Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu
Tinubu spent his early life in southwestern Nigeria and later moved to the United States where he studied accounting at Chicago State University. He returned to Nigeria in the early 1990s and was employed by Mobil Nigeria as an accountant, before entering politics as a Lagos West senatorial candidate in 1992 under the banner of the Social Democratic Party. After the military head of state Sani Abacha dissolved the Senate in 1993, Tinubu became an activist campaigning for the return of democracy as a part of the National Democratic Coalition movement.
In the first post-transition Lagos State gubernatorial election, Tinubu won by a wide margin as a member of the Alliance for Democracy. Four years later, he won re-election to a second term. After leaving office in 2007, he played a key role in the formation of the All Progressives Congress in 2013. In 2023, he was elected president of Nigeria.
Background
Tinubu was born in Lagos into the merchant family of Abibatu Mogaji, the Ìyál'ọ́jà of Lagos. He is generally accepted in reliable sources to have been born in 1952;[2] this year of birth is sometimes disputed by political opponents, who argue that he is much older. Some reliable sources note that his age has not been verified.[3][4]
Education
Tinubu attended St. John's Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan.[5] He completed undergraduate studies in the United States, first at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago and then at Chicago State University. He graduated in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting.[6]
Professional career
Tinubu worked as an accountant for the American companies

2007 general election
In 2009, following the landslide victory of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the April 2007 elections, Tinubu became involved in negotiations to bring together the fragmented opposition parties into a "mega-party" capable of challenging the then ruling PDP.[25] In March 2009, there were reports that a plot had been identified to assassinate Tinubu.[26] In February 2013, Tinubu was among several politicians who created a "mega opposition" party with the merger of Nigeria's three biggest opposition parties – the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the new PDP (nPDP), a faction of the then ruling People's Democratic Party[27] – into the All Progressives Congress (APC).[28]
All Progressives Congress
In 2014, Tinubu supported former
Tinubu went on to play an important role in the Buhari administration, supporting government policies and holding onto the internal party reins, in lieu of his long-held rumored presidential aspiration.[32] In 2019, he supported Buhari's re-election campaign defeating the PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar. In 2020, following an internal party crisis which led to the removal of Tinubu ally and party chairman Adams Oshiomole, it is believed the move was to scuttle Tinubu's presidential prospects ahead of 2023.[33]
2023 presidential election
On 10 January 2022, Tinubu made his formal announcement of candidacy for president.[34][35][36] On 8 June 2022, Tinubu won the party convention vote of the ruling APC, scoring 1,271, to defeat Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Rotimi Amaechi who scored 235 and 316 respectively.[37]
On 1 March 2023, INEC declared Tinubu winner of the 2023 presidential election.[38] He was declared president-elect after he polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat his opponents.[39] His runner-up Atiku Abubakar of the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) polled 6,984,520 votes. Labour Party's Peter Obi had 6,101,533 votes to come third.[40]
Presidency (2023–present)
Tinubu constitutionally began his presidency on 29 May 2023. He was sworn in as President of Nigeria by the
Tinubu in his inaugural address promulgated the removal of the government subsidy on fuel.[45] The statement in his inaugural address caused initial panic buying and an overnight increase in prices at fuel pump stations in Nigeria.[46] The national labour union NLC called for nationwide strike and protests over the increase in fuel price, which was later called off amidst ongoing negotiations with government representatives.[47] The government subsidy on fuel consumption has caused a haemorrhage on the Nigerian public purse for decades and the removal was lauded as a positive development by the World Bank for the Nigerian economy.[48]
On 29 May 2023, Tinubu ended the costly subsidy of fuel that had previously existed in Nigeria, bringing privatization to the petroleum industry of Nigeria. The subsidy had cost the Nigerian government $10 billion per year at the time it was finally ended by Tinubu.[49]
President Tinubu on the night of 9 June suspended
On the back of his suspension, the apex bank five days later on 14 June removed all foreign exchange trading restrictions and allowed the national currency to fall to its lowest ever on the market.[59] The move, though not unprecedented, signalled what was expected after the suspension.[60] Tinubu's financial reforms has been seen as surpassing the 1986 SAP regime in a bid to drastically overhaul the Nigerian economy and government finances since the return of democracy two decades prior.[61][62] On 15 June, President Tinubu inaugurated the national economic council chaired by Vice President Shettima.[63] The Council is mandated to advise the President on economic affairs and is composed of the governor of the central bank and all state governors of the federation.[64] Tinubu's close associate investment banker Wale Edun is the monetary policy czar.[65]
President Tinubu appointed on 3 June Senator George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff to the President.[66] Tinubu suspended the EFCC chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa on 9 June and Nigerian secret police arrested him for abuse of office on the same day following a standoff between SSS agents and the EFFC in Lagos.[67][68] His suspension like Emefiele's involved a lot of intrigues as Bawa had previously placed Tinubu under investigation.[69] Bawa was replaced with Abdulkarim Chukkol as acting chairman of the EFCC.[70]
President Tinubu on 19 June proclaimed Mallam
Tinubu embarked on his first foreign visit as Nigerian president to Paris on 21 June to attend a global financial summit held at Palais Boignart from 22 to 24 June.[76] He left Paris for London on a "private visit" where he met with his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari.[77] Tinubu despite drastic changes in fiscal and monetary policies has yet to constitute his cabinet.[78] He has made calls for a coalition government in order to bring opposition leaders under him.[79] A constitutional amendment passed by his predecessor made provisions for the President to appoint Ministers within the first sixty days in office. Tinubu dissolved the boards of all ministries, departments and agencies of Nigeria on 19 June.[80] Having spent one month in office and with the conclusion of parliamentary leadership elections Tinubu is constrained by law to send ministerial nominations to the Senate for hearing before July 29.[81]
In August 2023, he advocated for military intervention into

Allegations of corruption
In 1993, his assets were frozen by the United States government as a result of a court case asserting that the American government had "probable cause" to believe Tinubu's American bank accounts held the proceeds of heroin dealing. He settled with the U.S. government and forfeited about $460,000 later that year. Court documents and later reporting on the case suggested he worked in league with two Chicago heroin dealers.[99][100][101]
In April 2007, after the general elections, but before the governor-elect Babatunde Fashola had taken office, the Federal Government brought Tinubu before the Code of Conduct Bureau for trial over the alleged illegal operation of 16 separate foreign accounts.[102]
In January 2009, the
During the 2019 election, a bullion van was seen entering Tinubu's residence on Bourdillion Road in Ikoyi, which caused him to later exclaim: "I keep money anywhere I want."[106]
