This is still the lived realities of Southern Kaduna on a daily basis but the media will rather suppress the news since it's now politically expedient to do so. Instead of looking for a holistic solution to curb this age long menace that has persisted for decades, they chose to blame Elrufai. Now, Elrufai is no longer in power so news like this will rather get overlooked just to offer some people political capital. Same thing is happening in Benue till date. At the end, the people are just pawns on the chess board.

Meanwhile, the governor is busy negotiating with terrorist just to secure temporary peace. The equivalence of putting bandaid over a bullet wound.

ChiefOkporghe:


Please, can you quote the part of the OP that says what you claim here in bold?

Read the headline. Bottom line is that neither Tinubu nor Uba Sani built a University for Southern Kaduna. They simply approved the renaming of a University that an indigene of Southern Kaduna built with stolen money. So why all the media propaganda and photoshoots? In reality, what concrete project has either Tinubu or Uba Sani done for Southern Kaduna? Propaganda is not enough.

otipoju:
Who built the original Nok University

The APC is being clever by half. A Southern Kaduna ex-Civil Servant embezzled money and built a private university, hotel and hostel. The EFCC made him forfeit the assets and the government is now claiming to have given Southern Kaduna a university, amid so much fanfare and deceit. Who is deceiving who?

Shattuck:
seems you are on el rufai's payroll, strange all your contribution is about el rufai.

I am a big fan and student of his school of leadership and unapologetically so. He alone made me mobilise and vote for Tinubu in 2023 and to see the same people he worked for trying to rewrite history and make him the villain rubs me off the wrong way. I assure you, he doesn't know me nor have we ever met. There are millions like me, I assure you. You seem to underestimate the amount of ers that the President lost with the shabby treatment of Elrufai. Most are only quiet for now.

The Northern politicians Tinubu has surrounded himself with are not inspiring and can barely mobilise northern voters to queue again behind the ticket in 2027. They simply lack the charisma. This was what HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was trying to tell the President recently but he was met with insults. Whether you it or not, losing Elrufai will turn out to be a strategic mistake.

Just a few words from Elrufai and the whole polity is already in turmoil. Whoever says he's irrelevant is just lieing to himself. The master strategist should have learned to keep friends close and "enemies" even closer, that is if he considered Elrufai an enemy. Elrufai posed no direct threat to Tinubu before now, not until he was embarrassed and continuously hounded. He only posed a threat to fellow Northern APC politicians who are scheming for 2031. The President should have remained neutral and not pick a side, just as Buhari did. Elrufai deserved that. At this point, he has nothing to lose.

Putindbutt:

It is not only about the north, every region now has a development commission. If you like, pocket all the funds and neglect the development of your region, that's your own problem. I can see that the suffering of Elrufai is affecting your reasoning.

So appointing cronies into these Regional Commissions will guarantee development? The Commissions are already being set up to fail and it's all on the President. So much for, "Tinubu has the ability of identifying talents"...Clearly we were lied to. All we see is nepotism for Southern appointments and cronyism for Northern appointments.

The President is not really gauging the pulse of the North and, indeed, of the nation. Does he think catering only to the interests of the elites to the detriment of the masses will guarantee him votes? This may work in Lagos, but it's not the same nationwide. There really is nothing inspiring about this government.

Akpakomiza2:


As it stands, Tinubu will win the Christian north and middle belt. Core north will still be divided. El rufai is not relevant electorally

Okay o. What about the South? Will he win the South?

EmperorCaesar:


I thought El-Rufai said he's moved on

Thought he said he was pointblank told PBAT he wasnt interested in a Ministerial post

So why this obsession and childish antics

Svoboda, I agree he helped Tinubu into power, but at this rate, if any Tinubu loyalist attacks Mallam, then he shouldnt be called a betrayer or whatever

He's now playing it the mud and whatever attack he gets is justifiable

“Unless betrayed, our loyalty and fidelity to friends are permanent and pensionable. Unless reconciled, our opposition and enmity to traitors are also permanent and pensionable” - Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai

If you really know Elrufai, you would know he's a very dependable ally but a very formidable foe. He does not just move on. Na you go tire. It was not about the rejection at the Senate. It's about the way and manner it was done and the grand plan to erase his legacy. He won't take it lying down.

