must of you that call tinubu a regional champion say this out of ignorance .tinubu is a force to reckon with in africa not just nigeria.before apc tinubu party ACN already had governors , senators, house of reps in
south west
south east
south south
north central
north west

foreign diplomats troop in his residence when they come to town

he has africa presidents that re his allies.

tinubu played a key role in forcing yahaya jameh out of power.
he offered to take yahaya jameh out of gambia with his private jet if he surrender power

i can go on and on
...pls speak wisely, gambia's formal and present president all worked under obj's AN-UN administration, obj made that nation THEGAMBIA, he is a political force influencing africa and not states like his subordinate

exactly on point, do you know some people in my neighbourhood said that tinubu is more powerful than obasanjo. i strongly disagree with them.if obasanjo can create ADC party and still alot of lawmakers in the green and red chamber are decamping to ADC , definitely he is widely accepted. tinubu should create another party and let us see how he is more strong and widely accepted.

Are you bn folk naija politics at all? Tinubu singlehandedly created ACN that produced major opposition that any party in Naija recent history. But when you are talking about influence in naija it is Obj no doubt he may not control a local government like Tinubu but more who is who in Nigeria take order from him

Take this for a perspective....

Obasanjo is about the only Nigerian living who can go to any part of Nigeria and possibly confront the powers that be... even the highest traditional institutions ...and come back unscathed. Obasanjo can come to your village and slap your traditional ruler and nothing will happen.

If Tinubu makes something as simple as a foray outside the South West, he risks being stoned to death.

Hope you got it?
very true.

You're right, absolutely. We should just have it in mind that Tinubu's local influence is more productive and beneficial to whoever he supports. I'm still looking at how Obj's endorsement of and support for Atiku will translate to votes.

Some how the baton was passed from Awolowo to Tinubu. As far as southwest is concern, Tinubu is the most influential. He is the man and he single handedly controls Lagos. As for Obasanjo, it will be very difficult for you to point any of part of Nigeria where he is that influential. Even in his home state, he's lost elections in the past. Take his daughter for example who lost his senatorial re-election.

Yes, u might say because him turning his back against Johnathan was the beginning of Johnathan's downfall in 2015 but u and I know that without Tinubu mobilising the southwest Buhari wouldn't have gotten the huge number of vote he got from southwest and as a result he wouldn't have won.

In reality, Obasanjo his been hype that he that influential. In 1999, if not for the likes of ibb, danjuma, gussau, etc that helped him get vote from the north he wouldn't have won that election bcoz he lost overwhelmingly in southwest.

2019 is fast approaching and we will see who is more influential since they are both in opposite camps. Let's see if obj will help Atiku win the election this time.

In short, Alaye, Tinubu la gba ade fun cuz he's more than a man. He is a small god

osun state last governorship election has shown tinubu red card that he is not welcome again.even in ijesha zone where the current governor, aregbesola came from, pdp won 4 local government out of6 local government in that axis. tinubu only has his power in lagos state cos' of structures he built.
Re: Obasanjo Vs Tinubu: Who Is More Powerful And Influential? by Sannisege: 8:37pm On Oct 11, 2018
you are a child indeed. So if in your myopic eyes Saraki taught Tinubu lesson, then what did Tinubu do to OBJ and still doing to him? Please go and play with sand outside. small pikin.
Modarun:


Hahaha bunch of clowns, Tinubu is all that but little Saraki taught him a lesson in National politics at the senate leadership fight?. Who knows Tinubu outside of the South West? Are we talking about Tinubu who our dancibg Senator and Davido gave a political black eye? Tinudu who with over 40k police men, and 5000 Millitary and paramillitary couldnt deliver Osun to his cousin but had to result to rewriting the constitution and change goal posts before they coukd rig out Adeleke?
Tinubu is a local Champion, stop according to him what he is not, this is why when we told you all he cant remove Saraki his supporters were making empty noise about. Is not the same Tinubu the likes of Abbah kyari and co threw to the dogs after 2015? treated him like an ourcast and still ordered him back?, you dnt do such to international or national Champions like OBJ without consequencies. You only do that to local champions eho dnt have a choice but to obey. Tinubu allowed all the hailing to get to him head, but was cut down to size when he tried to install Lawan and his boy Gbajamila as Senate President and Speaker respectively. Tinubu might be a god in South west, but he is a no body nationally. in this country we have national players and local and regional champions. National players have been on the scene since 1999 till date, they have history across each zones, boys, associates and structures, a local champion only have these in his region, outside he is as lowly as a ward chairman.
Atiku is a national player, headed PDM,played politics even during the millitary era when the likes of Tinubu was not even allowed to come into the compound when the likes of Pa Adeshina and Bola Ige were holding meetings. Not even Buhari can challange Baba Iyabo, if there was an out break of crisis across the country, world leaders wont call Bubari let alone Tinubu for updates, its the likes of OBJ and TyDanjuma they listen to. OBJ might not be able to install someone in the S/west, but nationally and internationally he can damage your image and destroy whatever goodwilll you have. You guys should keep decievibg your selves.

seriously i can't lie to you my brother, it is serious argument in my neighbourhood. someone still says that it is tinubu because of Ambode removal saga.

