Lol Obasanjo supporting Buhari is just mere support and Obasanjo have no political weight in the SW in 2015 to Command vote for Buhari. Obasanjo can’t even win his own Ward let alone help Buhari win in the west.

Obasanjo just read the pulse of the nation and he saw that Buhari in 2015 is a tsunami and lent his voice. Not that I am removing his impact but he is not instrumental to the victory like Tinubu.

You can see Obasanjo was shamed in 2019 even after the letters he wrote coz Buhari was still re-elected, so Obasanjo is not that invincible.

Tinubu had control of the APC SW governors and they were the ones that worked effectively for Buhari in the West.

It’s only a novice that will say Tinubu impact on 2015 is not huge because the same Buhari have been contesting multiple times without breakthrough, he even at one time chose an Igbo as his vice and he lost woefully until Tinubu came with the merger.

They took him to Chatam house, financed his campaign, rebranded him in the media, won him the West and faced the federal might money bags for money bags. All thanks to Tinubu and some other politicians like Atiku and etc.

Edo elections have been won and lost. Tinubu is not a god, so why do you expect him to always have total victory everytime?

You’re right Tinubu isn’t the senate president but he is a strong politicians with tentacles than Saraki and success and respect in politics sometimes might not be associated to the status.

Ahmadu Bello was just a premier but he was far stronger then Balewa who was the prime minister then, infact you can say he is the political godfather of Balewa.

Tinubu installed the vice president, Speaker, lot of Ministers, his boys are governors of multiple states and etc. I don’t think Saraki can boast of a profile like this.

Infact as it stand today, Tinubu is the most notorious politician in Nigeria such that he alone is a source of revenue for the media and he is the most trending politician of this era.

Can you mention one Igbo man that has more political worthiness than Tinubu?

you see how you praised him to self embarrassment in Edo election. let me remind you that even among clergies with mass followership like Fr. Mbaka, Adeboye, Bishops and co and imams among others preached openly against Jonathan's re-election because there was incessant bombings and other related violence all over the north including against Churches and Mosques. I could remember Ezekwesili and Michelle Obama carrying placards to campaign bring back our girls (with regards to Chibok girls abduction) before the White House. I think it was Clinton also who came to Nigeria to preside over a meeting between Jonathan and Buhari (aspirant) at the build up of the election which was due to Obama's interest to remove Jonathan because he was not doing his bidding especially as it concerns gay marriage, etc. Obasanjo tearing his PDP membership card to show his disapproval of Jonathan's re-election was another biggest problem of that moment. So vividly, both Internal and external factors played against Jonathan's re-election but above all was his diplomatic and peaceful nature of not wanting to remain in Aso Rock at the expense of violence even when it was clear that INEC compromised by allowing underage children from Niger, Chad and North to get registered and voted. So where was Tinubu's personal profile apart from joining Buhari to protest against Jonathan's re-election like many others in the streets of Nigeria.

It's only you and your likes that see what you referred as political worthiness in Tinubu, a man who cannot engage in political language to convince people to vote against Obaseki but that self- ridiculed video he made against himself. And I keep asking, is Tinubu a politician? where lies his self-aclaimed political sagacity?
