Bakare Didn't Defend Tinubu; He Defanged Him. by MASTAkiLLAh(m): 6:44am On Dec 26, 2020
Pastor Tunde Bakare’s trending video on Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for which he is receiving caustic flak from the Nigerian online commentariat, isn’t the deodorization of Tinubu’s smelly underbelly that many people say it is. It is, on the contrary, an effective denunciation of Tinubu and a deep, lasting, strategic delegitimization of his “omo Eko” bona fides.


In the video, Bakare essentially mainstreamed reputationally deleterious information about Tinubu that had flourished on the fringes of Yoruba society, that people avoided to talk about openly in polite company, and that most people outside Yorubaland didn’t have the faintest familiarity with.

That information is that everything about Tinubu— from his very name to his claims of being from Lagos State, from his source of income to his parentage and many things in-between— is an elaborately fraudulent scheme.

Let me narrate an anecdote to illustrate what I mean. In the over two years that my column has appeared on the back page of the Saturday Tribune, I have cultivated a vast, engaged readership in the Southwest who reach out to me to share ideas with— and confide in— me.

One of the persistent requests I’ve received from readers of my column in the Southwest has been the invitation to delve into Tinubu’s well-layered, labyrinthine network of duplicity about his origins and identity.

A few people from his hometown of Iragbiji in Osun State offered to provide me with evidence that he is not from Lagos, that he is not from the Tinubu family in Lagos, that he was never named Bola Ahmed at birth, that he has avoided public association with his natal family in Iragbiji to sustain the fraud that he is from Lagos, and so on.

I told a particularly persistent interlocutor who wanted me to publicize what he thought was a scoop on Tinubu that I was already familiar with the information he had shared with me because I’d read most of it in Yinka Odumakin’s March 19, 2019 column titled “Dear Chief Tinubu.” Although the article went viral last year, the Iragbiji man said he hadn’t read it.

There were clearly several angles to explore about Tinubu’s vast and varied deception following Odumakin’s column, but I didn’t hop on it because, being a media law teacher, I knew it was a slippery legal slope. Although people of Iragbiji said Tinubu was born and raised in their town and has no connection with either Lagos or the Tinubu family, I can’t prove this in a court.

Similarly, although many people who knew Tinubu when he grew up in Iragbiji said he was known as Amoda Lamidi Sangodele, I can’t prove this in court. (Amoda is the Yoruba Muslim domestication of Ahmad and Lamidi is the Yoruba Muslim domestication of Abdulhamid.) And even though the current governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, is the son of Tinubu’s older sister—which calls to question Tinubu’s claims to being 69 years old since Oyetola is 67 years old—I have no DNA evidence to prove anything.

Of course, Tinubu can’t sue anyone who brings up his forfeiture of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the US government in the early 1990s in the aftermath of circumstantial evidence that he amassed tremendous wealth from trafficking in drugs. The court document of the forfeiture is in the public domain in the U.S. and was published by Sahara Reporters on September 15, 2008.

Nor can he sue anyone for saying that all the schools he claimed to have attended in his INEC his form in 1999—from primary school to university—are false because the late Gani Fawehinmi proved that in court and risked the social ostracism of the hegemonic political elites of the Southwest who now hypocritically valorize him posthumously.

Tunde Bakare has helped to not only centralize these and other odious aspects of Tinubu’s personality; he has also (unwittingly) granted public commentators the latitude to discuss them without fear of legal consequences. In media law, opinion writers have legal cover to comment on otherwise libelous subject matters if the subject matters are in the news and are of public interest. It’s called the fair comment privilege.

In Bakare’s political homily, he basically affirmed all the hitherto fringy whispers about Tinubu: that he is from Iragbiji in Osun State; that his current name is not his original name; that he has disowned his biological parents and “adopted” the Tinubu family of Lagos with whom he has zero consanguineal affiliation; that the late legendary Alhaja Abibat Mojaji of Lagos is not Tinubu’s biological mother; that he has an odious “past”; that he is corruptly “making money from taxation” by “exploiting the system to his advantage”; and that he is “transparently corrupt.”

These are not the sorts of issues Tinubu wants Nigerians to be discussing about him as he stealthily campaigns to be Nigeria’s next president and works to fend off ferocious, multifarious challenges to his grip on Lagos and Southwest politics.

He would much rather that people think of him as a Lagosian who is a scion of the famous Tinubu family, who has always been known as Bola Ahmed, and whose biological mother was the late Alhaja Abibat Mogaji.

Even though Bakare appears to be wracked by a dissociative identity disorder (which probably explains why he says and embodies mutually contradictory positions), megalomania (recall his boast that he would succeed Buhari because he is “number 16” while Buhari is “number 15”), delusion (anyone who claims God communicates with him is delusional), and compulsive mendacity, he is also a skilled rhetorician who is artfully defanging Tinubu, his political opponent, using a clever rhetorical tactic.

