Bode DoluLeave a Comment on How Opposition Tinubu would treat President Tinubu, By Farooq A. Kperogi

You may resent Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but you can’t deny that he has earned his place in Nigerian political history as one of the, if not the, most consequential opposition figures in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.

Bode DoluLeave a Comment on Tinubu’s Abacha Tactics Against Opposition, By Farooq A. Kperogi

Although structural, political, and economic conditions appear to constrain any credibly concerted impediment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 reelection chances, at least from my admittedly imperfect reading of the auguries, Tinubu still seems so insecure that he is borrowing a leaf from former Head of State Sani Abacha, his arch enemy, to annihilate the […]
