I heard he is corrupt! I also heard he brought a bullion van loaded with cash on the eve of 2019 presidential election. Finally, I heard from reliable sources that EFCC is afraid of him. Someone also said that he is very kind to street gangs because he was a former drug lord. It's well with Nigeria oh. But from the bottom of my heart I wish him the best in his political endeavors and same to all other political aspirants.

OmoAkin85:
stop deceiving the illiterate..Lagos development is inevitable with or without tinubu. Fashola is d best governor of lagos, till date stop dis hype for God’s sake

trutharena:
This same free trade zone now hold billion $$ investments for Lagos. This is a man with foresight, he plan and build a long lasting framework that can be continued with successive government.

When we tell these guys why we are supporting Tinubu because of his past succes as goevrnor, they abuse us and compare him with Obituary OR they accuse us of tribalism.

How can you even compare Tinubu success as governor and ability to grow economy to expand revenue base to that of Obi?

To be honest with you all, and I do hope that you see my argument from my point of view. Tinubu had many things that went well for him given that from 1999 he was the first governor to handle Lagos after a long military regime. Lagos has always been the centre of excellence, anyday and anytime. You need to be someone like Buhari to not make anything good in the 8years you handle a state like Lagos, now using buhari as a comparison is the worst case scenario. Tinubu also had the privilege of being in opposition that did very well after pdp. Infact, he single handedly carried AD to the point where it is now (APC), as much as you see it as a disadvantage this helped him become much more powerful and influential in his own right. Tinubu is a shrewd politician and i agree with that. But were you living in Lagos when Tinubu was governor, did you also live in Lagos when Fashola was governor? If so, you will agree with me that in terms of development, Tinubu did not do much for lagos as compared to his successor Fashola, as far as the visibility rather than the actual physicality of the work that was done in their combined 16years. This could have been for many reasons. one of which I would deduce is the fact that he (Tinubu) probably laid the ground work on what other governors after him ran on, he was also able to control (which was big to his advantage) the choice and selection after him for over 20+ years.

Its easier to see the pain points of others from outside the circle, rather than when you are in it, and especially, when you have the machinery to control it, you can swing the tides your way (which I believe, is what he "Tinubu" did). With that being said, Tinubu under different conditions, such as his age, may have been the best fit for a president given his influence, power and wealth of experience but, I will say, we do not want another Buhari in power. we should not deceive ourselves, Tinubu is way older than how old he claims to be. For this reason alone (his age), I am not supporting him. Nigeria is at a time now where we need someone who will hit the ground running, is not slow, can be at multiple meetings in a short span, will be physically present and to be honest, Tinubu is not that person. We cannot have another 8years of someone that will behave like Buhari in terms of health status. Also, if I was to choose between the two top contenders, I would have gone for an Atiku because he is an inclusive person, he looks physically healthy than Tinubu and also has experience and businesses which semi-automatically translate to the fact that he will be able to manage an economy well.

Then again, if you look at the other spectrum, why will someone want to even vote the both of them in the first place when there is someone much younger, also has a good track record as a former governor, is intellectually sound like the others, able to hit the ground running and has already given snippets of what he can do to move the economy forward which revolves around cutting waste, and increasing production, getting people out of poverty which i think is a good way in a sense to solve many of the issues we are facing today. first of all, these earlier mentioned themes are encompassing because they have sub-themes embedded in them. First off, how do you increase production. This means that you will have to work on the factors of production, Land, Capital, Labor and Entrepreneurship. They also have their sub-themes and the depth goes on and on, and you will need to tackle all these sub-themes before you can say yes, you increased production. You cannot increase production without fixing electricity, you also cannot increase production without working on the distribution channels which also has to do with how those goods get to where they get to. This means that transportation, roads, storage has to be fixed.

I am just giving you a snippet to how these things actually work and work well for you to say yes by tackling these, you increased production, got people out of poverty and also increased the capacity and earnings of the economy you are governing. This is the reason I prefer a Peter Obi because I do believe he is sound, has a clear statement of purpose, and will also check the factors that has been a topic of discussion for a long time now, a SE presidency (it is only fair that we see what SE can do at the helm of affairs. It can never be half as bad as the present administration) , a Christian (a Northern muslim just did his 8years) and a much younger presidential candidature.

I like your write up to some extend, but I do not believe an individual can run a government. You cannot compare Buhari with Tinubu, even at old age. I can tell you, if Buhari is much more younger, I do not see him performing better than now. You cannot make an objective decision between performance and age based on that comparism . I think, young people in Nigeria need to be more deep in their thinking faculty.

In fact,Buhari of Military government who was much more younger is of no different to Buhari that is now older. Experience has showned that, your past will always influence your present performance. Nigeria, been a dynamic country, with diverse culture and religion orientation required someone who has been detrabalised to rule Nigeria at this point. Despite Yar Ardua health challenges, he was still the best president we had in Nigeria.

