I Think people are confusing "influential" with the word popular. If we are talking of influential, in the strict sense of the word, then it is Tinubu and "the rest" as Edogirl2 stated. What Tinubu has achieved in the past 8 years is phenomenal and unmatched. He retrenched the PDP from the SW and created an entire political dynasty of leaders like Fashola, Aregbe, Fayemi, Ajimobi, Amosun et al. He worked tirelessly for the formation of the APC and outwitted the PDP at every step of the way. Tinubu is the ultimate kingmaker and the most intellectually sagacious politician in Nigeria. No other has matched the achievement of Tinubu in Nigeria's post 1999 politics. As an example to put things in perspective, Atiku was a founding father of the ACN along with Tinubu. While Atiku ran from pillar to post seeking whatever he felt would make him President, Tinubu sagaciously and single-handedly built the ACN into a formidable Party that would go on to produce 5 out of the 6 Governors in the SW. In the process Tinubu, with no political position, outwitted and out-manoeuvered very powerful politician and office-holders like OBJ, Gbenga Daniel, Dimeji Bankole, Alao-Akala, Segun Oni, Oyinlola et al. The ACN went on to merge with others to form APC and Tinubu remains probably the most influential politician in the Party to the extent he got his candidate for Lagos (Ambode) over the line ahead of that of Fashola and got his choice (Osinbajo) nominated as VP candidate to Buhari. Tinubu was also responsible for getting all SW Governors to deliver unanimous delegate votes that saw Buhari emerge the APC candidate easily. That is grade A political 'influence' that is not to be confused with popularity. 16 Likes 1 Share |

I Agree, but with a little ammendment. Good you put Ashiwaju Tinubu at the top of this list. Others are iroko trees but Tinubu is a Shrub. Muhammadu Buhari and Akpabio will make my list and I will remove Clark |

Abeg are you people talking about the most influential politicians in APC or what? Tinubu indeed!!! Wé Saw How influential he was during the ondo and ekiti gubernatorial polls. That man's influence ends in Lagos and even that Jimmy Agbaje would soon bring that to an end .Let me see How He will save Ajimobi from defeat come April 11 . Buhari is influential yet PDP has been ruling his state since 1999.CPC inspite of all thé noise only managed to win just 1 state. Thé illiterate himself is about to enter thé guiness books of record for presidential election defeat .So much for influence |

I can't even wait for the elections to be over so that all this yeye propagandas can come to an end. Tinubu this, Tinubu that how many elections did he win? Why don't you put injustice Salami first on that list as he was responsible for the ascension to office of Fayemi and Aregbesola and not Tinubu. What is an inconsequential inbred like Obj doing on that list? The man lost elections even in his own ward and could not even secure a mere senatorial seat for his daughter. Tinubu is influential in Lagos just as Peter Obi is in Anambra or James ibori is in delta |

Justfollowit: Ar u always dis clueless?. It is eediotic beliefs like dis dat create problems in our polity. Pls show some respect to d Asiwaju. Asiwaju is a revered leader of lagos state & indeed nigeria whose achievements 4 our country is legendary frm d dark days of d struggle 4 democracy. He transformed d city of lagos thru visionary leadership inspite of spirited attempts by OBJ's govt to cripple his administration. He put in place a succession process which threw up d indefatigable governor of lagos state, Raji Fashola. Tinubu is instrumental to d deepening of democracy in nigeria by scuttling d ambition of d dysfunctional PDP to turn Nigeria into a one-party hegemony. He was also one of d leading lights in d struggle 4 democracy in nigeria. History will be kind to dis patriot. 2 Likes |
