Yes, he is.
Never in the history of this country have we ever had a President who does whatever he wants to do; who doesn't blink an eye before any opposition; who does not even care about what anybody thinks, and, there's nothing anybody can do about it. 😎

I think you mean the most strategic and crooked....

Honestly, he just might be.
Everyone thinks it's easy to be the president, but if you were to give them the opportunity they would realize it not all rainbows and sunshine. Buhari made so much noise before becoming president, but ended up being the worst president in recorded Nigeria history. Goodluck Jonathan was a good man, but couldn't hold his ground, he was consistently frustrated by Northern politicians. Yaradua had a bit of everything, but unfortunately didn't live long, Obj is the origin of our problems.

Tinubu is not a good man, but he is practical, intelligent and strategic.

Before he came into power I was horrified that a man like Tinubu was going to be president, I couldn't stand looking at his posters and I felt like I wanted to vomit anytime I see his face.

Even now, I still can't look at his face for 2 seconds, but I realize now that none of the other contenders would have handled things better than him, not Atiku, not Peter Obi and not Kwankwaso. They are all making noise, you give them the position they will all dance to the tunes of the cabals and upper class.
Not a fan of Tinubu but Tinubu get craze fir head o. Anybody that want to run this country successfully must be moving mad. He can't say, yes sir to anyone unlike others. Ordinary eyes can't restore the lost glory of Nigeria and Tinubu will call you out with his full chest. He no send anybody papa o. Any other person that can act like him is Wike. Dem get stone heart

Obasanjo is the most powerful and influential based on his antecedents, economically and politically overboard.

I believe he is. Obasanjo that seemed to be tough was still scared of north. He has the kind of madness Nigerians need. Only a mad man can rule Nigeria
I tell you. Peter Obi can't do it o. Not discrediting anyone but he will bow to the cabals and do their bid. Another person that can take after Tinubu is Wike. Dem both get that madness

What a DumbAss and Steewpid assertion! For a man who has practically become only the commander in Chief of Southern Nigeria with the increasing portion of the entire north falling to jihadist bandits! What a dumb statement!

Re: Is Tinubu The Most Powerful President Nigeria Ever Produced? by HRTOFAKNG(m): 3:25pm On Feb 13
Every president is powerful in their own right , Tinubu is not different from the rest. But if you want to aggregate evil manipulation as a sign of absolute power then I'd say give it to TINUBU! 😎
Re: Is Tinubu The Most Powerful President Nigeria Ever Produced? by Oracleee: 3:26pm On Feb 13
Most powerful leader Nigeria has ever produced?
Powerful in what sense?
If by powerful you mean politically strategic, deeply connected, and highly influential within party structures but deeply disconnected with people he governs. then yes, that argument can be made. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is undeniably a master politician.
But if power is measured by effective control of the state, security of lives, and stability of the nation then the reality on ground tells a different story. With persistent killings, kidnappings, and widespread insecurity, it’s difficult to equate political dominance with national control.
There’s a difference between being politically sound and being administratively effective.
Tinubu may be a great political strategist. But leadership is not just about winning elections or controlling party machinery; it’s about translating power into order, safety, and measurable progress.
Sometimes the skill that gets you to the top isn’t the same skill required to govern from the top. Perhaps he would have been more suited to remaining what he excels at party structuring and political engineering rather than executive leadership.

In short, he's a great politician but bad leader.

Are you counting ipob too as part of new terror groups because Tinubu has conquered ipob/ESN, threw their presidents in jails and broke the ipob backbones. So, I don't know those six you are counting if you remove the conquered ipob/ESN?

HE IS A MASTER OF THE GAME. THE FIRST REAL POLITICIAN ELECTED AS PRESIDENT. FROM OBJ TO BUHARI, TELL ME WHO AMONG THEM IS A POLITICIAN. MILITARY IMPOSED OBJ ON US. OBJ IMPOSED YAR' ADUA ON US. PRESIDENT GEJ IS ACCIDENTAL ONE. LIKE YAR ADUA, GEJ WASN'T READY. FOR APC TO GET PDP OUT OF ASO ROCK, THEY RODE THROUGH THE POPULARITY OF BUHARI IN THE NORTH TO DO SO. BUHARI WASN'T THE BEST IN THE APC THEN.
SO ANYBODY COMPARING TINUBU WITH OTHERS, IN TERMS OF STRATEGY, IS WASTING HIS TIME.

LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Lol. The so called 'most powerful' that has succeeded, as T-Pain, in inflicting the most diabolical and devastating pains upon the masses of this great country, slicing our GDP to half within a space of just 2 years yet boldly claiming without shame to give us a one trillion dollar economy by nightfall...
Re: Is Tinubu The Most Powerful President Nigeria Ever Produced? by Olasquare4real: 3:40pm On Feb 13
In my own people believe is powerful because of most PDP governors or other parties members turn into APC party,no that not what they call powerful in politics,Tinubu only shows the level of corruption in Nigeria government system,mostly the so called Nigeria governors and the federal representatives, that's why everyone of them is move to APC for protection against their financial misappropriation and recklessness, is either you join APC and become a saint or find yourself in the custody of EFCC and ICPC,so in my own view that's not what they power.

The agitation for the state of Biafra is an ideology whose time has come.

Before tinubu, Biafra was.

No matter how many people you kill or throw into jail, it will not stop the agitation until it is actualized.

Jail Kanu today, tomorrow another more committed than him will take his place.

Weep not for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, but for yourself and your unborn.

I couldn't have said it better. We know who Tinubu Is, but who will bell the cat? Nigeria's issue has gone beyond what an Obi or an Atiku can solve. Tinubu will try, but Obi will cower and capitulate. Atiku Is a mafian thief! He's evil beyond where the eyes can reach. If you doubt it, ask Obasanjo. As for Kwankwanso, he's not there. I don't like religion extremists. Live and let live.

And the terror groups are being dealt with seriously including their suspected sponsors like Malami. Elrufai and Kwankwaso need to watch their back. Just have it at the back of your mind that Tinubu didn't create insecurity but he's doing well to deal with them.

Obasanjo needs to accept responsibility for allowing shariah to stay in a country that allows freedom of religious worship. He could have worked with the United states to stop shariah.

Even under Donald Trump,Americans have killed more than 15,000 people through terrorism called gun violence.

People are saying that President Tinubu is the most powerful because no other govt since the creation of Nigeria has ever performed like this baba Tinubu.


No govt is perfect and without corruption but President Tinubu has been very prudent with the finances of Nigeria.
He has also paid off $7 billion dollars Nigeria owed foreign airlines making a total of almost $ 11 billon that he has paid.
He is also doing....

NELFUND...If you are poor and have 100 children,go and put them for university.Tinubu will pay their school fees and also give them#20,000 Every month for pocket.It is when they get work that they will pay back like kobo kobo without interest.No job,no pay cheesy

CREDIT SCHEME.

FREE TECHNICAL COLLEGES WITH FREE FOOD AND PAYMENT OF #22,500 TO ALL STUDENTS EVERY MONTH.

FREE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR ALL PENSIONERS NATIONWIDE.

SUBSIDISED DIALYSIS TREATMENT.

ETC

You think say all the people wey dey enjoy these goodies wey never happen for Nigeria before go allow you commot am?
Ehn baba?
We no go gree,sir.

He is also executing numerous massive projects in all the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria.
Since the creation of Nigeria,no govt has performed like him even as he has just used less than 3 years.

He has also promised,God willing,to end terrorism and banditry before he hands over in 2031.
God will surely do it for us
May God accept Nigerians' prayers to end this bloodletting .
God always triumphs.

Re: Is Tinubu The Most Powerful President Nigeria Ever Produced? by APman: 4:40pm On Feb 13
What a useless post..

What did you mean by the word powerful?

Tinubu is the most powerless president Nigeria have ever produced.

Is it because he doesn't care if you are dieing or not?

Is it because he uses and spent our money carelessly and buy everyone he wishes to buy.

Is it because he doesn't have human heart?

Is being wicked make someone to be powerful?

The most powerful president should be kind of person that has integrity and power.
