Senate Minority Leader George Akume has said former Lagos State Governor Bola Tinubu is Nigeria’s pillar of democracy.
The senator, representing Benue Central District, addressed reporters when he visited his country home at Wannune.
He described Tinubu as a political juggernaut and a dynamic person who toils for the development of the nation’s democracy.

Akume said at great personal risks, Tinubu stabilised the polity with like minds, adding that his type was very rare in Nigeria.
The senator said the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) National Leader deserves a good mention in Nigeria’s history, not a footnote.
He said the frontline politician faced former President Olusegun Obasanjo and overran the rampaging Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southwest. The former Benue State governor added that when Tinubu celebrated his 60th birthday in Lagos and Abuja, the world was there because here is a man of immense valour.
“I wish we had 10 Asiwajus in Nigeria; the nation would have been different,” Akume said.
