Umaru Al-Makura, senator representing Nasarawa south, says Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), can be likened to leaders of the First Republic.

The First Republic was the republican government of Nigeria which spanned three years from 1963 to 1966 when the country had its first military coup.

The former Nasarawa governor said Tinubu belongs to the league of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola, and Sir Ahmadu Bello — who played key roles in helping Nigeria secure its independence.

Speaking with NAN on Monday, Al-Makura said none of the presidential candidates can match the competence and achievements of the APC standard bearer for the 2023 election.

He said the combination of Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, his running mate, would put the country on the path of progress and development.

“You cannot find any of them that can come close to the combination of Tinubu and Shettima,” he said.

“Take them one by one and compare with any of the two pairs in other parties, you won’t go far before you realise that it is not a contest.

“Take Tinubu and what he has done in Lagos state and the country physically, politically, socially, culturally and economically, I do not see any presidential candidate that can match his competence, achievements and vision.

“In the course of trying to defend Nigeria’s democracy, Tinubu had to flee the country. Tinubu and others stood their guns to ensure that democracy was rooted in the country.

“How many brave Nigerians could do what Tinubu has done to this country way back in 1993? He sacrificed his time and comfort for the sake of democracy.

“For that alone, he has no equal among the presidential candidates. Take infrastructural development and transformation of Lagos.

“Look at the way he mentored people. I call him mentor of mentors. You can liken Tinubu to our leaders of the First Republic. The Sardaunas, Akintolas, the Awolowos, the Azikiwes, who made people what they were at that time.

“And this to me is a leader that is cut in their image. Talk about any prominent Nigerian.

“Get a number of prominent Nigerians that have excelled and attained certain very enviable positions, you find substantial number of them were mentored by Tinubu. Examples are all over the place to see.”

Tinubu is no where near Chief Obafemi Awolowo

What an insult.

This is blasphemy of the highest order. Puting an idiot, an inconsequential being, a void human in the same league with our heroes. Imagine the insult.


For your information, Yekini Amoda, Mc Oluomo and Tony Kabaka are in the same league. Yekini idiot Amdoa is nothing close to our heroes.

Tinubu may be in the same league with Awolowo but he's no where near Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello.

The sick ancestor bat never die yet & they are already comparing him with dead men.
No wonder some people call him Walking Dead.

Asiwaju Tinubu has always been a Star. The whole of Nigeria just realized we have a rare gem in our life time after losing most of those great men of the 1st republic to Igbo soldiers-dominated coup which resulted into the unfortunate Nigerian civil war.

Asiwaju Tinubu is the most brilliant and visionaty leader among all the candidates.

What an insult


Tinubu, a drug lord with no verifiable origin, Left Lagos State in ruins making it the second most unliveable city in the world after Damascus, the capital of war thorne Syria,
became the biggest landlord in Lagos State by converting all Lagos State properties to himself and cronies, also, he channelled all Lagos State internally generated revenue in to his private pockets through Alpha Beta, made the wife a perpetual senator, the daughter the iyaloja of all market and the son in charge of all advert placement in Lagos State.

Did any of the first Republic leaders did any these that Al-makuta will be comparing them with the Iragbeji drug lord