In rhetorical studies, there is a technique we call synchoresis, which is the intentional concession of an alternate point of view for the sake of refuting it. As rhetorical scholar Miles Coleman put it, synchoresis is the art of “conceding one point for the sake of another.”

Bakare intentionally disclosed and popularized unflattering facts about Tinubu’s life putatively to undermine them but, in reality, to mainstream them so they can be invoked to delegitimize him.

Notice that Bakare was stronger in channeling anonymous people’s claims that Tinubu is a fraud than in defending Tinubu’s fraud. For instance, his only defense against Tinubu’s fraudulent Lagos identity claim is that the truth of the claim won’t “put food on the table of the hungry or create jobs for the unemployed or the unemployable.”

That’s a weak strawman argument. No one said it would. The self-evident implication of that fraud, of course, is that if Tinubu isn’t straight with something as basic as his origins— and even his name and ancestral pedigree— why should he be trusted with something as grave as the presidency of a country of 200 million people? Anyone who can disown his parents, his name, his hometown, etc. for power and influence can sell anyone.

Bakare’s defense for Tinubu’s false claim to being the late Abibat Mogaji’s biological son (Bakare insisted on calling him her “adopted son”) was simply to state that no one is a “self-made” man and that given what the woman did for Tinubu, it was “not only proper, it is also honorable” for Tinubu to call her his mother. “Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu did not and could not choose his biological parents, yet no one can forbid him from choosing his role models or stop him from changing his name,” he added for emphasis.

Then Bakare brought Tinubu’s legendary corruption to the center of his congregants’—and, by implication, Nigerians’ consciousness— but feebly “defended” him by quoting him as saying he learned how to be “transparently corrupt” from Olusegun Obasanjo. How is that a defense, especially given that Tinubu and Obasanjo are not political associates, and Obasanjo, being a retired two-term president, isn’t hurt by any association with corruption?

In sum, every indication points to the conclusion that Bakare wanted to put Tinubu’s sordid deception about his origins—which people talked about in hushed tones in Yorubaland and about which most people outside Yorubaland are ignorant— in the forefront of the prevailing current of thought about him in Nigeria. The best way to do that without backlash was to appear to be censorious of the narrative while giving it publicity and currency.

What's the point of this silly article? Can't stand people always obsessed over the past when myriads of problems face us currently. It is Tinubu's ancestry that is now a PHD thesis for some?

The more this garbage goes on the more most Yorubas are becoming convinced we need to get out of Nigeria as there may be no way to live and develop in it alongside Northerners and other non-Yorubas.

All this puke-inducing and non-stop idiocy because the dishonorable and institutionally-inept born-to-rule North and the clannish, cowardly and disorganized SE both see Tinubu as the biggest threat to their unprincipled and rapacious ambitions.

It is time all Yorubas, regardless of religious or political affiliation, begin resisting this non-stop attack on Jagaban. What has the man done to the North that is destroying itself or the SE Igbos are abandoning in droves to move to SW because of leadership misrule?

Yorubas should think carefully. They rubbish Tinubu, to gain power, and they rubbish and rob all of us Yorubas .

The North will possibly desert APC for PDP in 2022 as Buhari's presidency winds down.
The SW APC knows this much and I trust they'll be restrategizing.

Bakare knows the game he's playing. He'll have to slug it out with Osinbajo and Fayemi.

Thank you. Those obsessed with him have pathetic lives, leaders and region also.

Northerners shamelessly angling to remain in power despite failing their people and Nigeria hideously. The North is now universally seen as a hotbed of terrorism and insecurity that may engulf Nigeria.

Or the SE with the most greedy and worthless misrulers in Nigeria who never believe in making Hay while the Sun shines only to show at the last minute demanding this and that.

Hate or like Tinubu, it is no longer about him. Issues are now an open attempt to ridicule and treacherously disenfranchise Yorubas.

Let Tinubu announce he is not running tomorrow and we will see the same group of detractors attacking him refocus their cannons on Osinbajo, Fashola or whoever the SW wants to present.

It is the big picture many ordinary Yorubas should focus on as our leader, from Obas to even PDP stalwarts like Fayose, show they are doing already.

Trust me, Tinubu will not abandon his ambition for any one or anything. Who has told serial presidential candidate Atiku to abandon his ambition? Buhari that tried several times before he won Nko? Or Kalu, Okorocha and co always flirting with a Presidential challenge?

Tinubu is a brave man and a man of destiny like Awolowo, Abiola, Sankara, Nkrumah etal. He will know tht all this effort to bully him out of the way is deliberate. Same was not done to others and I don't see anyone trying to intimidate Atiku out of the 2023 race.

