Tinubu's journey to Aso Rock wasn't a fluke, it was a script that ought to be studied in Political Science. It's a game of Chess full of DELAYED GRATIFICATION.
Like him, hate him, you cannot deny that his #RoadToVilla was full of years of planning & connecting.
After overcoming "do or die politics" of Obasanjo when he was a Governor till 2007, nothing suggested that he was planning his route to Aso Rock. All he began to do was to assist others to get to places of Influence across the South & North. He expanded his political influence.
The merging of the main opposition parties to oust the ruling party in a democratic way in 2015 will forever be his badge of honor. How he made ACN so strong in d South enough to partner with Buhari's CPC in the North should be studied in political strategy. It was well planned!
If you ever thought that was no big deal, then come to 2022 & see how PDP the main opposition messed up the same opportunity of UNIFICATION..
PDP allowed Atiku to disintegrate their UNIFICATION.
Kwankwaso went to NNPP from PDP, Peter Obi went to Labour Party from PDP, then G5🤣
When he felt the coast was clear enough for him to emerge, he made that audacious declaration in 2022...EMILOKAN.
Like him, hate him, Tinubu put in the work for years taking the right steps & CONNECTING with the right people that would help him achieve his #RoadToVilla ♾♾

Atiku's greatest Miscalculation in my view is his INCONSISTENCY. Nobody could trust him.
Till date, no VP in the history of Nigeria is as powerful & Influential as Atiku. So, he's had his political base SET before becoming the VP to Obasanjo in 1999.
Every other move he made was in desperation of what he wanted but didn't plan for & I will explain my view on this.
He simply wanted to be Adamawa Governor as at 1999 before Obasanjo asked him to come and be his VP. How Atiku's ambition suddenly changed was his undoing.
If he had been Adamawa Governor, there's no way he would have been slogging Presidential ticket out with Obasanjo in 2003. He should have waited patiently to serve OBJ till 2007 knowing the ticket would shift to the North. But Atiku was destined to make wrong moves in chess game!
The previous methodology used by @NBS_Nigeria was based on the 13th International Conference of Labour Statistians..(ICLS)
The newly adopted methodology is based on the 19th International Conference of Labour Statistians..
What did they do wrong?
The OLD ICLS standard said age 15-64 must work for around 40 hours+ in a week to be tagged EMPLOYED, the new ICLS says gives little or no regard to number of hours before you can be tagged EMPLOYED...
Why are journalists in Nigeria crying about new methodology?
NOTE: Other Nations have been using what's now NEW to us & our Journalists love to quote those figures in comparison with Nigeria that uses Old methodology. Why are they against using the same standard to measure Apple in USA & Nigeria?🤣🤣🤣
What's the issue of argument?
In the history of Democracy in Nigeria & Africa, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been consistent when it comes to building bridges and negotiating just to help others to get to their desired Destination.
So how did he sell ACN/APC to others?
He was the only Governor who escaped the whirlwind of Obasanjo PDP in the South West. In 2007, Oyinlola was declared winner in Osun State in an election full of MULTIPLE THUMB PRINTING.
Unlike now that @inecnigeria BVAS brought FREE, FAIR & CREDIBLE election, it was tough then.
The only way Tinubu the Master Negotiator and strategist could expand the strength of ACN as the opposition party was to use the Legal framework in Nigeria to reclaim the Victory for the winner.
He didn't make noise, he simply relied on his team to get the mandate back. Listen👇
Hello @PeterObi,
Just saw this audio conversation...
See, the way the devil completely used you to ridicule the Church this season ehn, the pain you caused the body of Christ with your demonic divisive ways....
So, let's camp on this for a moment so as to PROBE further why the losers in 3rd position are demonizing the FREE, FAIR & CREDIBLE election @inecnigeria conducted in 2023.
Obidients agreed that election was FREE, FAIR & CREDIBLE where Candidate @PeterObi got 89.46% in a region🤣
2023 ELECTION: THE ACCEPTANCE OF TINUBU & THE REJECTION OF OTHERS
2023 General election will go down in history as the Fairest, Freest, and most Credible election in history after June 12 of 1993.
Only Tinubu had a clear pathway to victory in that election! #FreeFairCredible
Apart from setting Media narratives by the opposition & their media JUNKS, the available data shows that only Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was well ACCEPTED across Nigeria irrespective of Religion, Tribe or CLASS....
Others were widely REJECTED & the TOPOGRAPHY & DEMOGRAPHY of votes… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The acceptance of Asiwaju Tinubu was clear.
According to @AfDataWarehouse visualization dashboard which corroborated other platforms figures, about 23.5 million Nigerian voters decided this election among 4 leading candidates.
