In a viral post sighted on the X platform on Sunday, key political leaders from the region reflected on the pivotal role they played in the political rise of President Bola Tinubu.

Osoba, during the assembly, underscored the strategic decision taken by South West leaders in 2007 to elevate Tinubu from state-level politics in Lagos to the national political arena.

“Bola didn’t make himself the President of Nigeria; we did,” Osoba said.

“Seventeen years ago, in 2007, after his tenure as the governor of Lagos State, we gathered at a luncheon organized by Alhaji Hamsa, our leader in the South West at that time.
