TINUBU SAVED YINKA ODUMAKIN's LIFE – Ayo Opadokun
Posted on March 21, 2019 by Top Celebrities Magazine 108 views

Elder statesman and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Opadokun has revealed how Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu saved Yinka Odumakin’s life…

“When I say he is an ingrate, I must substantiate it. People like me don’t just speak without facts. When he started coming to me, one day he came with his left hand very heavy. And he told me that he and his wife bought a land somewhere and they went there for inspection. It was after visiting the land that his hand started swelling up.”

“He said he had visited surgeons both in UCH and in UNILAG, but they were yet to give him a date when the hand will be operated upon. Meanwhile, somebody introduced a magnetherapist to Odumakin in Ijebu- Ode. So, he went there and had to be in that place for about three months. I will still go there to visit him and give him money.”

“Somehow, he returned from that place, but the hand did not heal up. He came to my house. About two hours after he came, that arm broke apart, blood was gushing out in large quantity. The blood that came out of Odumakin that day was more than a gallon. My steward Segun was there and he is still with me today to corroborate my claim. If not for Segun’s courage that night, it was going to be difficult for me in that house. The bloodstain was just so much.”

“Even Odumakin himself had been totally soaked in his own blood. With God’s help, we managed to contain the situation that day because with the amount of blood he lost, what would I have said if he had died at my place?”

“A week after, his wife Joe Okei-Odumakin called me that that hand had started issuing out odour and that it was becoming problematic in their home. She also told me that the magnetherapist in Ijebu-Ode had recommended that if they could visit India, perhaps the unorthodox practitioners might be able to do something about it.”

“Then I was still in Obanikoro and there was no mobile telephone like we have now. I had to send this gentleman here, Comrade Popoola Ajayi to go to Odumakin’s place and give him a letter because immediately after my discussion with the wife, I called then Governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and discussed the whole issue with him. He then told me that if that was what I wanted to take care of Odumakin’s hand, I should ask him to write a letter to that effect in request. So, Popoola took the letter to his house.”

“Now, the wife wrote the request letter and went to the governor’s office but they won’t allow her to see the governor. So, when she called me from the governor’s office, I had to talk to the ADC that I have already spoken to Tinubu over the matter, so she should be allowed in. And that was exactly what they did. You can also confirm from the wife if I lied on this.”

“Immediately, she came in, Governor Tinubu invited his Commissioner for Health and his Commissioner for Finance to go and do whatever they had to do in order to get both Odumakin and his wife visa and other necessary things needed for them to visit India.”

“I was told by the magnetherapist that they will nothing less than N2million for the whole treatment. And that was exactly what Governor Tinubu did and Odumakin travelled a week thereafter. He was the one who told me his experience in India that out of the five doctors, it was only one that said let them open the hand first.”

“The other doctors were asking the wife to sign that they will need to amputate the hand. But one of them insisted that they should first of all open the hand, perhaps maybe not all the two bones had been affected.”

“Fortunately for him, only one of the bones had been affected and the surgery was successfully carried out and the hand was not amputated. That is why till today, he cannot stretch the hand. But what do we see today? There are no evil things Odumakin cannot say about Tinubu and Opadokun. Let his conscience be the judge as he is reading this. Do we deserve such from such a man? That is to show how ungrateful and mercenary that young man is.”
All these you wrote,shouldn't make the Odumakin a slave to Tinubu. Compare what you brought up here,and all the accusations against Tinubu,you will see why you Nigerians worship money,instead calling a spade,a spade...
Your only defense for Tinubu is paying the man's hospital bill,it is finished!!!

Mumu. Was he courageous enough to face a sitting President?
Who had the balls in those days to face Obasanjo and get away with it Bode George and Fayose tried it and we all know what happened.

Was he courageous enough to remove a sitting President. Go and ask Goodluck Baba Jay who Tinubu is.


Due to the respect I give to the dead I will allow you to eulogise the featherweight.
But never compare him to Tinubu

I actually posted the link on another page. I believed he saw it and copy the content of the Facebook page here. Your comment does not make sense either. I only posted the link for people to know the genesis of the protracted sickness that finally degenerated into the sickness that killed him. When people died, they said after a brief illness without knowing what the person has gone through for years. Also, if fund has been made available on time, the sickness or infection might have not degenerated into other areas.

For a man to have lost a blood of almost a gallon in the house of baba Opadokun, that was a near death experience. If he had not travelled to India, perhaps, he wouldn't have had the health for activities or he might have even died long time ago.

