Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

People can share their experience about a person they know and even speak well of them without necessarily being in the same political camp with them.

The UK state visit of President Tinubu is an historic one and it should normally be a moment of proudness for every citizen of Nigeria. You don’t have to be bitter and negative about everything.
No be only proudness

What benefit is it to the average Nigerian when they don’t even have electricity to witness the visit

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

Why do you and Tinubu chase outside validation so much? Is it low self-esteem or imposter syndrome? From aiming to please Worldbank and IMF to celebrating a mere state visit to Britain, a fast declining empire. Why not focus on Nigeria and Nigerians and actually secure the country and make it prosperous for its citizens? As things stand today, Britain will gain more from Nigeria than Nigeria can ever hope to gain from it.
I am as well appalled at the visuals I am seeing this morning. A whole sitting president of the most powerful black nation on earth bowing and kissing the hand of a consort. The same hand she uses to scratch her groin, and the presidents followers are falling over themselves to celebrate the unfortunate spectacle. What height of inferiority complex? If I tell you that I don't miss Buhari, I'd be lying to myself. Right now, I feel so ashamed as a Nigerian.

Buhari was well respected and gave Nigeria dignity and respect internationally. Can't say the same of the current one with low self-esteem who's desperately trying to whitewash his image and might have even procured this visit through lobbying.

Your comment is very irrelevant and for low and ordinary depressed people who comes online only to demonstrate their bitterness with you.

This message from Segun Sowunmi revealed many things " I remember Hilton Metropole, 1994. In exile, I asked you rhetorically what the struggle had cost you. You said: a lot, including selling your houses in America to sustain the democratic cause. I told you then: never mind you would be the greatest beneficiary of that struggle ".

From my analysis since year 2002 when the feud between OBASANJO and Tinubu was hot between President and Governor and efforts were made to criminalize him, I found out the case of money laundering / Tax evasion was in 1993 during Democracy struggle of June 12 crisis. Nobody had sympathy with a man that sold houses and lost money for a cause, rather, they believe only the fabricated conviction story without an evidence.

When you believe in a good course and stay put without giving in to difficults and the constraints,the end result will always be success.

President Tinubu fought for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria and today he is reaping the fruits of his labour.

The forces are truly behind him. Right from his days as governor of Lagos State. Obasanjo'PDP won almost all the states in Nigeria in 2003; Jagaban was the last man standing in the whole of SW! Hence the famous 'last man standing' words from Elumelu.

One thing I learnt from him, never discriminate; help as much people as you can; never see your rivals as enemies. Go to Alausa in those days, you will see people of different tribes working there especially the igbos even in Lagos State government hospitals and schools; Irrespective of where you come from, if you are competent, Jagaban will give you the job.

God bless SW.
God bless Nigeria.

Your guess is good as mine. With the well choreographed ancient British mannerism bullsh.t display, they could have lobbied for this jamboree. Like you rightly pointed out, this is an empire in total decline. It no longer has a manufacturing base, its global influence is now a joke. How far would the British monarchy validation take a Nigerian govt? It's so so appalling.

Late President Buharis charisma could bore a hole right through Zuma Rock. If he were to be the one visiting, it would even be the consort bowing to greet him and not the other way round. We all saw how Trump was all over him at the White house when he visited. That's what we call an electrifying personality. It's a quality this incumbent lacks for good measure.
