Vanguard recognises Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Hero of Democracy, 2015.

Professor Attahiru Jega – Hero of Democracy
 Professor Attahiru Jega, a former president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, boosted his pedigree in 2011 when he conducted one of Nigeria’s most credible general elections.