And who is in hell today after all the lies relentless personal attacks and the politics of do or die and destruction?

Definitely not Asiwaju,



Politic is just politics, it's not a do-or-die affair, but this man turned politics into politics or bitterness, politics of acrimony, politics of daily and relentless personal attacks even when the issues had nothing to do with politics.

This man barked, and vociferously lied about Tinubu's age, he launched relentless personal attacks instead of confining his thoughts to just politics and national issues, he spent and wasted his days lying and needlessly attack other people all in the name of politics of bitterness and personal attacks.


The same Tinubu that he attacked and rubbish just a few days ago about his age is still alive and well regardless of his age, but you the bitter, angry, and mean-spirited attacker is no longer with us regardless of your own age young or old.

The same Tnibu saved your life when the wall of death was closing in on you when you had no hope, no means, or any capacity to service and heal because of sickness, but all because of politics, you spent your last days as a human being attacking,m abusing and insulting the same man that saved your life.

Tinubu in his human, understanding, and character of humility did not say a word, he did not respond in kind, but you are no longer with us to continue dishing out insults, personal attacks, disturbing the country with politics of bitterness, hatred, anger, personal attacks, insults, and abuse.

This is when as a society reflect and access our ways and adjust how we conduct ourselves, politics is just politics, it shouldn't be the end of the world.


Life is what you make it, life is just too short.

Asiwaju is a shining example, learn from him.

SS is not Igbo.
Well afonja oil parasites has been sucking the blood of Igbo resources since 1956.

You think you can divide the Igbo land by creating 1,000 states & calling it "south south"

But get this Afonja, 90% of Rivers is IGBO SOIL.

No square inch of Igbo soil whether in Delta, Edo, Rivers, Benue, Beyalsa , Cross River, Kogi , Akwa Ibom, will be ceded to any Afonja, oil parasitic cone head ever.

Not sure why the likes of Odumakin, Akeredolu , and many other Afonjas want to grab the ROYAL IGBO. blood by marrying Igbo.

All what Odumakin wrote about Tinubu can be grouped under two categories;

1) Differences in political views

2) Insinuations and unfounded rumours by Odumakin against Tinubu.


The second category seems more of personal envy to objective and fair minded analysts.

That's the more reason why normal heads should remain neutral and note that we have common enemy and that's bad leadership...
I hope everything will seem unfounded also when it is against some other politicians who you are not in love with.
The narration by Odumakin,is so convincing that if it were not against Tinubu,their lord and personal saviour, media propagandists,used urchins,would have swam into.

I am far more emotionally and chronologically matured than joining the bandwagon of hating politicians because I don't like their style of politiking.
Now let me explain some of my stands on Odumakin's vituperations against Tinubu to you

1) Odumakin claimed that Tinubu was over 80years in 2016. Was Odumakin there when he was born? Can he proved this insinuation?

2) Odumakin even referred to a picture of Tinubu in 1974 at the Palace of the Shoun and was saying emphatically that he couldn't be 22 years then because he saw a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of beer in his front.
This is very pretty. It's not about good governance or even morality.

3) Odumakin claimed that Gov Gboyega Oyetola is the son of the immediate elder sister of Tinubu. Can he proved this? This is just pure speculation but he was banding it around as the gospel truth as if he was the father of Oyetola.

4) Finally Tinubu never bothered to reply him in all these vituperations.

If you are abusing someone ahead of you but the person ignores you, it's better that you stop but if you continue, it portray you as being unnecessarily envious of him

1.He tried proving it and it was not refuted.

2.That picture thingy was one of his proofs.
Good governance or not(I don't know want you mean by good governance, if it is having few you empower and control, against the general goodwill of the people),immortality is immortality.

3. Has Gboyega Oyetola or Tinubu himself refuted that claim?Why have you chosen to make conclusions based on your emotions.

4.Tinubu knows the game.
He knows that people will defend him,even if he was caught red handed.I must confess he knows the Nigerian terrain more than most people. As a politician you look tough when you keep quiet, because this is Nigeria and
not America where people are looked up to based on their integrity not because of their position,tribe,religion,party and all those stuff that divides us the more.
You concluded that Tinubu is ahead Odumakin of based only on political position and the band wagon of "anti-masses-generals" he controls ,but I consider a fellow man being ahead of me based on moral standing and integrity. You are a Nigerian anyways,so most of us measure worth based on unscrupulous things and position,not based on morality.