Akpakomiza2:


Atiku can only win the core north narrowly

Who would he narrowly win it to? Tinubu? Muslim-Muslim ticket will offer the President no political advantage in 2027, and it might even be a liability for him amongst the Northern Christians who would prefer he drops Shettima and pick a Christian. PDP is still very strong amongst the Christian North and they have no misgivings voting Atiku having voted him twice before in the past against Buhari.

Tinubu is getting more unpopular amongst the muslim North as the days go by. The fact that the opposition that APC seems to be facing for now is in-house through the likes of Elrufai, should make them very jittery. Obi and Atiku have not even entered the 2027 conservation yet. The state of the economy will also be a factor and Tinubu might end up getting less votes generally than he got the last time.

EmperorCaesar:
Aminda..Guess this was cooked up in the SW media too

Lol. If the President's strategy is to replace Northern Kaduna votes or better yet, Northern Muslim votes with Southern Kaduna or Northern Christian votes, then he has already lost the election. In 2023, Northern muslims splitted their votes between Tinubu (a southerner) and Atiku (a Northerner and a collusus in his own right). The Northern Christians and indeed, Southern Kaduna largely voted Obi in protest of the Muslim-Muslim ticket. Traditionally, Southern Kaduna have always voted PDP, they have never voted APC before now.

The President is fast loosing his Northern Muslim base and if these numbers are added to Atiku's, then the President will lose even if he gets Southern Kaduna votes (which as at today, is still not guaranteed). He should have found a way to keep his Northern base while still wooing the Northern Christian minorities. He hasn't done that. Right now, he's just replacing one for the other which is a strategic mistake.

Below are the numbers for Kaduna and how the two regions in the country voted. Like it or not, the North delivered Tinubu in 2023 because he lost Lagos and Osun in his region and generally didn't win the South. You can do the maths.

bdon123:

Yes becos he was a governor.Any Governor of kaduna n kano is usually a heavy weight in d north becos kaduna n kano hav d highest voter base in d north.
Now that he d incubent governor is fighting to hav is own weight by alignment wit presidency Rufai is zero in d north.Wike has more control of north than rufai

Says another Yoruba ronu typing from his enclave in Iragbiji? Have you ever been to any state in the North, let alone Kaduna? Your kind are the ones leading the APC into oblivion.

bewisemasses:
El Rufai is a political adversary u never want to have.
It was part of d reason Tinubu picked him and Wike as part of his team.
Its going to be a long drama till 2027.
The chicken has indeed come home to roost

“Unless betrayed, our loyalty and fidelity to friends are permanent and pensionable. Unless reconciled, our opposition and enmity to traitors are also permanent and pensionable” - Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai

Little wonder individuals like Bwala and Reno Omokri have been pacified and co-opted into the government as spokespersons for a fee. If David Hundeyin is available for a fee, he will be bought as well. Does someone have a fragile ego behind all the outward bragadacio? Shouldn't a clear conscience fear no accusation? Why are they scared and aggressively chasing validation?

Edoreborn:
This man really try for that ingrate president,,i was in Kaduna when this man and mattawale stood their ground against fraudulent naira notes which wàs targeted against tinubu's presidential bid.. u see life?

To some Yorubas, it's smartness. To Northerners, it's a betrayal of trust.

Comment sections on social media are rife with Southwesterners now insulting Elrufai and trying to rewrite history. Yorubas are never beating the allegations. Tinubu has only succeeded in showing the North that he cannot be trusted and his words are not bankable. Never write Elrufai off. His comeback will be epic!

APC's 2027 campaign in the North will lack momentum and will be lacklustre. The Northerners Tinubu has surrounded himself with will barely deliver.

P.S: The headline is sensational and incomplete. Even the blind knew Elrufai ed Tinubu in 2023 but he WILL oppose him in 2027 and justifiably so. He has the and blessings of young Northerners to do so. Some of us only voted Tinubu in 2023 because of Elrufai.

zero8zero:

Can you now see that you're inconsequential. Every bill is subject to a debate, the Governors have suggested a sharing formula for VAT, the people will still suggest theirs at public hearing. The Senate would have a final debate on it and then into law what they deem fit. For now, the budget is what bill before the Senate. After ing the budget this month, the next assignment is the tax bill. dey calm down, try to dey learn.

Lol. The below images are not my handwriting sha. They are those of an overzealous batist. The same lamentations will worsen leading up to 2027. You'll be here screaming "Tinubu is not Jonathan" until it all becomes clear.

