Tinubu is first real politician to become Nigeria’s president – PDP leader
Segun Sowunmi, former spokesman for ex-Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has declared President Bola Tinubu as the first true politician to ever ascend to the presidency of Nigeria.
In an appearance on TVC News, Sowunmi compared Tinubu’s political career with that of former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Muhammadu Buhari, and Goodluck Jonathan, claiming that none of them could be considered “real politicians.”
Sowunmi explained that while Obasanjo and Buhari were military men and Jonathan rose to power due to unforeseen circumstances, Tinubu’s success in politics places him in a unique position.

He stated: “Obasanjo and Buhari couldn’t call themselves politicians because they were soldiers. Jonathan couldn’t call himself a politician because he came in over the misery of others, but Tinubu is a politician.”
Sowunmi also spoke on the challenge faced by the opposition under Tinubu’s leadership.
“In the present dispensation of the APC, President Tinubu-led federal government, the first thing we need to accept and which we are accepting now is that our work is cut out for us,” Sowunmi added.
He concluded by stressing the need for fresh, quality minds to rethink the dynamics of democracy and opposition in Nigeria, especially in light of Tinubu’s political experience.
