Credit Must Be Given To Bola Tinubu. The True Face Of Opposition In Nigeria by davodyguy: 6:58pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
Since the euphoria of the election victory, no one has deemed it fit to give credit to Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban and the man behind the opposition in Nigeria. He was elected in 1999 as the governor of Lagos State, under the platform of Alliance for Democracy (AD) and after the 2003 general election, Bola Tinubu remained the only surviving AD governor to be reelected as Governor. He contested against funsho Williams and he won a keenly contested election. AD lost in other Southwestern states. from 2003-2007, he fought the powers at the top. What Amechi is doing now, was done by BAT against OBJ. OBJ seized the allocation for years. Instead of Lagos to collapse, BAT devised a means to increase the IGR for the state, which sustained Lagos State. in 2007, he stood against other big names in AC and made Fashola the governor. Fashola a product of BAT performed excellently. from 2007 and 2012, he regained Ondo, Edo, Ekiti and Osun from PDP. in 2011, he ensured that ACN regained other southwestern states lost to PDP in 2003. He also ensure the emergence of Aminu Tambuwal as the speaker of the house of Rep, against the wishes of the PDP. He made George Akume the minority leader of the senate, instead of someone from Southwest. He strengthened the opposition by releasing his party for the formation of APC, realising that to take power from PDP, you need a formidable force. He ensured the emergence of GMB as the APC flag bearer, sponsoring him, making Amechi campaign DG and then selecting a Pastor as GMB's running mate to secure the Christian Block votes. What else can I say? BAT is 100% responsible for what we are about to celebrate tonight. Give credit to who deserves it 13 Likes 1 Share |

I've never really liked him, cause I consider him corrupt. But that same corruption has made him wrestle with the largest party in west Africa and did what has never happened before in the history of Nigeria He deserves all credit 3 Likes |

His support for GEJ in 2011, made GEJ win the SW. He withdrew the support and GEJ collapsed. He is the Awolowo of this generation. Long live Jagaban Asiwaju Bola Tinubu 11 Likes 1 Share |

Tinubu sacrificed his personal project, the ACN to join other progressives in forming a bigger platform APC and that became the joker that dislodged the PDP that had previously vowed to rule Nigeria for 50years. That is really admirable. I salute the tenacity od the Founder/Chairman of the Council of Tinubu Political Academy 1 Like |

In Nigerian politics we should actually study Jagaban. He is an enigma. He had what Awo never had. Politics of give and take, Politics of compromise. In Politics everywhere in the world you would never amount to anything without compromise Tinubu actually took out of the playbook of Akintola in that regard I have more to say about Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban Borgu 3 Likes |
