Sholaco:believe Ibos at your own Perils. When this same OBJ withdrew his support for gej; ibos said obj only had 1 vote. They said he is a liability to PDP; so many unkind things were said to this obj. Today simply because obj is supporting atiku; ibos are saying different thing entirely about him The most CONFUSED tribe in Nigeria, are d ibos. They simply don't know what they want. Today, they want Biafra; tomorrow referendum, yesterday restructuring. I just pity that poor boy, Nnamdi KANU. His kinsmen have forgotten him. For them now, it is Atikulate . If ibos are supporting you, my brother , fear o o o. They are very active Online, but when real politicking starts, they always FAIL. They are very good at name calling, 1st class in abusive comments. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Somehow difficult to extrapolate as per who is more influential between these great men. Having said that, if I'm given the task to choose just one between them, then my decision would be based on what I really want and need from the chosen one. For instance, assuming I want an international PR no doubt I'd prefer to pitch my tents with OBJ(case study Atiku Abu-Bakar).Reason being,having been a president before would always give OBJ that respected international voice any day any time more than Asiwaju. However, if I decided to follow the political scientology saying that, politics is local and also a game of number, then, Asiwaju might be considered here (case study-- Muhamadu Buhari)Reason being. Asiwaju is more plumbed with all these plebeians mostly in SW. Due to my above explanations, the yardstick to juxtapose more influential person between them, would always be on the political calculation ground. Hence, it's very vague to choose between them. But on the scale of % I would give Asiwaju 60% while OBJ 40%. Further, there was a time when Omisore appeared to be the most influential politician in just concluded Osun state gubernatorial election. This is because he was well grounded in his locality. So, if I'm at a gun-point, then, I'd give it to Asiwaju. 1 Like |

Some people are saying Tinubu is a SW politician, does OBJ even have any say in his local government let alone Ogun State? You can only say OBJ has more international recognition. Tinubu boys in this present administration is countless ranging from the VP to senators, reps,governors, Parastatals heads like the FIRS boss, he is just too connected, he is the most powerful in Nigeria right now. Tinubu has never defected but remain undefeated, that is why he is called "The last man standing", he has a perfect political record. Is there need to say that he has the media (The nations, ITR, TVC) and political machineries, he has no match. 4 Likes |

OBJ is more influential in the Global scene but Tinubu is more influential in the south west politics. where Obj will enter, Tinubu with his money won't enter. b4 2015 elections, Tinubu was just a local champion within the south west region. it was after helping Buhari Succeed that his popularity grew. The North only appreciates him for helping their son become president, but OBJ has been active right from his military regime. OBJ was one unbiased leader Nigeria ever produced. He has followers in the east, west,North and south. Nobody send Tinubu for south east and south south o! Obj will go to all regions and canvass for Vote, even without cash they will still respect him. He'll pick some from south west, some from east, north and south south. Tinubus machinery won't cover east and south south. See it this way, IF Tinubu and Obj where to contest for elections, the outcome will be : Tinubu : south west - 60% North - 30% East - 5 south - 5 OBJ south west - 40% North : 30% East : 20% south : 10 |

jaymichael: Hahaha bunch of clowns, Tinubu is all that but little Saraki taught him a lesson in National politics at the senate leadership fight?. Who knows Tinubu outside of the South West? Are we talking about Tinubu who our dancibg Senator and Davido gave a political black eye? Tinudu who with over 40k police men, and 5000 Millitary and paramillitary couldnt deliver Osun to his cousin but had to result to rewriting the constitution and change goal posts before they coukd rig out Adeleke? Tinubu is a local Champion, stop according to him what he is not, this is why when we told you all he cant remove Saraki his supporters were making empty noise about. Is not the same Tinubu the likes of Abbah kyari and co threw to the dogs after 2015? treated him like an ourcast and still ordered him back?, you dnt do such to international or national Champions like OBJ without consequencies. You only do that to local champions eho dnt have a choice but to obey. Tinubu allowed all the hailing to get to him head, but was cut down to size when he tried to install Lawan and his boy Gbajamila as Senate President and Speaker respectively. Tinubu might be a god in South west, but he is a no body nationally. in this country we have national players and local and regional champions. National players have been on the scene since 1999 till date, they have history across each zones, boys, associates and structures, a local champion only have these in his region, outside he is as lowly as a ward chairman. Atiku is a national player, headed PDM,played politics even during the millitary era when the likes of Tinubu was not even allowed to come into the compound when the likes of Pa Adeshina and Bola Ige were holding meetings. Not even Buhari can challange Baba Iyabo, if there was an out break of crisis across the country, world leaders wont call Bubari let alone Tinubu for updates, its the likes of OBJ and TyDanjuma they listen to. OBJ might not be able to install someone in the S/west, but nationally and internationally he can damage your image and destroy whatever goodwilll you have. You guys should keep decievibg your selves. 2 Likes |
