That was how he was able to hold Lagos for over 20 years after leaving office, kill off all oppositions then infiltrate any new one coming up and kill it before it attains any form of power while he loots recklessly with his cronies, sadly some of his tribesmen who are not benefiting anything see it as their tribes supremacy while the country gets destroyed. Watch them all over the thread rejoicing while people are in their villages and towns crying from insecurity, hunger, inflation and so on, to them this what Nigeria is all about - SUPREMACY 26 Likes 4 Shares |

Brendaniel:It's not his fault that the opposition is clueless, naive, and have balls made of balloons. You all like talking shi like he used voodoo on them. You never ask yourselves what effort has the opposition applied to resist him and build a formidable structure. It's on live video that Obi said Tinubu is the one with the responsibility to solve the crisis in his own party (LP). It's also on live video that Tinubu said it's his pleasure watching the opposition in disarray. Everyone is the problem of the opposition except the opposition themselves. And the Tinubu self, it's not like power fell from heaven unto his lap. For decades, he worked, networked, spent, pooled resources to grow from opposition to an incumbent, as a party and individual. He sacrificed a lot, shelved ambitions to allow the building process. When he was governor, he was the only opposition to OBJ in the SW and survived, while OBJ's PDP was swallowing the SW states one by one. Yet, he remained resolute and continued building. It's not his fault that the oppositions are a bunch of lazy and entitled fellows. How many of the opposition do we have today that is able to pause their ambition for decades so they can build a party first? Not Obi or Atiku, because the two of them run to a new party at every little challenge. Build a political party from scratch - they can't and won't. Restructure and fortify an existing party - they can't and won't. Tinubu supremacy una. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

It will shock all these people running to the APC as though the APC hold their life support. If the people say no, no amount of rigging will save you. |

Georgry:Restructure what? Lagos became a state in 1968 and has had democratically elected civilian governor in 1979 up till military truncation in 1983. Since return of democracy in 1999, Lagos has been under self rule . How is it a Federal appendage and no man's land? What restructuring are you talking about? 9 Likes |
