43 days agoBola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu was born on 29 March 1952 in Lagos, Nigeria. From an early age, he showed signs of determination and leadership. He later traveled to the United States for his education, where he studied Accounting at Chicago State University and graduated with honors.
When he returned to Nigeria, Tinubu worked in the private sector, holding positions at major companies like Mobil Oil Nigeria, where his discipline and strategic thinking earned him respect.
But his passion was not just for business—it was for public service. In 1992, during Nigeria’s transition to civilian rule, he entered politics and was elected to the Senate. However, when democracy was cut short by military rule, Tinubu became one of the voices in the struggle for freedom, joining the pro-democracy group NADECO in exile.
With the return of democracy in 1999, Tinubu was elected Governor of Lagos State. Over his two terms (1999–2007), he transformed Lagos, laying the foundation for the state’s modern infrastructure, boosting its economy, and strengthening its internally generated revenue. Many credit him with setting Lagos on the path to becoming Nigeria’s commercial hub.
After his time as governor, Tinubu remained a powerful figure in Nigerian politics. He played a key role in merging several opposition parties into the All Progressives Congress (APC), which eventually ended the dominance of the ruling party in 2015.
In 2023, after decades of political influence, Bola Ahmed Tinubu achieved his long-time ambition when he was elected the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His campaign slogan, “Emi lo kan” (It’s my turn), became a symbol of his determination and resilience.
Today, President Tinubu is known as a master political strategist, sometimes called the “Jagaban of Borgu.” His story is one of persistence, survival, and ambition—rising from humble beginnings to become Nigeria’s leader.
