Talk about one political leader in Nigeria who has huge followership, it would be impossible to ignore the name Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Talk of one grassroots leader who has produced very vibrant players on the political scene over the last 20 years or so and Tinubu’s name will again pop up.

However it's also impossible to mention his name without making reference to certain individuals who have over the decades made themselves life long allies and acquaintance of BAT.

Prominent among them is Cardinal Odunmbaku who is popularly known as Baba Eto.

A good and loyal ally to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one of those who can be trusted any time, any where to do the bidding of Tinubu. In a society where political betrayal is fast becoming a norm, Baba Eto has not only honored his calling as a man of God but also as a dependable ally.

Most importantly, Cardinal Odunmbaku enjoys an extremely cordial relationship with the national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Jargaban of Borgu, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The robust relationship of Cardinal Odunmbaku with the former governor of Lagos State has clearly helped in promoting and projecting Baba Eto to a place of prominence in Lagos politics.

As a matter of fact, the relationship between Cardinal Odunmbaku and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been confirmed to have pre-dated the emergence of the latter as Lagos State governor in 1999. In the run-up to the election, Odunmbaku was appointed the state chairman of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation (BATCO) which has metamorphosed into what is today known as the “The Mandate Group.” Interestingly, Baba Eto still remains the chairman of the  group till today.

He has been actively involved in the mobilization of support groups for BAT, it would be recalled that he was a major driving force used by President Muhammadu Buhari when he was looking for the political support of the Jagaban of Borgu which would eventually led to the birth of the APC

Jagaban himself would go on to describe him as a true and loyal friend who has defined his name as true progressive and who has cemented his place in the pages of history as a good elder stateman

More like they don’t forget baba eto.. he needs attention
