6. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The Jagaban of Borgu, as he is fondly called, is arguably the most powerful politician in the country at this moment.
The former two-term governor of Lagos state and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), almost single-handedly oversaw the ouster of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 general elections and has attained a legendary status in the country (especially among Yorubas) ever since.
But, then, he has been plagued with series of controversial allegations.
Many believe that he has many skeletons in his cupboard, but then he has never been convicted of committing any corrupt act.
He remains one of the shakers of Nigeria’s economy and about the greatest decision maker in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) despite the fact that he is only a national leader of the party.
Some Nigerians even believe that he is as strong as President Buhari or even stronger.
