Seyi Tinubu’s Father (Bola Tinubu)
Nigeria’s incoming president is Chief Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu, a politician and accountant from Nigeria who was born on March 29, 1952. From 1999 until 2007, he presided as the governor of Lagos State. During the brief Third Republic, he represented Lagos West in the Senate. Tinubu was born and raised in the southwest of Nigeria. After moving to the United States, he attended Chicago State University to study accounting. After moving back to Nigeria in the early 1990s, he worked as an accountant for Mobil Nigeria before entering politics in 1992 as the Social Democratic Party’s candidate for the Lagos West senate seat.
After the tyrannical Sani Abacha dissolved the Senate in 1993, Tinubu joined the National Democratic Coalition movement and started advocating for the restoration of democracy.
As a representative of the Alliance for Democracy, Tinubu won the first post-transition Lagos State governorship election with a sizable margin. He was elected to a second term four years later. He was instrumental in the creation of the All Progressives Congress in 2013 after leaving office in 2007. He was chosen to lead Nigeria as president in 2023.
Early life and education
Although it is widely acknowledged by trustworthy sources that Tinubu was born in Nigeria in 1952, his political opponents occasionally contest this date, claiming he is much older. Reliable sources point out that his age hasn’t been independently verified. He finished his undergraduate work in the US at Chicago’s Richard J. Daley College and Chicago State University. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the university in 1979.
Early career
At the American firms Arthur Andersen, Deloitte, and GTE Services Corporation, Tinubu held positions. He joined Mobil Oil Nigeria after arriving back in Nigeria in 1983, rising to the position of corporate executive.
Political career
When Tinubu joined the Social Democratic Party in 1991, his political career officially got underway. In the brief Nigerian Third Republic, he was elected to the Senate in 1992, representing the Lagos West district.
After the 12 June 1993 presidential election results were overturned, Tinubu joined the National Democratic Coalition, a group that rallied support for the return of democracy and the declaration of Moshood Abiola as the election’s victor. General Sani Abacha took over as the military’s head of state, and after he fled the nation in 1994, he returned in 1998 following the military dictator’s demise, which marked the beginning of the Fourth Nigerian Republic. Bola Tinubu was a protégé of Alliance for Democracy (AD) founders Abraham Adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo in the years leading up to the 1999 elections. After defeating Funsho Williams and Wahab Dosunmu, a former minister of works and housing, he went on to win the AD primary for the governor of Lagos State. He ran for governor of Lagos State on the AD platform in January 1999, and he won.
Governor of Lagos State
Tinibu started new road development throughout his eight years in office to fulfill the demands of the state’s rapidly expanding population. In April 2003, Tinubu was re-elected governor together with a brand-new deputy governor named Femi Pedro. In those elections, the People’s Democratic Party won every other state in the South West. He fought the federal government, which was then under the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo, over the issue of whether Lagos State had the right to establish new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) to accommodate its sizable population. The federal government confiscated cash intended for the state’s municipal councils as a result of the incident.
He participated in ongoing conflicts with PDP leaders like Bode George, the southwest PDP chairman, and Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former senator from Lagos State who had been appointed minister of works, during the later half of his stint in office. Femi Pedro, the deputy governor, announced his desire to run for governor, which caused tension between Tinubu and Pedro to worsen. On the eve of the party nomination, Pedro withdrew his name from consideration to run as the AC candidate for governor in the 2007 elections. He kept his job as deputy governor but switched to the Labour Party. On May 29, 2007, Tinubu’s term as governor of Lagos State came to an end, and the Action Congress’ Babatunde Fashola took over.
In 2006, Tinubu made an effort to persuade Atiku Abubakar, who was Nigeria’s vice president at the time, to lead his party, the Action Congress (AC). The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) member Abubakar recently had a disagreement with President Olusegun Obasanjo over Abubakar’s desire to succeed Obasanjo as president. With the understanding that he would serve as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate, Tinubu offered Abubakar the chance to join the AC and the chance to run for president on behalf of his party. Atiku declined the offer and, after joining the AC, selected Senator Ben Obi from the South East as his running mate. The PDP won the election handily, despite the fact that Atiku ran on Tinubu’s platform.
After the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) swept to victory in the April 2007 elections, Tinubu became involved in talks in 2009 to unite the dispersed opposition parties into a “mega-party” that could take on the PDP, which was in power at the time. With the merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and the new PDP (nPDP), a faction of the then-ruling People’s Democratic Party, into the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu was one of several politicians who created a “mega opposition” party.
In 2014, Tinubu backed General Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of the CPC faction of the APC and a former military head of state who had previously run for president in the CPC in 2003, 2007, and 2011. Buhari had a strong following in Northern Nigeria. Tinubu initially desired to run as Buhari’s running mate but ultimately relinquished the nomination to his ally and former justice commissioner Yemi Osibanjo. Buhari led the APC to victory in 2015, ending the PDP’s 16-year hegemony and making history as the first incumbent Nigerian president to lose to an opposition contender.
In place of his long-held reported presidential ambition, Tinubu went on to play a significant role in the Buhari administration by supporting government programs and maintaining control of the internal party structure. He endorsed Buhari’s reelection campaign in 2019, helping him overcome Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Following a party crisis in 2020 that resulted in the ouster of Tinubu ally and party chairman Adams Oshiomole, it is thought that the action was taken to undermine Tinubu’s chances of winning the presidency in 2023.
Elected President of Nigeria
Tinubu officially declared his campaign for president on January 10, 2022.
On June 8, 2022, Tinubu won the party convention vote for the governing APC with 1,271 votes, defeating Rotimi Amaechi and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who received 235 and 316 votes, respectively. Tinubu was proclaimed the victor of the 2023 presidential election by INEC on March 1st. After defeating his rivals with 8,794,726 votes, he was named president-elect. Atiku Abubakar of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) finished in second place with 6,984,520 votes. Peter Obi of the Labour Party received 6,101,533 votes, placing third.
Drug dealing allegations
As a result of a court lawsuit claiming that the US government had “probable cause” to believe Tinubu’s American bank accounts contained the proceeds of heroin smuggling, the US government froze his assets in 1993. Later that year, he reached a settlement with the government and forfeited about $460,000. Court records and subsequent coverage of the case revealed he collaborated with two Chicago heroin dealers.

Atiku Abubakar of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) finished in second place with 6,984,520 votes. Peter Obi of the Labour Party received 6,101,533 votes, placing third.
Alleged illegal operation of foreign accounts
The Federal Government summoned Tinubu before the Code of Conduct Bureau for trial in April 2007 after the general elections but before the governor-elect Babatunde Fashola had started office over the alleged illegal operation of 16 different offshore accounts.
Allegations of corruption
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission exonerated Tinubu, Delta State Governor James Ibori, and Akwa Ibom State Governor Obong Victor Attah in January 2009 of allegations of conspiracy, money laundering, abuse of power, and official corruption in connection with the 2004 sale of Vmobile network shares. There were rumors that the British Metropolitan Police were looking into a deal in which the Lagos State government invested in Econet (now Airtel) in September 2009. According to Tinubu, there were no middlemen involved in the uncomplicated transaction, which was profitable for the government. The Federal Government denied Britain’s request for access to information needed for additional investigation and prosecution of the three former governors of Nigeria before a London court.
Possibility of a plan to kill Tinubu
There were rumors that Tinubu will be killed in a plan in March 2009. The Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, was urged to carry out a comprehensive investigation by the Alliance for Democracy.
