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

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.

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.

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.

I understand he was once a Senator of the FRN and a former Governor of Lagos State. However, he isn't the only one to have occupied such positions.

Jonathan was a Governor and also a president. Yet, i don't think that he is as powerful as Tinubu. Since Johnathan left office, he rarely makes the news headline.

Ahmed Tinubu controls today's senate despite not holding any political office. This is evident by the way he unsettles the Senate President and his Vice(na Melaye say na him dey on top of their matter o).

Anyone knows the reason behind Tinubu's power?

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.

raumdeuter:


In one mouth you say Yorubas are not letting you go, In the other post you are saying you would not relocate.

Is anyone more confused than you lots? We know you are scared of moving back to your cursed land, a land so barren that its red, a land so cursed that its people flee from it, A land that eats its people, A land where the inhabitants cannot excel unless they flee elsewhere.

Its not our fault, go and beg your chi to bless your land. I think its women that tie wrapper, I also know confused men with no cojones also tie wrapper. Do you also wear bra and lipsticks?

Rhoyall:
Shut da Bleep up. Kogites are you wife beaters, kogites are not thug,they are not uncouth. We are respectful people.

He is using the oldest political trick in Nigeria which is
"he who controls the peoples stomach controls their lives"

Izonpikin:
tinubu is who he is because of robots like you in lagos. ..slaves....gullible educated people...
