Former governor of Lagos State and ACN chieftain, Bolaji Tinubu is a family-based democrat. He believes and practices democracy provided the beneficiaries are members of his family:- his wife, Remi Tinubu is the ACN nominee for Lagos Central senatorial seat; his daughter, Sade Tinubu is the ACN nominee for Agege Constituency in Lagos State House of Assembly; his son in-law, Oyetunde Ojo is the ACN nominee for a House of Representative seat while his wife's elder sister, Lola Akande is also a ACN nominee for a Lagos House of Assembly seat. It was on these terms that Lagos State governor Fashola was endorsed for a second term by Tinubu and any person with any objection was advised to leave the party and seek his fortunes elsewhere. Icheoku asks what manner of a democrat is this Bola Tinubu; except that he is not alone in this their selfish "all for me and nothing for others" type of democracy as practiced in Nigeria as Olusola Saraki of Kwara State shares similar character traits with him - his daughter Gbemi has to be governor following after his son Bukola who will be termed out as governor of the same Kwara State; go figure?
