He went to St. John’s Primary School in Aroloya, Lagos and to Children’s Home School in Ibadan. After that, Tinubu went to Chicago, Illinois in 1975 to receive his secondary education at the Richard J. Daley College. This granted him an opportunity to study at the Chicago State University, where in 1979 he received his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

Until 1983, Tinubu has been working for various companies in the United States, such as GTE Services Corporation and Deloitte. After returning to Nigeria, he started working at Mobil Oil Nigeria and later became an executive at this company.

In 1992, he began his career as a politician, when he was elected to the Nigerian Senate. After the annulment of 1993 Presidential elections, he became one of the creators of National Democratic Coalition. But shortly after that he left Nigeria for 4 years, until his return in 1998.

<img class="size-full wp-image-650328 td-animation-stack-type0-1 aligncenter" src="https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-1.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px" srcset="https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-1.jpg 743w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-1-300x203.jpg 300w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-1-696x472.jpg 696w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-1-619x420.jpg 619w" alt="biography of Bola Tinubu" width="743" height="504" /> In 1999 he was elected as Executive Governor of Lagos state and was reelected for the same position in 2003.

Fun facts and controversies <img class="size-full wp-image-650327 td-animation-stack-type0-1 aligncenter" src="https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-2.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" srcset="https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-2.jpg 800w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-2-768x480.jpg 768w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-2-696x435.jpg 696w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-2-672x420.jpg 672w" alt="biography of Bola Tinubu" width="800" height="500" /> ♦ Two years ago, rumors started circulating about Bola Tinubu’s health. Some claimed that he has been battling something resembling Parkinson’s for more than a decade. He also had to take an urgent trip to the United States that many thought it was health-related. Although, upon his return, Tinubu disproved those rumors, claiming that he was in good health.

♦ As if to prove the previous point further, this happened. In March of 2017, it was announced that Tinubu was to spar in a boxing match against Evander Holyfield, former World Champion in heavy weight. The match was a charity event that was intended to attract international attention to numerous problems of the African continent, especially serious diseases in children.

<img class="size-full wp-image-650326 td-animation-stack-type0-1 aligncenter" src="https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-.png" sizes="(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px" srcset="https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu-.png 756w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu--300x159.png 300w, https://madailygist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/biography-of-Bola-Tinubu--696x369.png 696w" alt="biography of Bola Tinubu" width="756" height="401" /> The 54-year-old former champion and 65-year-old former governor were supposed to fight on May 24. But when the date of the match rolled in, Tinubu didn’t show up! Even though a lot of people thought Asiwaju got too scared, he has issued an official apology, where he stated that he had some “national assignment” to take care of.

♦ Despite only being the National Leader of the APC, some people claim that Bola Tinubu has become much more than that. It has been said that he tells the current President, Muhammadu Buhari, what to do. He also has an unofficial status of the nation’s untouchable grandfather.

♦ In addition to the accusations mentioned above, his untouchable status becomes more obvious, if you consider this. The authorities never investigated numerous rumors of fraud surrounding his persona. But rumors are just rumors. Although in 2007, he was actually brought to the court for alleged illegal activities with his 16 foreign bank accounts. In 2009, he was cleared of all charges.

He achieved this wealth by owning hundreds of hectares of land, numerous properties and businesses, which include TVC Radio Continental and Oando Oil (which is managed by his younger brother).