Notice the timelines and the movement from arrogance to frustration and then to resignation and defeat.

zero8zero:

I hope you can read?, open the links below and read them. Dey Nairaland dey whine yourself. https://nairaland.isosite.org/8319210/governors-endorses-tax-reforms-bill

Lol. You mean after the governors have had their way by changing the sharing formula and suspending increase in VAT? I thought the slogan is "Tinubu is not Jonathan"? Why then did he fold? By the way, where is the tax bill and why hasn't it been ed? Where is Taiwo? Democracy is by consensus, not arrogance.

P.S: Personally, I the tax bill.

Is seems we have not seen the end of Obasa's removal. This sponsored story is simply someone invoking plausible deniability with the hope of continuing to enjoy Obasa's . It might not work this time.

Next to be schemed out of the race will be Gbajabiamilla. The signs are already there for the discerning. The coast is getting cleared for someone to have a smooth sail.

Odin13:

Dem no dey hide pregnancy

Arewa will chop Tinubu money and look right with hi amateur politicians

Never knew his closest friend in Northwest is fighting him already
I mean Wammako of Sokoto state ..

Then he’s loosing all already…. Na. Masari he dey hope on to align the north?

Hia attack on elrufai was the beginning of his down fall in North.
Am from southern kaduna and I can guarantee that Tinubu won’t be getting any vote from here .. if he wan dance anyhow .. e means nothing

Kano is already locked out .. now kastina and sokoto . With kebbi and zamfara .. going PDP already

Don’t know how Tinubu wan do this . .. in north central.. but I know east and west of Arewa are so so out of reach .. plus his rigging and billion dollars ..

We can’t afford to keep Tinubu for another 4 years in office

Walahi .is haram to Arewa and every sane Nigerian

Southern Nigeria is ready
East I believe is ready

Let the west carry their cross it they feel so..

No sentiment

The tribalism and foolishness of this regime is nauseating

It's so hilarious whenever I see comments saying Tinubu will win Southern Kaduna. Ask them how and they say because he approved a university for them. I look at the names of those saying this and its usually people from the Southwest. Is Southern Kaduna aware that they are voting Tinubu in 2027 or are they merely relying on propaganda?

They also delude themselves by saying that Tinubu will win the votes of Northern Christians. To do that, he will have to drop Shettima and consider running with a Christian VP but even that may not guarantee anything. Even the APC governors in the North will struggle to get re-elected as things stand right now.

Isn't it obvious that they got marching orders to do so? The rapid interviews by Matawale, Tuggar, Uba Sani, Bwala, et al following Elrufai's comments were not coincidental. But are their messages really resonating with the North? I don't think so.

The Presidency should have a feel of what to expect in 2027 using the tax bill as an example. Did any of these northern politicians come out to speak in of it? Even Barau Jibrin had to backtrack when he saw the backlash that followed his attempt at doing so. Elrufai would have been at the forefront speaking in of it and helping to allay fears.

Tinubu will struggle to find respectable vocal politicians of Northern extraction that can sell his presidency in 2027, and for good reason. Not with the shameful treatment of his most vocal Northern er in 2023, Elrufai. It will turn out to become his single most strategic mistake.

It simply mirrors what obtains at the top. Grand scale nepotism and personal interest. What was the value of Oando before 2023 and what is it now? What about the award process and amount for the Lagos-Calabar Road? And to whom was it awarded?

he built Lagos. It will be time for the son to paint it in 2027.

casualobserver:


Go fork yourself. I have told you we do not care. Unlike you we are not desperate for power. We ain’t begging you and we ain’t begging the SE.

We will not be threatened by anyone. You see power means a lot to you because that’s all you have, no factories, no development, no schools, no nothing. Power means a lot to the SE because they’ve never had it. We do not care because we are ok with or without power and we have had it many times! We have also been out of power and oppressed and thrived!

So again carry your votes and vote as you like we do not care and we will not be threatened.

Whatever happens power or no power, our region will always be ok. None of you can say that.

You are obsessed with power because you have nothing else and when you have the power what do you do with it? Impoverish your people even more! You do t create jobs only out of school children and terrorists!

Again go fork yourself and let this be the last time you think you can threaten or blackmail a yoruba man with withdrawing votes. Please withdraw them all, if you do t you are a bastard!

Nonsense

Whewww! Someone is triggered. You don't care and yet here you are hyperventilating on my mentions after telling me goodnight severally. This is the politics section. If you really do not care, then why are you here? Are you also one of those Southwesterners who is from Lagos? All Southwesterners are from Lagos these days, which is ironically where all our Nigerian ports are situated. Oh, and by the way, Baba Sope lost Lagos to Obi and lost Osun (even Iragbiji) to Atiku. I guess they know him better than the rest of Nigerians.

