Where is Bola Tinubu Now?. The answer to this question is what many people are desperate to know. In this article, we will talk about the current whereabouts of Bola Tinubu. Well, we all are no strangers to the name “Bola Tinubu.” The Godfather of Lagos, Tinubu, rose to prominence, fighting with his bare hands and building an empire from scratch. He has a major role in the prosperity and development of the city of Lagos. Lagos is what it is, majorly because of him. Tinubu single-handedly created the main opposition party in the prest Republic of Nigeria. He was perceived as the opposition figure and a Democrat who saved Nigeria from a one-party system. Tinubu is a Muslim and also is likely to run for president in the 2023 elections.
There is no denying the fact that he holds the record of being the lone star in Nigerian politics. In 2015 a documentary was made highlighting his political and financial grip on the Lagos state. However, Tinubu didn’t like it and filed an N150 billion libel suit against the producers. As a result, the documentary stopped airing on 6 March 2015. Tinubu is married to a third-term current-serving Senator from Lagos, Oluremi Tinubu. They both had a son who died due to a heart attack back in 2017. He was among the prominent politicians that worked towards the announcement of the M.K.O Abiola as the winner of the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election.
