The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says he has inspired many African leaders who have also gone ahead to create social change.

Tinubu, who is a former governor of Lagos State, said this at the formal launch of the Centre for African Entrepreneurship and Leadership and his investiture as the Patron at the University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, according to a statement on Wednesday.

The APC leader, who was represented by his wife, Remi, said national leadership must establish the right policies, provide the necessary infrastructure and create the enabling institutional environment under which ambitious entrepreneurs can become productive.

He said, “Visionary and disciplined leadership in Africa is one thing I am passionate about. I have invested much of my adult life to mentoring new leaders who can create opportunities for citizens to exercise and actualise their full potentials.

“I am gratified to see how many of those whom I have worked with have excelled and have gone on to inspire others to embrace the model of selfless, result-oriented leadership.

“I am inspired by how democratic values and principles create the condition for individuals to access opportunities to better their lives and the lives of others.”

The APC leader said he contributed greatly to the struggle against military rule. He added that he would continue to protect democracy in Africa.

Tinubu said Africa had become a more peaceful continent than it was many years ago because most African countries are now practising democracy.

He said, “As a democrat who fought against military dictatorships, I appreciate the fragile gains of democratic governance. Because of the momentum of democracy and rule of law, Africa is now, more than ever, primed for economic growth and productive partnerships.

“Citizens have become more aware and more engaged in the process of choosing their own leaders. They are dismantling undemocratic structures that have held them back far too long. African economies are increasingly becoming more rational and focused on identifying what shall be their critical path to development.”

The former governor lamented the spate of terrorism in the North-East but urged the government to also concentrate on rehabilitating victims and providing relief to them.

He said there was a need for the world to come together to battle terrorism as the recent attack in Paris had shown that even developed countries are now vulnerable to attacks.

True.

You have also inspired us in Nigeria too. I knew you were destined to be great, when you single handedly fought Obasanjo to a stand still.

You were the last man standing in the West.

That fight, set in motion the demise of the PDP and Corruption in Nigeria.

You inspired Buhari.

You inspired Desmond Elliot.

You Inspired Mama Taraba.

You inspired the National Assembly.

You inspired 98% of those on Nairaland.

The other 2% have sunk into the dungeon of irrelevancy.

You inspired Hunger_is_BAD.

Hailing ohh the Jagaban of that Kingdom FarFar away.

Our blood is starched and very loyal.

So dis man turn turn hinself to AFRICAN GOD FATHER, Yeyenatu



meanwhile some1 should wake me up when Tinubu is done with amala ang ewedu soup

I owe you that Jagaban, an average wailer only see black kettle and fail to see the white pap produced by it, your legacy will forever linger in my memory.

Yes he has inspired Africa in all the wrong things.

Lol

He doesn't have any influence beyond SW, but you forgot he put your Buhari there, he put all the APC executives there starting frm the national chairman, except that slowpoke called Timi Frank

He doesn't have influence, yet he put his boy as a running mate to Audu in Kogi state

He doesn't have influence, all the Tambuwal of this world has turn his Bourdillon house to a mecca sort of

He doesn't have influence, yet, he has mentored other African leaders and presidents...examples abound....in his capacity as a private citizen, he's d only citizen that receives presidents and heads of Govt, yet, he left office since 2007

He doesn't have influence, yet he has unalloyed loya senators who are up to 40, even Buhari doesn't command such...over 120 house of rep members

Finally, u remember he put the VP there singlehandedly

Mention any other politician in ur lineage, whether pre-independence, post independence, or post year 2000, who command such influence, whether in ur family, town, state or ethnic group....

If u can mention one, then I can admit that BAT is a local champion

I don't like this man but truth be told, he has truly inspired many african leaders.....

We're just been blinded by our hate for him, but if there is anything I will. Ever like him for, it will be for fighting OBJ to a stand still! To me he is probably the only Yoruba leader I've seen that's not a coward (or should I say that crossed the line off cowardice!)

Tinubu fought Obasanjo and the PDP led federal government to a stand still while Amaechi also fought Jonathan intelligently and he won.
I'm looking for someone that will do likewise in PDP and fight the APC led central government intelligently and triumph but with the way Fayose is acting he's nothing near the intelligent personnel required or envisaged to stand up to the government of the day challenging them on delivering on dividend of democracy.
All i see are the few PDP governors hiding under their shell hoping and praying not to face the wrath of federal mechanism because most of them cannot fulfil their obligations as simple as workers salary without the intervention of the federal government, most of the PDP governors are even pleading with the federal government to help them secure loans or bonds from the world bank.
How can leaders like these be a sound and vibrant opposition leaders not to talk of been a charismatic leader like Tinubu or Amaechi.

TINUBU SAID AFRICA HAS BECOME A MORE PEACEFUL CONTINENT THAN IT WAS MANY YEARS BACK BECAUSE MANY AFRICA COUNTRY ARE NOW PRACTISING DEMOCRACY . Kudos to Dr Ebele Jonathan for he's peaceful demonstration during the national election which many thought second world war was going to occur in Africa Nigeria.

Lol Tinubu mentored african leaders and control over 40 senators and 120 HOR members!! Bros abegi what brand of goof do you smoke? Its potency must be very strong.

Tinubu controls 40 Senators yet 82 out of the 109 senators(excluding SP&DSP) passed a vote of confidence on the senate leadership!!! 120 HOR members indeed!! You people just like making noise!! Tell me the list of African heads of state that Tinubu mentored!!so the likes of Aregbesola,Fashola are now african leaders baa? Which Tambuwal turned his house into a mecca? The same Tambuwal that bleeped up Gbajabiamilla's speakership bid? Tell me something please.

Am only interested in what the wailers and children of hatred will have to say. They are so jealous of Tinubu's achievement that they wish late ojukwu was like him.

It is very pathetic when the Tinubu man doesnt know when he was scammed. Buhari and the Hausa Fulanis used him to grab back power and afterwards dumps him.
When a cat begins to imagine itself to be a lion it calls for concern.
