Description
This treatise targeted at the trajectory of titanic and enigmatic Tinubu is worth reading for enlightenment, education and enquiry relating to the leadership – followership dyad within Nigeria’s context of politics and politicking. The man, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is so many things to many people. He is enigmatic and a mysterious phenomenon within the political landscape. In another perspective, to some set of people, he is a controversial political person of influence that possesses the capacity and capability to tilt the political equation to the favour of any side he supports, one way or the other.
Equally, to another set of political observers, analysts and opinion molders, Tinubu is the cerebral strategist that can give the opposition headache as the latter may not be able to decode his next sagacious cum strategic step. Succinctly and saliently stated, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu can be tagged as the seeming stormy petrel of party politics and politicking within Nigeria’s context.
In essence, treating his largely looming influence with levity may sound the death knell of any opposition at the polls. It is not as if Tinubu wins the game all the time. However, like a robust and rugged strategist that he is, he is wont to going back to the drawing board to assess the causal effect of failing in order to plot against such floundering and faulty step in the future. The merger of major opposition parties in February 2013 culminating in the founding of the current ruling party, the All Progressives Party (APC) was the brainchild of Tinubu and core chieftains of the parties involved in the historic merger that eventually pull the rug off the feet of the pompous People Democratic Party (PDP) that once proudly posited that it would be in the saddle for sixty years!
APC unseated PDP in the 2015 election and consolidated its hold onto power further in 2019. As 2023 presidential election beckons, all eyes are on the titanic Tinubu, as the APC presidential candidate, to take the baton of leadership from the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. This book traces and tracks the trajectory of the titanic Tinubu in accomplishing his life’s dream of sitting in the saddle in the Aso Rock – the throne.
