Tinubu is a boy where Obasanjo is. Even Tinubu will not be proud to compare himself with Obasanjo. Baba knows how to lead and control the whites. In fact, he was but I can't say if he is still the Chairman of all past president in the whole world. Tinubu is best a senator and former Governor. Tinubu is a player but Obasanjo is an influencer. Obasanjo is down to earth, a choleric leader and command respects of other leaders. Obasanjo influence leaders Tinubu influence followers

Funny argument. Tinibu have been in politics for over 30yrs. Very soon some people will say GEJ knows politics more than jagaban. Is not easy to control a whole region were obj came from. All tinubu men are ruling the southwest.. Because he is not a formal president does not mean he dont know politics. He single handedly built AC from scratch before collable with buhari. Obj is just using the influence of formal president to be influencial.he is not a politician.

In Nigeria of today, between Tinubu and Obasanjo, who is more powerful and influential?

Just a sincere overview, not based on very recent political activities. alot of argument are much in my neighbourhood, i still support obasanjo cos' upon his age, he is still much influential and powerful. i need more of your response in the house.
Comparing obj to tinubu is like comparing death with sleep...just so u knw tinubu influence na lagos. Obj has influence throughout Africa and in some countries outside d continent. If u wan b president u go still come Abeokuta to see baba!

That means you didn't comprehend the question. Who is more powerful and influential?
Tinubu's greatest desire is to be a president.

OBJ was a head of state and a two-term president, he also served as chairman of ALL PAST WORLD PRESIDENTS....
He has influence in African Union and ECOWAS. During Boko Haram early beginning, he alone visited the relative of the leader of BH. OBJ is has influence across vertically and horizontally. Outside politics, Tinubu has no influence.

Nationally and Internationally, OBJ supercede Tinubu.

Let Tinubu dare criticise Buhari they way OBJ does, and see what will happen to him.

I am not a fan or follower of the two men sha

Re: Obasanjo Vs Tinubu: Who Is More Powerful And Influential? by bolaji777: 9:57pm On Oct 11, 2018
politics is highly local. you can't match the two key word together "powerful and influential" yes! Tinubu today is political influential in this Nigeria today. while OBJ is powerful within the PDP platform only. Today if you wanna aspire for presidential post today under PDP, you will need the support and locate baba Segun. Because in 2011 PDP went to tinubu then to purchased the vote of Lagos state, this make PDP won the election then.

Much has been made of the fact that Obj cannot even deliver his ward. How is this even an argument?

Obasanjo enjoys some measure of international respect, agreed. That however doesn't translate to the needed votes. Obj will only be useful AFTER you have won elections and need to enter into international treaties or negotiations.

Let's not confuse the matter


Then by your argument and logic, Tinubu is more influential and powerful than dangote. After all, how many votes can dangote pull?

Wike and Kwankwanso are also both much more influential and powerful than Dangote......

Don't say what you don't know. Was he the only former president? You say Tinubu has been in politics for over 30 years, where was he when Obasanjo was the head of state of Nigeria.

Fact is, Obasanjo is like a father to Tinubu....they are not on same pedestal.

Can't compare Pele to Ronaldino

Those are the most confused and shameless entity on the face of planet earth. See them celebrating the same Atiku who is an embodiment of all they claim to hate. A Fulani Muslim and an hersdsman. The same Fulani Muslim they god Nnamdi Kanu ordered them to kill at sight. All of a sudden they love Nigeria. If Atiku loses 2019 election, watch them gloat and scream biafra or death all over again. Their hate for PMB stems out of his defeat of their Ijaw master GEJ, not out of love for Nigeria who they still call a zoo.

How can you compare obj with tinubu?

Tinubu has everything. OBJ couldn't have made anyone to win an election without rigging. He's out of office now, I can't remember anyone he's been able to give power in any state. Tinubu might not be an ex-president, but he's more relevant than OBJ.

osun state last governorship election has shown tinubu red card that he is not welcome again.even in ijesha zone where the current governor, aregbesola came from, pdp won 4 local government out of6 local government in that axis. tinubu only has his power in lagos state cos' of structures he built.
Osun people voted PDP because of the influence of the Adeleke family name. Osun People always appreciate their philanthropic gestures. If Adeleke had been the flag bear for the APC in the election, the results would have been like 90% for APC. Even the Adelekes were APC until the death of senator Adeleke that led to the defection of the dancing senator to PDP and his subsequent victory in the bye election bye that produced the dancing senator.

Comparing Tinubu with Obasanjo is like comparing 3SC of Ibadan to Barcelona of Spain.

Obasanjo is a global brand. Former Military Head of States and 2-term Civilian President of Federal Republic.

Comparing OBJ with Jagaban is a big time LUBBISH