I think we can say its 50-50. Tinubu grew his own influence all by himself. And when people say its influence is only in the SW, just remind them that Tinubu single handedly un-sit Jonathan. So his influence in Nigeria politics has also grown beyond regional.

no doubt, with all said and heard. with all insults and appraisals. 2019 is here again. Atiku Would Win, Thats The Sole Reason Obasanjo Dumped Apc 4 Pdp Again.. If Tinubu Has So Failed To Deliver A President Since 1999 Till 2015 Wen Obj Rubbed Mind With Apc Afta Warning Jonathan Not To Contest In 2015 So That Power Cud Return To D North.

OBJ is more influential in the Global scene but Tinubu is more influential in the south west politics.

where Obj will enter, Tinubu with his money won't enter.

b4 2015 elections, Tinubu was just a local champion within the south west region. it was after helping Buhari Succeed that his popularity grew.

The North only appreciates him for helping their son become president, but OBJ has been active right from his military regime.

OBJ was one unbiased leader Nigeria ever produced. He has followers in the east, west,North and south.

Nobody send Tinubu for south east and south south o!

Obj will go to all regions and canvass for Vote, even without cash they will still respect him. He'll pick some from south west, some from east, north and south south. Tinubus machinery won't cover east and south south.

See it this way, IF Tinubu and Obj where to contest for elections, the outcome will be :

Tinubu :

south west - 60%
North - 30%
East - 5
south - 5

OBJ

south west - 40%
North : 30%
East : 20%
south : 10

South West is 0%

I guess some people on here have heard about a global group of 77 eminent and international statesmen including and not limited to just ex-presidents?.

The late Nelson Mandela was a member of the group before he passed away,Jimmy Carter is also a member,and same with Obj..All it takes to discredit any Nigerian government is for Obj to start his normal shenanigans of writing letters once he becomes uncomfortable with the government of the day,we saw him do this to Jonathan and those before him and we alll saw the effect..

Once Obj condemns a government then that governmt become a pariah in the comity of nations..


The only major thing counting against Obj till date is his botched 3rd term agenda..

The clear answer is Obasanjo, you have to have a peculiar bias to think otherwise.

But we must also take into account the fact that Obasanjo has taken a serious breather from local politics, so there is a tendency to think that Tinubu is more influential, after all he is active Baba iyabo is not.

Baba hasn't really been trying to pull much weight, except when he briefly tried to raise a candidate on the ADC platform. A platform he just endorsed and withdrew from.

Tinubu's influence, starts at Seme border and stops at Ojodu berger. It is now he is trying to extend his influence by installing candidates all through the southwest. That worked everywhere but Ondo, where Akeredolu rebelled and Ondo masses supported him.

There are those who try to suggest that Tinubu put Buhari in Aso rock. You need to be a special type of retard to think that; yes Tinubu was amongst those that seriously encouraged Buhari to run for office again after several failures but even the electoral results show otherwise.

Infact, Tinubu discovered how worthless he was, in the first 9months of Buhari's tenure, he was excluded from all and every significant event/decision within the core of the party. It took rambling over elections within the southwest for Him to regain relevance, hence his desperate bid to ensure he acts as kingmaker to all governors in the southwest. That way, he may be seen as a major southwest power broker, unfortunately no yoruba man likes to be dominated by another for no too long, if he pushes too much, rebellion will start and he will end up going the way of awolowo, if he doesnt take care..............

Much has been made of the fact that Obj cannot even deliver his ward. How is this even an argument?

Obasanjo enjoys some measure of international respect, agreed. That however doesn't translate to the needed votes. Obj will only be useful AFTER you have won elections and need to enter into international treaties or negotiations.

Let's not confuse the matter
Re: Obasanjo Vs Tinubu: Who Is More Powerful And Influential? by Halo22: 9:19pm On Oct 11, 2018
Tinubu might be influential to some extent, but for OBJ, he is a political institution. Only OBJ political body language can put the whole country into tension. GEJ case in 2015 is a pointer to that.