"Vote for who you know. Do not vote for who you do not know" - Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. In hindsight, I wish we had listened. Goodnight and I mean it.

casualobserver:


You are already in the mud forking asssshole. You think you can threaten us with votes? Na today we Dey lose election?

I repeat you will not die well if you don’t carry your relatives and village people and get all of them to vote against Tinubu.

Eeeediot! Who do you think you are threatening? You think we are scared? Which number you get? This is not the era of writing results o. This is the era of BVAS! I hope you know all your ghost numbers have gone down. Even Borno could not 1m votes.


Do your worst, 2027 you will understand real politics. And if Tinubu loses he comes back home.

Nonsense and ingredients!


Kilode! Who disturbed you when you were there for 8 years, this power is not your birthright and you will learn in 2027.

Good night!


Eeediot!

The most educated son of the Southwest has spoken. A proper omoluabi indeed. Keep your hats on! Below is how the regions voted in 2023 by the way. My final advise to you will be to go reconcile with the Southeast and Southsouth. Oh wait, you can't right? You still need the uneducated North, don't you? I wonder why. Lol.

casualobserver:


It is not a question of chickening out. I recognize an eediot when I interact with one. What is my business with Obasa?

GO fork yourself and like I said call your relatives friends and townsmen and vote against tinubu. Worst case scenario he loses and comes back home.

Arrogant entitled ignorant uneducated eeediot! Note I did not say eeeediots, I said eeediot because others are not responsible for the rankings of 1 eeediot!

Na una get Nigeria? Look at this foool. Election will come everybody will vote, whoever wins will enter Aso rock, whoever loses will go to his house.

Lol. Are you back to quoting me? I thought you've had enough. I can see the level of your "education" on display. No one threatens anyone in a democracy. It's simply a game of numbers and concessions. Then add a little bit of honesty and sincerity, and whoever losses election fairly will go home. I won't play in the mud with you. Now run along!

casualobserver:


Oga I am done with you. I didn’t bother reading past the 1st 2 lines. I stopped after you lots. First of all the proper grammar is “you lot” which in itself indicates you are not properly educated. Maybe if your past leaders hadn’t embezzled your education budget you would have a better grasp of English.

Please actively campaign for Atiku or ElRufai or obi or whoever you want. Worst case scenario he loses, he comes back home, heaven will not fall.

Like I said call all your friends relatives and townsmen, Vote for whom you like and let us have peace, this power is not for you alone, you don’t own Nigeria.

Good night!

Nonsense!

As expected. I knew you would chicken out. You do not have the range to teach me grammar. I could swear that I am more educated than you. Don't ever be found in the kitchen again. It's clear that you do not have it in you to stand the heat. I could have called you a coward but that would be a disservice to proper cowards.

casualobserver:



My friend did Tinubu not nominate him to be power minister? Who sabotage his nomination?

Let me explain something to you, look through my posts, I have never ever abused Buhari. I have said he was never a good manage r of the economy because I was alive when he was head of state. I have defended his infrastructure legacies despite his failings in other departments. Ubaru is a man I will always have a lot of time for because he is the last of a dying breed of politicians who have that old school value system. But he is not a good economist or manager of the economy, he wasn’t in 1984 and he wasn’t 2015-23. i I have also said Tinubu would not be president without the North, I have also acknowledged ElRufais role. But that does not mean ElRufai should seek to bring down the house he built. This is politics sometimes you lose out.

Oga, I am an individual, I am not able to the views or opinions of others, just like you are not responsible for all the utterances or actions of your fellow Northerners. So please try to situate this based on what I say not what others say.

Please don’t bring Osinbajo into this. Even Buhari was shocked he tried to contest. I don’t expect that kind of comment from a Northerner. In any event did he not contest? Sometimes technocrats get thrust into power and start to think they are politicians or they know politics. Tinubu never asked for Buhari’s endorsement. All he wanted was a level playing field because he knew he would win if he got a level playing field. Buhari delivered an open playing field whether or not Tinubu was his choice is immaterial.

Finally ElRufai is not a career politician, he got into politics by accident. Tinubu has been in politics since 1992.

