In the bid to belittle someone's effort, please learn not to downplay. Both GMB & Asiwaju hav played prominent roles at different times in d history of our nation. While GMB played a prominent role in rescuing Nigeria from d clutches of profligate politicians of d NPN, d Asiwaju was a leading light in rescuing us frm d military & in d struggle 4 democracy. When d history of nigeria is written, d name of both men will be written in gold. Asiwaju, a patriot & frontline member of NADECO played a prominent role in d struggle 4 democracy in Nigeria. Even in dis dispensation he has contributed immensely towards deepening our democracy & breaking d evil strangle-hold dat d so-called largest party in africa, d dysfunctional PDP had on our nation. d nation owes him tons of gratitude.

Its just normal. Conflict preceeds development.

You really need to define the meaning and perspective of "freedom fighting" and "principle" here.

I must be getting something wrong. But when you say a "politician" fought for freedom, then you must mean for his party

And then comparing Tinubu with PMB, they sure are not in the same pedestal.

In the bid to gratify someones effort, please learn not to exaggerate !!

N.B: Before you rush to tackle me, i am not affiliated with any party.

Cheers

ATIKU that cannot win election in his ward.Just watch as all of them will be begging Tinubu very soon. BUHARI knows what Tinubu did for him to be president so he cannot joke with him. Lets forget sentiment. If not for Tinubu, Buhari would not have picked the candidacy for APC. Did you forget that Buhari and Atiku contested for the post.
Atiku is just trying to be relevant and maybe trying to pay Tinubu back because Tinubu choose Buhari and not him.
16 years of PDP Atiku never contested for president of Nigeria. Even Clueless Jonathan was prefered to him. Let Atiku contest and see how many votes he will get.

I put it to that you know nothing about TINUBU. Do you remember TINUBU in the Military era? He is not just like any politician. He is brave and fought consistently when all odds were against him. Tinubu no be today politician.

Remember, he is the brain and Architect behind the merger that eventually knock the then ruling party (PDP) out of power.

kibo:

I can relate to your point. He fought for freedom for his party, not for Nigeria. A politician fighting against political annihilation is not a freedom fighter. He is simply pursuing party and personal interest.

We cannot conclude that because one remained an oppostion, then he has principles, that will be gross exaggeration.

I am not trying to negate what you said, but let us choose our words carefully and not exaggerate

Lovely right up, all they are trying to so is destroy APC becauy what most people don't understand is that the moment Tinubu leaves APC, then APC is finished.

So u think Tinubu leaves then he would come back to National politics Look the only reason Y he came to the national mainstreamn was just hix alliance with the north, so remove the north & he is dead nationally & he goes back to his hole (regional politics where he is lord xcluding Ekiti & Ondo...No Southerner can become nationally accepted as PREDSIDENT without the NORTHERN cabals/votes


National Population census is nex year...mark thix space...the NORTH is ONLY just beginning cos by the time they would be through with their own counting, the SOUTH (SS,SE,SW) will cry tearz of blooooood

chukwudi44:
you yorubas are quite funny. You really overate this your tiny god Tinubu!!! You mean to tell me that Atiku would also need Tinubu's help to win elections in his native Adamawa state?

emmydeep:
Atiku playing Tinubu like a game of chess.

What makes the apc thick today is destruction of the pdp n not really the formation of the apc.
N atiku played a Major role in that.Apc wud be reduced to nothing without the pdp elements in the apc.
The way things are going two things are likely to happen to the apc.
1;In the future tinubu wud become irrelivant.
2; The apc wud be destroyed n several blocks wud emerge leading to the formation of New parties.

All these yeye journalists speculating nonsense! They are just trying so hard to destroy the party by coming up with unverifiable situations in a peaceful party.

Tinubu name must have been mentioned more than Jesus and Muhammed combined since PMB took over. Tinubu this, Tinubu that; all I am beginning to see is that some pple are hell bent in bringing down someone who has truly made a lot of sacrifice over years to get us to where we are alongside others of like minds.

Not everything that happens is link to Tinubu or Atiku. This has to stop. Just because these men played a prominent role in the merger process that produced PMB does not mean we should attribute everything that happen in APC to them.

Love him or hate him, Tinubu will always be remembered as a freedom fighter and a man of principle and ideology just like PMB. They are the only two prominent politicians who has remain in opposition for several years and that shows commitment and bravery.

Tinubu is a freedom fighter because he was a major actor whose actively participation in liberating and emancipating the nigeria masses from the stranggle hold and fetters of pdp cannot be under emphasised.

miqos02:
tinubu would have decamped to PDP if he was not in control of Lagos state
