Tinubu is by far the most powerful and influential.
His influence, which contrary to popular opinion runs much deeper than the southwest, is even more remarkable in the sense that he has never been in any office at the national level unlike the likes of most others on the list. Obi and Wike are mostly popular (?powerful ) in their regions

Mostly all politicians have powers, one way or the other. But, when you say powerful politicians, it means politicians with powers outside politics - that's Tinubu..

Even Obj knows for sure..

Around the world, the most powerful politicians are seen as the most corrupt. It's different when U talk about the best leaders. The most powerful politicians do not in anyway add anything good to a country, so I will say, it's a waste of time.

That's the most influential. Obi and Kwankoso are not exactly powerful, they are very influential.

Same with Buhari, influential.

Wike is powerful, meaning he uses his powers to force people against their will.

Tinubu is corrupt because he uses money to buy others to his side.

OBJ is powerful because he was one time head of state, but not influential because he couldn't influence the voters in his community.

Wike, Abacha are the same.

Tinubu, Danjuma are the same.

Obi, Kwankoso, Buhari are the same.

For the rest they have little from here and there.

Yea, powerful politicians are most times hated by some, for example Putin, George Bush, Abacha, Wike.

U can't put Abraham Lincoln as powerful but he can be influential.

I think is not wike that is powerful bt the seat of Rivers state Governor. For example Joe Biden at the moment is more powerful than Obama and trump because of his office. What wike is doing now amaechi and odili did it. Wike Is more prominent because of his memes and social media age. Let's wait until wike leaves that office then you go see him real self.

Well said, can't agree less.

Obi is currently the most influential personality in Nigeria, Buhari, Kwankwoso will follow him closely..

Wike is power mis road, he will be very useless after this year.
