Since taking office in 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been accused of running Nigeria like his personal empire—just as he did with Lagos for over two decades. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Many Nigerians now ask:
🔴 Is Tinubu monopolizing Nigeria’s political and economic space?
🔴 Why is his government allegedly making secret payments to his allies?
🔴 Is he grooming his son, Seyi Tinubu, to become the next Lagos governor?
The signs are too strong to ignore, and the facts speak for themselves. Let’s dive in! 👇
🔍 How Tinubu Captured Lagos—A Model for Nigeria?
For over 20 years, Tinubu has controlled Lagos like his private business empire. No governor has emerged without his approval, and he has a firm grip on both the economy and politics of the state.
📌 1999-2007 – He was Lagos governor.
📌 2007-2015 – Installed Fashola as governor.
📌 2015-2019 – Installed Ambode, then removed him.
📌 2019-Present – Installed Sanwo-Olu as his loyalist.
Now, his Lagos-style dominance is creeping into national governance! 🚨
🔥 Signs Tinubu is Monopolizing Nigeria
1️⃣ Installing His Loyalists in Key Positions
Since becoming president, Tinubu has:
✅ Appointed former Lagos politicians to top government roles.
✅ Placed long-time loyalists in finance, security, and economic sectors.
✅ Ensured APC’s top leadership is filled with his people.
👉 Example: Finance Minister Wale Edun, Works Minister David Umahi, and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu—all Tinubu loyalists.
Is this governance or a political takeover? 🤔
2️⃣ Rewarding His Business Associates with Government Contracts
Just like in Lagos, Tinubu’s government is allegedly:
✅ Giving juicy contracts to his associates.
✅ Making secret financial deals benefiting Lagos-based billionaires.
✅ Favoring private interests over national progress.
👉 Example: The fuel subsidy removal allegedly benefited certain oil companies linked to his allies.
Are Nigerians paying the price for Tinubu’s political network? 🚨
3️⃣ Weakening the Opposition & Controlling Political Structures
Tinubu is silencing opposition voices and making sure APC remains in power indefinitely.
📌 APC’s leadership is now fully under his control.
📌 The judiciary is allegedly under pressure from his government.
📌 Opposition figures face increased scrutiny and political attacks.
This is the same power playbook he used in Lagos, where no strong opposition exists.
🛑 The Shocking New Accusation: Tinubu’s Government Secretly Paying “Powerful” Individuals?
Recent reports suggest that Tinubu’s government has been making secret financial transactions, possibly as a strategy to consolidate power.
🔴 Who is being paid?
🔴 Are these payments for loyalty?
🔴 Is Nigeria’s economy being used to fund Tinubu’s political empire?
💡 If true, this could mean national resources are being used for political control rather than economic development.
👀 Is Tinubu Grooming Seyi Tinubu as Lagos’ Next Governor?
A new political dynasty might be unfolding before our eyes!
✅ Seyi Tinubu, Tinubu’s son, is being positioned as a major power broker in Lagos politics.
✅ He plays an active role in state affairs despite holding no official political office.
✅ Many insiders suggest that he is being quietly prepared to take over as Lagos governor in 2027.
👉 Why This Matters: If Seyi Tinubu becomes governor, it would mean that Tinubu is not only monopolizing Lagos but also establishing a political dynasty—ensuring his family’s continued grip on Nigeria’s wealthiest state.
🚨 Will Lagosians allow this?
🚨 What Does This Mean for Nigeria?
If Tinubu successfully monopolizes Nigeria, here’s what we might face:
🔴 Weakened democracy – Only Tinubu’s candidates will hold power.
🔴 Economic manipulation – National resources will benefit his allies first.
🔴 Zero accountability – Decisions will be based on loyalty, not merit.
🚨 Nigeria could become a one-man-controlled state, just like Lagos!
🛑 Final Verdict: Is Tinubu Nigeria’s New Political Emperor?
All signs suggest he is building a personal empire—one that could last for decades if unchecked.
❓ Will Nigerians allow Tinubu to monopolize power?
❓ Will Seyi Tinubu be Lagos’ next governor, cementing a political dynasty?
❓ And what do the secret payments mean for Nigeria’s future?
