Early life and education
Tinubu is generally accepted in reliable sources to have been born in Nigeria in 1952;[1] this year of birth is sometimes disputed by political opponents, who argue that he is much older. Some reliable sources note that his age has not been verfied.[2][3] He completed undergraduate studies in the United States, first at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago and then at Chicago State University. He graduated in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting.[4]

Early career
Tinubu worked for the American companies Arthur Andersen, Deloitte and GTE Services Corporation.[5] After returning to Nigeria in 1983, he joined Mobil Oil Nigeria, and later became a company executive.[6]

Early political career
Tinubu's political career began in 1991,[7] when he joined the Social Democratic Party. In 1992, he was elected to the Senate, representing the Lagos West constituency in the short-lived Nigerian Third Republic.[8]

After the results of the 12 June 1993 presidential elections were annulled, Tinubu became a founding member of the pro-democracy National Democratic Coalition, a group which mobilized support for the restoration of democracy and recognition of Moshood Abiola as winner of the 12 June election. Following the seizure of power as military head of state of General Sani Abacha, he went into exile in 1994 and returned to the country in 1998 after the death of the military dictator, which ushered in the transition to the Fourth Nigerian Republic.[9]

In the run-up to the 1999 elections, Bola Tinubu was a protégé of Alliance for Democracy (AD) leaders Abraham Adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo.[10] He went on to win the AD primaries for the Lagos State governorship elections in defeating Funsho Williams and Wahab Dosunmu, a former Minister of Works and Housing.[11] In January 1999, he stood for the position of Governor of Lagos State on the AD ticket and was elected governor.[12]