Littlefingerjp:
okay let's agree he is the best candidate for the job..What of his health issue,will it flee when he becomes president.. In a sane country, you can't present a sick person to be president

Okoroawusa:
Facts don't lie... Love him or hate him you can't dispute the fact that Tinubu is a visionary leader.

Lol, that free zone now hold one of the largest refinery in the world. The tax Lagos will generate from that will be more than Anambra budget in a full year.

Obi Pandora is a lazy economist, in his period he did not expand Anambra revenue base but rather saved money instead. His lack of foresight was why Obiano spent all the money and Soludo met an empty treasury.

Now Sanwo-Olu will benefit from Dangote tax due to the foresight and economic prowress of Tinubu who understood that investments and thinking for the future will save a state.

You also have Eko Atlantic which currently attract investment from even USA government, they will pay taxes to Lagos. This is how you build a state.

We need Tinubu in Nigeria to help us set a proper structure that allow continuity and growth. How can you see all his past achievement and still not believe in him to turn Nigeria around for the better?

Records are always there and facts never lie. Lekki free trade zone is becoming a new city employing hundreds of thousands.

The same people who are some if the greatest beneficiaries of Tinubu's vision are now his greatest critics. It was the same thing they did to Awolowo. These people came from the South East to enjoy Awolowo's free education policy in the early 80s but hated him so much.

I think the best thing is for Nigeria to adopt true federalism with a certain percentage of jobs reserved for people in that region. Lets see how some people will survive if they had to go back to their region.

I'm a Christian, I don't vote for people because of religion. What did Peter Obi achieve when he was the Governor of Anambra state.
If he failed in governing small Anambra State, how will he govern Nigeria without failing again?

This acts as cog in the wheel of development

Admittedly,

It will generate employment...

When we judge him with Lagos today, you guys cry that he is not the governor.

When he brought out his success as governor that still stand till today, you guys cry we are bringing the past.

But the same Meth addicts are trending Obi brewery investment which he did a long time ago which eventually turned out to be a failed investment. You are hypocrites, all of you.

Tinubu is becoming unsellable by the day.

Imagine a 2006 article posted for us to trust 2022 in Tinubu's hands.

Find something sellable about him apart from that he helped people

He didn't help me and over 180 million Nigerians. In fact he punished us with Buhari

perrychemical:


I laugh in one camera. The people called thugs are part of the society. They must be able to fond something doing as well to cater for their own family. The fact that you are educated does not mean you deserve a better life than those without education. That is the mentality of a western way of life. You cannot have a virile society without carrying everyone along. Those guys you call thugs are not actually such, the society, fustration lead them to that kind of life.

AlphaTaikun:

The problem with many young folks online and offline is that they lack problem-solving skills. The so-called shaky hands (symptoms of Parkinsons) that people are talking about with reference to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has a cure already abroad. That is problem-solving. Within 1 week of treatment, all those with neurological disorders will be OK. This symptom even affects young people as low as 35 years!

So treatment is NO MORE a big deal!

It is left for Tinubu to reach out, get treated, and get back on the campaign trail to offers his services to his country, and may the better man win the Presidential elections!

Beverlyjean:


Most of u are dumb to be honest and thats y u keep on selecting the wrong leaders .... Tinubu is from osun state , y dint he contest in osun state to be governor in 99?? Or u think if he contested and won , osun wud hv turned to London... y cant u guys use ur heads... if tomorrow capital is moved from Abuja to Rivers state and a governor is elected to govern Abuja , mumu people like u will still wanna claim that the new governor after many years is the reason y Abuja is well developed and will still wanna compare the governors luck with another governor in another state( maybe Kogi) ....y cant u guys think with ur brains... u all keep on acting like Tinubu developed lagos.... besides, lagos is a commercial city apart from being a former capital... Tinubu is not the reason y lagos has NPA , all banks HQ , Customs , Tank farms , biggest market centres like Alaba, balogun , Idumota , ladipo, chevron , mobil and other upstream oil companies , UAC , Unilever and its likes so as other top big companies....they were all in lagos b4 he even dreamt of being governor... so y compare lagos with Anambra?? And then compare the 2 ex Governors due to states achievements ... Lagos is a former colonial city , Anambra is not .... Lord Lugard lived in lagos , mcpherson lived in lagos , these were Forger Governor Generals ... stop trying to decieve the dull ones into thinking that Tinubu made lagos

redcliff:


well, I agree with you that you cannot juxtapose age and make it a yardstick for good governance or performance and I totally agree with you that Buhari, even younger, would not have been different from what he currently is. But now, those metrics, are not in favor of Tinubu which is the age. It would be safe to say that part of Buhari's ailment was as a result of his old age. He spent alot of time outside the country treating himself for sicknesses when he could have been working. Its just like discarding the criminal record of an applicant for a job just because you think that he has the right skills for said job. You will just not get the job based on other metrics no matter how excellent and in your favor other areas of strength are. The compendium of criteria we are utilizing to evaluate candidates, one factor could be more important that others to different people and for me, his age is the most important factor. This is how I feel about Tinubu's candidature.
