The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has said his most difficult battle ever in life is ousting an incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 gen­eral elections. Tinubu revealed this in an interview with senior editors at The Sun ahead of the Sun Man of the Year Award which the astute politician will be honoured in Lagos later today.


In his words, Tinubu during the interview said,“Presi­dent Jonathan’s battle was the toughest. When you are fighting the incumbent, it is tough. You had the chal­lenge of terrorism; you had a class that is divided and a nation that was almost moving from its focus of religious tolerance and di­versity to religious division. You had a system that had been corrupted beyond any­body’s imagination. People were being bombarded with money in Lagos. But you have to forget personal temptation”.


On how he engaged for­mer President Obasanjo on the political field, Tinubu said, “Obasanjo, during his time disobeyed court order on the disburse­ment of money for local governments in Lagos but you knew where he was coming from; you just had to be careful. That period was also a bit challenging. There are different situa­tions that you had to face with different strategies. But to unseat an incumbent president in Africa was the toughest battle. It was not easy".


On his role in politics as a politi­cal godfather, Tinubu further said “Godfather is not negative but godlords 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, Tinubu added that, “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.”

Yes boss u tried but much thanks goes to The Sensible Nigerians who were tired of corruption & cluelessness

Tinubu the imperial glutton capitalist. The BIGGEST LANDLORD in Africa, the grandmaster of corruption.

Selfish & greedy fellow.

jagaban 1 of africa

Jagaban & Lai have same calling, lying.

Hausa-Fulani oligarch, coupled with their Niger & Chad alien voters, supported by the under aged almajari votes from Kano, Katsina& Sokoto states unseated GEJ & nothing else.

He should not worry, we have just started the story.he will explain to generation of nigeeians how we got to this stage

The combination of Tinubu and Amaechi was Jona's worse problem.

Amaechi lost in his home state & region to PDP, Tinubu narrowly escaped defeat from PDP in his own region, the core North gave Buhari 11 out of his 15 million votes.

so in 2011 whom did the underaged voters vote for? Buhari or Jonathan? Besides some of those só called underraged voters were recruited by the PDP and they voted for Jonathan, or did they write any party on their foreheads? Shebi there are elections today? Get ready o, your whining just got worse from today, the supreme court has said só!

I'm looking at the wider picture which was my dream, the ousting of the evil PDP. Amaechi was the campaign manager of the election. His presence and that of Tinubu in campaign grounds motivated the electorates.

Nna abeg day don break, comot for Internet, go open your shop, political discuss with sound & logical reasoning is not your forte!!!!!

Did PMB not contest against IB in '11, why didn't he win then despite getting northern votes? So the NC & SW didn't count for 2015?

Drop unnecessary tribal & religious bias!

Bashorun Gaa. Omo akin more grease more victories to your CV JAGABAN.

While you were doing all these, I called you warlock and Remi witch, GEJ did not understand the formula, he kept basking in his stubbornness to OBJ. But now, you are a "political terrorist".

JAGABAN the undisputed talented hunter and a proven talent hunter!
The proverbial cat with nine lives who survives the turmoil of opposition politics through thick and thin over different epoch of administrations.
He was called names, abused, ridiculed and slandered through documentaries, advertorials and other media outlets yet he remained resolute. In the end he was begged by distractors for forgiveness, about to receive award from one of his sworn rival and won in every sides.
JAGABAN came, he saw and conquered!