Forget all that talk about "who sabotaged his nomination". You are not talking to kids or people with single-digit IQs. It's the same way you lots claim that Tinubu was not aware of Obasa's removal. Same you who started this discussion by saying "Elrufai did not Tinubu. He ed Amaechi. He did it for himself", etc. You must really think Northerners are naïve. Tinubu begged Elrufai live on stage in Kaduna to work with him. Even after winning, he continued to send emissaries to persuade Elrufai to work in his government only to carry out a clandestine coup against him. Look, Northerners believe in the concept of "Amana (Trust)". It was the only reason why they ed Tinubu in 2023. An average Northerner expects you to keep your word because word is bond, whether written or unwritten.

Can you explain why the likes of Shehu Sani and political adversaries of Elrufai are now stakeholders and spokespersons for the Tinubu government? You will realise the political insignificance of this new found allies of Tinubu in 2027.

Mattawale, Keyamo and even Bosun had petitions against their nomination. Why then did the President intervene to clear them. Tinubu started politics in 1992 and Elrufai was Minister of the FCT 22 years ago. Its simply a function of age. What other career do you know Elrufai for asides politics?

casualobserver:


Oga no need for abuse. As an educated person you can make your point if you have any without throwing insults. If we go down the path f raining insults,I am sure you will see from my post history I am quite capable. You are free to vote for whoever you like nobody is begging you, the chips will fal where they will. I already acknowledged that without ElRufai, Tinubu would not have secured the nomination but he didn’t do it for Tinubu. His delegates voted for Amaechi and he did not deliver his state for Tinubu. I acknowledge his role in the currency saga but ElRufai does what is good for ElRufai. Even his son Bello said in the interview with Seun that his father and Tinubu have never seen eye to eye.

Oga all this one of threatening to vote for Atiku please feel free and call all your relative and friends and villagers to vote for Atiku….we don’t care how you vote o, we can’t be threatened. The days are gone when you can threaten us in the south. That does not mean we don’t acknowledge the role the North played in Tinubu’s victory but don’t start get arrogant. This is not a master slave relationship and we can’t be threatened! If Tinubu loses he loses, heaven will not fall but abeg, this attitude of yours you are displaying that the North owns Nigeria bury it!….fast If Tinubu loses so be it, it’s your loss, what have you achieved with all your years in power?

I repeat without ElRufai Tinubu wouldn’t have been president but he wasn’t doing it for Tinubu. It wasn’t entirely altruistic. I also repeat it was his fellow Northerners that sabotaged his ministerial nomination. If ElRufai has a problem it is with his fellow Northerners. Tinubu was shut out of power for 8 years by the same people he helped with his own resources to the presidency, did you see him disparaging the government or forming opposition alliance? Instead he came back to be Buhari’s campaign co-chairman for his second term.

Like I said, if you want to vote for Atiku, feel free but don’t come here talking with a sense of arrogance or entitlement threatening anybody. Whatever happens to Nigeria we will always be the most viable region in the country. It is you that needs good leaders more than anyone.

What arrogant nonsense!

Elrufai is a career politician and whether he did it for himself or for whoever is besides the point. When Tinubu ed Buhari in 2015, wasn't he doing it for himself, hence his Emilokan speech? Nevertheless, Northerners recognised the role he played and rallied round him. If Elrufai worked hard for his party candidate with a view to contesting the presidency in 2031, is that a bad thing? Was it justified for Tinubu to try to take him out of the power equation to grant other Northerners (his stooges) an advantage over him? Buhari allowed all aspirants to vie for the seat in 2023 (a move that still makes Tinubu ers call him a betrayer for not anointing Tinubu). Osibanjo is now a persona non grata just for vieing for the seat with his "master". Where then is the internal democracy? It is a mistake to assume that Tinubu can unanimously annoint a leader for the North in 2031, even if he were to win in 2027. The North chooses its own leaders.

There is no threat anywhere in a democracy, we are just setting the record straight beforehand so no-one can attempt to rewrite history. This is history in the making. Tinubu messed up with his treacherous treatment of Elrufai and posterity will be the judge. Saying Tinubu was sidelined in Buhari's government is another attempt to rewrite history. Same person named as National Leader of the APC with several ministerial and heads of agency nominees including the Vice President and Speaker? Any other concessions and he might as well have been Co-President with Buhari. How was he sidelined?

