leaders who are ready to die for the masses...others can go to hell for all I care... angry

Die for the masses?, thank you. Tinubu is not God so he can't know tomorrow that is my respect for him. He stand up to IBB and Abacha of which many lost their lives.

Is not, then is you.
Please tell me any ibo man compared to Tinubu today.

1) Against IBB on June 12.
2) Against Abacha NADECO.
3) Against OBJ,
4) Against Jonathan.
5) Buhari try 4 times unsuccessfully until Tinubu.
6) Controlling Lagos for 17 years with 30% Nigeria economy.
7) Single handedly form a political party.
cool Removing a ruling president.
9) Removing a ruling party PDP.
10) Installed two governor in Lagos.
11) The only relevant past Governor in 1999/2007, 16 years ago.


12) The only relevant politicians from 92 as a senator till date 2016 that's 25 year's. Minus 25 years from Dino age, where is Dino then.

Nobody is perfect, Tinubu you have made your Mark you are human too.

I don't worship politicians, so keep your tribal rants in your cupboard.


He's only 'powerful' because of the high number of gullible supporters he got.

Sincerely the man is a political mathematician who knows how to identify good technocrats & turned them to his political disciples . He has eagle eyes for identification of people that are brain & brawn . Honestly I like the man for his visionary leadership. He has his roadmap to 2019 and beyond already, forget all these bunch of shallow thinking noise making senators . To fight Jagaban,your brain must be very superlative in every sense & you must be a big time political investor. He can spend his hard earned money on a worthy venture.. He is a leader with a medal torch & with all respect he is an incurable optimist, a dogged fighter & a consistent progressivist .

I understand he was once a Senator of the FRN and a former Governor of Lagos State. However, he isn't the only one to have occupied such positions.

Jonathan was a Governor and also a president. Yet, i don't think that he is as powerful as Tinubu. Since Johnathan left office, he rarely makes the news headline.

Ahmed Tinubu controls today's senate despite not holding any political office. This is evident by the way he unsettles the Senate President and his Vice(na Melaye say na him dey on top of their matter o).

Anyone knows the reason behind Tinubu's power?

Infact, no politician since the inception of the fourth Republic equals tinubu in political astuteness, from being a single opposition governor to becoming relevant in a geo political zone and going federal, no one, i mean no one playing opposition politics in Nigeria since 1999 has achieved that, hence, tinubu would never be forgotten in the history of opposition politics and would influence Nigeria political landscape For a long time. The likes of Dino need respect him because tinubu always outshine everybody in politics with his calculations, infact, tinubu's relevance would still outshine buhari in some years to come. Tinubu's relevance in politics is top notch, despite we all know he's corrupt, they couldn't nail him with all the federal might, even GEJ sought his good face! Abeg, he's too influential among his people and one dare not look him in the eyes if he's to live long politically, just like Obasanjo.

He's a smart man and he's been in the game for long.
To me, the smartest move he made was not to contest for any major Position in recent years rather he operates from beneath the Spotlight to put who ever he wants on Page hence making him more relevant than his Peers. He's like a Political Coach...


Though I think he's a corrupt man but to be sincere, he's too smart to be caught. I respect his astuteness.
you are wrong, he actually tried to be vice president to buhari, thats why he is less powerful now, if he didn't do that his influence in the party would have being greater.

I don't think he is powerful is just that Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani tend to be very demure and respectful to someone in their societies who has risen above board notwithstanding if he or she is right or wrong...they will be loyal to that person. The cultural reverence that come with the throne of Obas, Onis and Emirs also makes it easier for them to control the people. With Igbos...it's impossible as they are not used to having powerful people! Igbo society is naturally and culturally an egalitarian society....everyone is equal! Have you heard of a powerful Igbo man before? Lol. The only way you will be powerful to Igbos is if you are fighting for their freedom...as in Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu, then you are talking otherwise you are just an ordinary person no matter your wealth and political clout.

Why do you start from Abacha? Is part of the Senator's that pass vote of no confidence against IBB that force him to step aside in 1992. A member of SDP that support MKO in one of the best election in Nigeria history.

They can't forgive Tinubu for removing Jonathan forgetting he supports Jonathan 2011.

Firstly, he was the only southwest governor that survived the "umbrella revolution" of 2003. Others like Bisi Akande, Lam Adesina, Segun Osoba, couldn't secure a second term nod. So being the only AD governor then made him so popular.

Furthermore, as at the time when people think Jagaban would bow for Obasanjo's pressure, he held his ground and he was steadfast with his progressive ideology.

Not that alone, Tinubu was able to nurture and finance AD (which later turned AC and then ACN) for a one state party in 2003 to a party that controls 6 states and then forming a formidable opposition against the then ruling party in 2011.

While spreading his political tentacles, I think a major factor that has been helping him is the fact that he will never support mediocrity at the expense of merit. He has the best brains as far as politics of naija is concerned. Fashola, Fayemi, Amobode, Muiz Banire, Abiola Ajimobi, Fowler, Abike Dabiri, Femi Gbajabiamila, Aregbesola, Jide Omoworare, Ibikunle Amosun etc. The list is just endless. I think Asiwaju is not just developing himself, he is grooming other young boys. This will make him so relevant for long.

Due to the herd mentality and inability to think out of box....and coupled with stomach infrastructure in the south west .they made a single man a some determinant of their destiny

Tinubu isn't powerful in Nigeria but only in south west

That's my take

Even in south west ekiti is an exception

You're right but that's just 30% of the picture. Few years ago I used to think this way too but to sustain these political empires it goes deeper than food and token amounts. If you want to win an election, it will work but if you want to build an army of loyalists, it takes more than this. If you disagree with me, I will give you examples, mostly what I witnessed with my own eyes.

Back to the matter, i think its because he is clever. He knows when to lose so as to win. He doesnt easily give up. He didnt try to join them simply because he couldnt beat them. He is the reason why some influential governors and senators have a seat and as the saying concludes, HE DICTATES THE TUNE
