He has paid his dues. He single handedly ensured the survival of the opposition in Nigeria when the PDP tsunami of 2003 swept across the South West. Dude ensured Lagos didn't fall and from then launched a campaign that would see to the recapturing of the SW, ultimately resulting in what we have today.

Tinubu is no saint, but you just gotta respect his political astuteness. Hell of a sage.

OZAOEKPE:

You need to upgrade the version of your reasoning, its too ancient. don't call daddy to ban me son, learn to be a man with a thick skin

HalfTruth:


Reason like a man. Why do you disagree with his post?

Instead of calling daddy, he needs to call mommy to change your diapers.

You see what I said about where their strengths end??

That one don dey follow me for like a week like fly dey follow pikin wey shit for pant. just go to his timeline and see the number of times he's mentioned me, even on totally irrelevant occasions.

The other time he got so frustrated he simply wrote "I hate you".

The tin wey dey pain am pass na how I ignore am like Baba does to Fayose- my own nairaland equivalent of diverting one's calls.

I am full apc brand supporter, but, i will disown dino the day he apologises to that ashawo, kogites are not cowards.

Lmaooo You sure he doesn't have a crush on you?

Knowledge9000:
I don't think he is powerful is just that Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani tend to be very demure and respectful to someone in their societies who has risen above board notwithstanding if he or she is right or wrong...they will be loyal to that person. The cultural reverence that come with the throne of Obas, Onis and Emirs also makes it easier for them to control the people. With Igbos...it's impossible as they are not used to having powerful people! Igbo society is naturally and culturally an egalitarian society....everyone is equal! Have you heard of a powerful Igbo man before? Lol. The only way you will be powerful to Igbos is if you are fighting for their freedom...as in Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu, then you are talking otherwise you are just an ordinary person no matter your wealth and political clout.

HalfTruth:


Ibos have no power. They're mute cowards.

Knowledge9000:
Yoruba...Igbos are not your mate. If you/yoruba are man enough...agree to separation and you will know who Igbos are.

raumdeuter:


WHy would any man be seeking another mans agreement to do what he wants? If you are man enough you go ahead, relocate everyone back to your region and secede. Its only effeminate wrapper tying men who seek another mans approval before doing what he desires

Knowledge9000:
We will not relocate for you lazy poos to reap where you didn't sow. We shall continue to own properties, businesses and even more in SW just as the Jews own properties and businesses in Europe, America, Asia, Australia and Africa.

Firstly, he was the only southwest governor that survived the "umbrella revolution" of 2003. Others like Bisi Akande, Lam Adesina, Segun Osoba, couldn't secure a second term nod. So being the only AD governor then made him so popular.

Furthermore, as at the time when people think Jagaban would bow for Obasanjo's pressure, he held his ground and he was steadfast with his progressive ideology.

Not that alone, Tinubu was able to nurture and finance AD (which later turned AC and then ACN) for a one state party in 2003 to a party that controls 6 states and then forming a formidable opposition against the then ruling party in 2011.

While spreading his political tentacles, I think a major factor that has been helping him is the fact that he will never support mediocrity at the expense of merit. He has the best brains as far as politics of naija is concerned. Fashola, Fayemi, Amobode, Muiz Banire, Abiola Ajimobi, Fowler, Abike Dabiri, Femi Gbajabiamila, Aregbesola, Jide Omoworare, Ibikunle Amosun etc. The list is just endless. I think Asiwaju is not just developing himself, he is grooming other young boys. This will make him so relevant for long.

The expensive, exclusive areas of Lagos have Houses and plots predominately owned by the Igbos.
