''if You Call Me A Godfather, It Is Alright'' - Bola Tinubu by olokeded: 5:05pm On Feb 20, 2016
Bola Tinubu National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC says it is alright to call him godfather.


Defending his role in Lagos politics as a political godfather, Tinubu said “godfather is not negative but god lords are. They are the mafias. Godfathers exist even in the church. If you call me a godfather, it is alright. I have many children everywhere.”

Explaining his position further, he said “You are talking about imposition in a democracy. If you are a strong adviser, you would get blackmailed; you have seen great qualities in an individual and one that has capacity to do good; you identify those you believe can deliver on the evolution of good governance. I have a responsibility to recommend. My party has a right to reject the person. When I identified Babatunde Fashola, some people shouted imposition but when he started to blossom like flowers in the garden, Fashola now became their child. The umbilical chord is buried and the baby has survived. In democracy, sometimes, you have the sprinkle of dictatorship too when you know that you are working on the overall interest of the people. You have facts that some people do not have; so you do not get angry.”
