Tinubu irrelevant? Don't be foolish! He has quietly put in place mechanism that will ensure he keeps making Billions for years to come. He's operating on a national scale now and only the ignorant one would think he's irrelevant in Nigerian politics!

Professor Adewole was Baba Akande's nominee with the backing of Tinubu. Tinubu also nominated the SGF Babachir Lawal. He has the FIRS Chairman - Tunde Fowler. Abike Dabiri and the former deputy gov are his loyalists, among others. Only a fool will take this piece seriously!

kikikikikikikiki............I couldn't finish reading this heap of rubbish, cos the lies were too bitter to swallow. This is another ploy by PDP and its useless followers to tarnish this man.

The point is, he is better than you in the politics of defamation, calumny and public spinning. Asiwaju owns the media in Nigeria. He'll twist the this bad game against you and will have you begging for oxygen. Whoever is behind this propaganda should just be ready for what is coming, cos he'll serve you hot,fresh and at the craziest place.

Beautiful rubbish

One is just giving this a mention because it is very telling when someone of Tinubu’s caliber, a political godfather of no small means, one who has made and unmade many political careers and ambitions, has been reduced to political invalid.
It speaks volumes about the lackadaisical attitude of our political leaders in 1998/1999 that an indicted DRUG lord who was SQUATTING in Gbenga Daniel's office and house as he was broke and penniless after forfeiting $460,000 to pay off his crime, would be our Asiwaju Asiwere and quickly emerge a multi-billionaire while we SLAVE away, owed salaries by his Ajeles aka satellite chiefs. angry
I guess that the greediness & selfishness of those who collaborated closely with the tout is what led us here.

I remain grateful to Gbenga Daniel – Tinubu dismisses rift rumors



https://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/tinubu1.jpg?fb3601



A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has cleared the air on the alleged enmity between him and a former two-term Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

Tinubu, who spoke through Mr. Wale Edun at the 25th anniversary celebration of Otunba Gbenga Daniels’ Kresta Laurel, said there is no truth in the stories that he has been fighting with Gbenga Daniel, adding that they are still good friends.

Edun said: “I am here representing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and my presence is to show that there is no friction between Asiwaju and Otunba Gbenga Daniel”


Mr. Edun went on to explain that whenever Tinubu drives past the Kresta Laurel building in Maryland, Lagos, he remembers the enormous contributions Daniel made to the take off of his administration in 1999 and was immensely grateful.

He revealed that the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain was very gracious to donate the Kresta Laurel building to Tinubu’s campaign team at the time it was just being completed.

“The Daniels also made a section of their home available to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu whenever he worked too late and could not go home.
After the election, he also allowed us to use it for the Transition Committee where he was a member”

Reminds me of house of cards..for the people saying that tinubu has something up his sleeve, plesae who will tinubu run to for conspiracy this time, the fulani's has already use him and dump him, Ondo and ekiti is Pdp. And ofcourse he wont dare turn to the south east, so if the Jagaban is planing something he better do it will only dry poverty stricken osun, oyo and Ogun, south south is waiting for their own pond of fresh for betraying and conspiring in removing their Son.

Meanwhile here is Tinubu watching PMB's administration grin

Re: Bola Tinubu: The Pains Of A Godfather By Remi Oyeyemi by Teespice(f):
this kain picture wey op use sef

very funny.

modified.

the writer of this article made sense. people will choose to say all sorts because he has said the truth. this man held sway sha. imposing candidates on electorates. his wife and in law in the Senate. I recall saying that I wanted agbaje as lagos state Governor not because he's suited for the job but because tinubu has enough influence in the federal level and adding state to it would be disastrous.

what I didn't know was that he would fade into oblivion this quick. all his loyalists Don run comot. minister's appointment he had no say. let me not go into the positions of Senate president and speaker of house of reps as well. in fact, what saraki is going through now though he deserves it was spearheaded by tinubu for daring to defy him(i might be wrong though).

kudos should be given to him though for having the guts to challenge PDP (election wise) as well as unifying several political parties into what is known as APC today.

would I be wrong if I called him a political orphan?

would his silence be mistaken for someone who has already given up, a coward who cannot fight back or someone who is planning and strategising a comeback afterall he's not called lion of bourdillion for nothing.

only time would tell.

I dislike Tinubu since the Gani Fawehinmi days. Gani once called him an incorrigible thief "Tell Magazine"

... but if you think his power is going down, you are deceiving yourself.


1. Bukola Saraki is busy begging and prostrating up and down while some one is writing long article.


2. The Vice President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria is Tinubu's person

3. Governors of Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Lagos, Edo State.

I don't like God Fatherism but the silence of Tinubu is not a symbol of cowardice.

Forget Oyo and Ogun.
Ajimobi is Tinubu's contemporary (if not his senior) in the downstream oil sector and playing with then military boys before politics. He used Tinubu to get the governorship and that is where it ends.
Amosun is a Buhari person, having used ANPP platform in 2007 after he left PDP where he was senator for four years (2003-2007). He even romanced with CPC in 2011 before he was finally elected on ACN platform.

Nor be only Ogbeni Ojuyobo sabi do Use & Dump to others.
That was how he used Baba Dawodu in 1999 to edge out Engr. Funsho Williams who was slated to be AD's candidate, only to be brutally murdered in 2006 to pave way for his then protege, the virtually unknown baby progreTHIEF- Barawo Rogue Fashole (BRF)!

In the political & economic Engineering of any nation,there are people that matters,a leader who simply forget this will do that at his own peril ..Jagaban is one of the leaders that matter in Nigeria political & economic affairs. Nobody can marginalise a star in the game he knows how to play best.. No ! It is not possible ..you need some people more than they need you in life..such is the political value of Jagaban in the Nigeria setting of today..
Re: Bola Tinubu: The Pains Of A Godfather By Remi Oyeyemi by Freshboi: 6:40pm On Mar 18, 2016
Some of you guys still don't get it. I agree that Jagaban has been temporarily schemed out of things. This is normal. In Politics, personal interests override all. That is why he has stuck to the South West. No matter what any body does, Jagaban is relevant in national politics. He produced the V. P, FIRS chairman and others. He ruffled Saraki to his core.

He is my hero.
