It is no gainsaying that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has built for himself what you might call a political dynasty of sorts. His political sagacity and strength forged through the years is such that even his worst political foes and traducers cannot easily disrupt.
Having dependable allies not only shows his enormous strength as a political juggernaut but that has worked for him in virtually every political sphere.
Little wonder men and women, especially the discerning ones continue to accord to him a larger-than-life image of someone with a positive mindset armed with the courage of conviction to pursue any chosen cause for himself. Unassuming, yet unrelenting, he seems not deterred in his quest for acceptability which has become a topic being hotly debated in all circles.
His unflinching support for his friends, men and women alike gives him the unalloyed loyalty he enjoys within all circles. He has continued to attract more admirers to himself like ants to sugar because of his accommodating nature.
Indeed, Tinubu is a politician with a common touch who many love to hate but yet envied by the traducers because of his uncanny ability to navigate through all political labyrinths and come out unscathed.
Ask Obasanjo, Atiku and many more whose paths have crossed with Tinubu's; they all know this enigmatic political avatar. He is a man who surely understands the game of politics.
As the momentum gathers ahead of the 2023 polls, it is instructive to note that the hopeful contenders and pretenders to the exalted office need to study the Asiwaju Tinubu phenomenon. All said, you can only underestimate Asiwaju Tinubu at your own peril.