Gotocourt:


With this Kaduna votes, Atiku garnered 554,360 to beat the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who got 399,293 to come second while Labour Party’s Peter Obi polled 294,494 to claim third position.
You sef, check am na

That number only shows you how hard the likes of Elrufai worked to deliver Tinubu. Never forget that Atiku is a Northerner and it was a three-horse race. As small as you think that number was, it's still higher than Tinubu's total in Ekiti and even his total in Osun (which he lost to Atiku by the way). It is still higher than his total in Ogun and his total in Oyo. And Kaduna is just one Northern state. Tinubu cannot pull that number again in 2027 with the disgraceful treatment of the man who worked so hard to sell his candidacy to Northerners. To understand what a merger with Obi would like, add Atiku's 2023 numbers to some of Tinubu's and also most of Obi's.

Tinubu failed to consolidate on his victory. So much for being a "master strategist". Even without a merger with Obi, Atiku is set to do much more better in 2027 because a lot of Northerners who voted Tinubu because of Elrufai will now handover their votes to their son, Atiku. Don't forget Atiku won all northestern states except Borno that he lost with a slight margin. Tinubu got the highest of his votes from the Northwest where Elrufai is from. Don't think Northeasterners will now vote Tinubu in 2027. They won't.

casualobserver:


I held this view and I agree 100% but over the last few days things have come to light and so i need to qualify my "agreement". It turns out ElRufai was scheming to be vice president under Amaechi. So the whole ing Tinubu was a calculated move that backfired on him. It just so happenned that it benefitted Tinubu and without Elrufai making that move Tinubu was toast but it wasnt because he ed Tinubu. it turns out 1) ElRufai directed his delegates to vote for Amaechi at the primaries and 2) he delivered Kaduna at the state level but not at the presidential level. APC only got 29% in Kaduna as opposed to 48% in the gubernatorial. Did I say Kaduna delegates voted for Amaechi?

So while it is true that ElRufai was instrumental in Tinubu becoming president, he did it for himself not Tinubu, he had to pave the way for a southern president for him to become VP.

Finally, I hope people know that it is his fellow Northerners that blocked his ministerial nomination including his own state. Uba Sani has been in the trenches with Tinubu since the nadeco days.

ElRufai is a very intelligent man and a trouble maker but, I dont think he has what it takes to pull of a political coup against Tinubu. he rubs people the wrong way. and even amongst northern politicians there are those who dont like his style.

I nonetheless respect his intellect and I have said it before, his presence with the opposition is the only thing that can keep Tinubu up at night. The others together dont have what it takes. He will cause trouble but I am not sure he can pull it off. He will likely run his partners up the wrong way in the process with his scheming.

The only person that could have engineered a defeat for Tinubu in 2027 is Babangida and he is old and retired.

Life cycle of a typical Yoruba Batist. Betrayal, dishonesty and ficklemindedness is simply politics to them. It was Elrufai that made me and mine vote Tinubu against a Northern Atiku in 2023. I never trusted him and I have been proven right.

Mind you, Atiku has not lost a single vote of his margin in 2023, he is set to add to his numbers from remorseful Nigerians (especially Northerners) who voted against him in 2023 thinking they were being fair and just. Clearly, you Southwesterners think it was done out of stupidity with how the treacherous treatment of Elrufai has unravelled before our very eyes. Just to remind you that the North gave Tinubu 6 million out of his total 8 million votes. The impact Elrufai had in that cannot be overemphasised. My advise for Tinubu will be to find a sizable chunk of that number elsewhere in 2027 as he's never getting close to that number again.

Jostoman:
My question is who is afraid of Atiku ahead of 2027?

Once they discover that Obi want to contest they will Change it to IPOB and ESN topic. I fear who no fear APC government.

You hit the nail in the head. Gradually, you will start seeing news about fulani herdsmen coming back into the tabloids and mainstream media. Where were these fulani herdsmen before now? Someone is scared of Atiku. Nigerians can't be fooled again. We now know their modus operandi.

SalamRushdie:
No human being can convince me SanwoOlu went against Obasa without the explicit approval of Jagaban, it can never happen

Forget these people and their planted stories. Why does Tinubu always like to use plausible deniability when orchestrating clandestine moves against his erstwhile loyalist. Him feigning not to be aware of Obasa's removal is just a way to continue to enjoy Obasa's after carrying out a coup against him. I hope Obasa is smart enough not to be fooled by this. He just got schemed out of the governorship race. Who stands to benefit off this?

Every smart political analyst knows that Tinubu's prolonged stay in Lagos during the yuletide and his visit to the Oba of lagos were all in the bid to perfect Obasa's removal. So why the pretense?
