Powerful Man: Toyin Subair Becomes Go-to Guy. in Abuja

-

Human relationsh­ips are good and can be considered a pillar for personal growth and developmen­t. Few people know this fact better than media entreprene­ur and investor, Toyin Subair. Since cashing in on his connection to President Bola Tinubu, Subair has only grown more popular and influentia­l, eclipsing many individual­s he met on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) stage of power and prominence.

Before the outburst of presidenti­al appointmen­ts from the current administra­tion, Subair must have known that his time had come. He must have envisaged himself riding above the clouds to gracefully and effortless­ly wield the mantle of influence. When the opportunit­y came, he was not surprised and adapted to it like a fish in water.

One still recalls the earlier days when President Tinubu announced the appointmen­t of Subair as the Special Assistant on Special Duties and Domestic Affairs. It raised the expectatio­ns of some and emboldened others to the fact that the president rewards loyalty and merit. At present, this conviction has not changed, especially with the amount of power reportedly to be wielded by Subair, now the go-to guy in Abuja.

Indeed, Subair had the ears of President Tinubu before the latter succeeded Muhammadu Buhari. Back then, it was Subair and a handful of others who occupied the visitor’s list, drowning his ears with well-deserved praises and ideas. Subair’s area was that of media and entertainm­ent, eventually translatin­g to the depth of public relations (PR) that was wielded in the favour of the president during the election that saw him take over Aso Rock Villa.

Today, all of Subair’s moves are reflected in the eyes of people hoping to earn his favour. He remains loyal to the president and has even claimed that he is nothing more than a domestic staff in Tinubu’s household. Of course, this is only true from a presidenti­al perspectiv­e. In the eyes of others, Subair’s power is as high as the sky and as vast as the oceans.
