Weaknesses

Here are our hypothesized shortcomings to Ahmed Bola Tinubu presidential aspiration:

Age: Born on March, 1952, Ahmed Bola Tinubu is 70years as of the time this article is being composed. Many have contended that Tinubu is really more established than 70years as his name and time of birth have been modified threefold on Wikipedia. With the official flagbearer being envisioned by quite a few people as a man whose wellbeing ought not be connected to the round of legislative issues.

Godfatherism: Tinubu has been widely perceived as the “Jagaban of Lagos”. His role in calling the shots of the uber city-state was uncovered in The Lion of Bourdillion, a 2015 narrative film featuring his political and monetary hold on the city-state. Tinubu recorded a N150 billion slander suit against the makers, AIT, and the narrative quit circulating on 6 March 2015 with an out of court settlement/grasping between the two players.

Corruption: In January 2009, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission cleared Tinubu of charges of conspiracy, money laundering, abuse of office and official corruption in relation to a sale of V-mobile network shares in 2004.  Nevertheless, the new recent viral videos of Bullion vans seen entering and leaving Tinubu bequest during primaries have added more fuel to the already burning flame.

 Strengths

Rich Political Experience: As a previous governor and ‘Jagaban’ of Lagos state, Ahmed Bola Tinubu have a stockpile of abundance in relation to knowledge pertaining governance on his disposal. He has a rich political foundation that stretches as far back as second republic. This knowledge of the game of politics was evident especially in the party primaries as all could see and authenticate the game in flawlessness.

Persistence: Otunga Daniel portrayed Tinubu as a hounded warrior who knows his onions and will take measures to accomplishing his essential targets. As would be natural for him ‘the Bola Tinubu that I know is an essential scholar, an extraordinary organizer and an efficient character, which are the qualities that have worked for him in governmental issues as well as in his business and social connections.”.
