Amidst criticisms of the love style of politicians in Nigeria, some politicians have continued to carve a niche for themselves through the wealth they have made for themselves in their political journey.



One person that stand out amongst the Nigerian politicians is the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is better known as Jagaban.

According to the article published by Naijauto in 2019, Tinubu currently seats as the richest politician in Nigeria with net worth that stands at $8.4 billion.
Tinubu who ruled Lagos State from May 1999 to May 2007 is currently the official richest politician in Nigeria as his net worth surpass that of other politicians in the country.

Tinubu who is currently the National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC,  is an astute business man who owns Vintage Press, The Nation Newspaper, TVC amongst and also holds large share in Oando where his brother, Wale Tinubu is the CEO.

It is clear that the Jagaban is only able to sustain his wealth and political relevance not because he is politician, the Jagaban is a smart thinker to have own and manages his business outline and breeds political leaders who have as well contributed to his strength and wealth.

The political leaders raised by Jagaban are often referred to as the army of political dynasty of the Jagaban which includes the current vice president of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osibanjo who was appointed as the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice durimg Tinubu's reign as the governor of Lagos State, others include Babatunde Raji Fashola, Akinwumi Ambode, Sanwo-Olu, Rauf Arebesola amongst others.
