One man, Bola Escobar Tinubu has been linked to the death of three of these guber aspirants, namely, Funsho Williams, Abubakar Audu and Isiaka Adeleke... Tinubu , who has cornered Lagos state and turned it into a cash cow has slowly metamorphosed into an some sort Machiavelli who goes to any length all in a bid to achieve his political goals.. It is totally nonplussing to note that such a despicable character with so much baggage is being touted by a section of the country as the true model politician..
