Tinubu was smart: Things you should know about Tinubu.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has faced significant criticism in recent years. Some of the most popular criticisms against him include allegations of corruption and nepotism, as well as accusations of using his political power for personal gain. You could say that's why he said it is his turn to be President.

One of the main criticisms against Tinubu is that he is corrupt and has used his position of power to amass a significant fortune for himself and his family. While some Nigerians believe that he's there to save Nigeria, Tinubu may have preyed on their minds to achieve his lifelong dream.

Tinubu has used his influence to secure government contracts and other financial benefits for himself and his associates.

Tinubu is guilty of nepotism, using his political power to favor his family and friends over others. This has led to accusations that he is more interested in consolidating his own power and wealth than in serving the people of Nigeria.

Tinubu is also known for using his political power to silence his critics and suppress dissenting voices. This has led to concerns about a lack of freedom of speech and democracy in Nigeria under his leadership. The evidence is during the endsars protest where Tinubu and Sanwolu and the federal government couldn't prevent the use of live bullets against protesters.

Tinubu has also been a powerful Force that fosters ethnic and religious tensions in order to consolidate his own power and gain support from certain groups. This has led to concerns about the potential for increased conflict and instability in the country. These powerful corrupt politicians know that as long as there's ethnic and religious conflict, Nigerians won't be able to come together and defeat the common enemy: corrupt leaders.

Tinubu has also been criticized for his role in the recent political crisis in Nigeria. As a key figure in the ruling party, some have argued that he bears responsibility for the government's handling of the crisis and its response to the protests that have erupted in the country. #endsars

It's also worth mentioning that Tinubu has also been criticized for his role in Lagos State during his tenure as governor. Some have accused him of failing to address issues such as poverty, unemployment, and poor infrastructure in the state.

Additionally, Tinubu has been criticized for his role in the 2007 governorship election in Lagos State, which was marred by widespread allegations of electoral fraud and vote-rigging. Critics argue that Tinubu used his position as governor to influence the outcome of the election in favor of his chosen candidate.

Although, Bola Tinubu has played well in out-smarting Nigerians to believe he has a clean record in developing Lagos or Nigeria. Recently Tinubu's mental state may be on the decline as he continues to alter incoherent words during interviews and campaigns. Tinubu's health issue has raised a lot of questions that still need answers till date.

Despite these criticisms, Tinubu continues to enjoy significant support in Nigeria, and some see him as a powerful and influential figure in the country's politics. However, it is important to note that these criticisms should be taken seriously and investigated to ensure that the political process in Nigeria remains fair and just for all.
