Who is Tinubu’s faceless 'boss'? By Ochereome Nnanna

Columnist Ochereome Nnanna examines the limited power of Nigerian presidents from the South compared to those from the North. He cites Obasanjo, who despite his military background had to contend with Niger Delta militants, while Yar'Adua secured their amnesty. He contrasts Jonathan's weakness with Buhari's stronghold, who unilaterally imposed policies like sharia law and took N100bn from the treasury. Tinubu, Nnanna argues, continues this 'caged eagle' tradition by awarding a N14trn road contract.