Tinubu will not back down at the first stumbling block thrown in front of him. A day is a long time in politics and Tinubu knows this. A lot more has to happen to make Tinubu abandon an ambition he is entitled to work for. They did worse than this to PMB.

The North can and will certainly try to hijack the leadership and direction of the APC. They are myopic doing this because what they have done so far is already changing the dynamics and outlook of Nigerian politics for good.

Many Yorubas, including myself, backed APC and Buhari with all they had. Buhari has only gone on to convince us that Northerners are conservative, clannish and feudal in leadership ideology.

It is now becoming accepted mantra, especially after PMB was supported to be the game-changing Northerner, that Nigeria can never develop optimally under a Northerner.

If the Yorubas then don't get the chance to head and supervise a progressive period in Nigeria's history through a 2023 to 2031 Presidency ,that will lay the groundwork for every region and State to develop optimally, then we will find another way to achieve this as it is clear we Yorubas can't carry on like this i.e putting far more into Nigeria than we get out. Won't say more than that on a public forum.

Tinubu feels he has something to contribute as President. On his verifiable achievements and administrative record alone as a former Governor of Lagos which is by far the most challenging State in Nigeria to lead.

Putting aside the unsubstantiated gossip and ethnocentric idiocy most Nigerians love engaging in, I would agree.

Your question is therefore oxymoronic. If a political leader feels he has the ability to give more as a leader than others then why should he step down for less competent folks knowing that it is his nation, state and constituency that will suffer for his refusal to get involved and deliver for his people?

I have no respect for anyone trying to bully Tinubu out of the way. That action in itself is undemocratic and will only damage Nigeria long term.

Tinubu's governorship(under performance) in Lagos State cannot be used as a yardstick for his ascension to the post of a president!!! It will be erroneous to do that! Lagos was a mess under Tinubu (it's only his paid miscreants) that will argue otherwise

Even the military regime (Buba Marwa) was better and peaceful than that of Tinubu

Not to mention that of Fashola

I can see that you are frustrated and pained!

While people are calling out politicians that have failed them, you are bent on shielding a criminal who have left you in that state you are in because of the crumbs from his table to you!

The Northerners (Nigerians) called out Ganduje when he collected bribe stuffed in his babaringa!

South West (Nigerians) praised Fashola for his outstanding performance in Lagos State! It was so great that Lagos State became a blue print for development in Nigeria!

The SouthEast (Nigerians) openly disgraced Ike Ekweremadu when they felt he wasn't representing them well!

When Tinubu with the help of Lagosians fought one state political party during Obasanjo's administration, Nigerians were pleased

So why will anyone hate Tinubu What does the person stand to gain

While Fashola refused to accept life pension, Tinubu was collecting, in his usual camouflaged manner still applauded Sanwo for stopping it (no be eye service be that)

Bullion vans at his home, reasonable South westerners (Nigerians) condemned it but his paid miscreant called it hatred!

He forfeited money made from drugs abroad, and you want this kind of person to become the president

What moral right will he have to correct those into it Or will he institutionalize it the way he did thuggery in Lagos

Indeed. Is it then still democracy when there is an openly ethnocentric, distasteful and bullying clamour to force Jagaban out of the race whereas no one else faces similar?

Yorubas should really think. Others, especially Igbos, are saying Tinubu must not run.

Yet same people shouting to demarket Tinubu have no objection to Atiku, Kalu, Obi, Tambuwal, Kwankwaso, Umahi etal contesting.

Whereas Tinubu is by far superior to all those names as far as administrative talent, leadership innovation and vision is concerned.

The more you look at the opposition to Tinubu's candidacy the more you see fear of radical and progressive change (North) and undiluted ethnocentric hatred (SE).

Look around you and note African history. Sankara, Nkrumah, Awolowo and many others, visionaries ahead of their times, were frustrated similarly by enemies of progress.

Indeed. Is it then still democracy when there is an openly ethnocentric, distasteful and bullying clamour to force Jagaban out of the race whereas no one else faces similar?

Yorubas should really think. Others, especially Igbos, are saying Tinubu must not run.

Yet same people shouting to demarket Tinubu have no objection to Atiku, Kalu, Obi, Tambuwal, Kwankwaso, Umahi etal contesting.

Whereas Tinubu is by far superior to all those names as far as administrative talent, leadership innovation and vision is concerned.

The more you look at the opposition to Tinubu's candidacy the more you see fear of radical and progressive change (North) and undiluted ethnocentric hatred (SE).

Look around you and note African history. Sankara, Nkrumah, Awolowo and many others, visionaries ahead of their times, were frustrated similarly by enemies of progress.
