Niga’Area Zootopia
After contesting and failing woefully 3 consecutive times, Tinubu picked up Buhari, brushed him up and sold him out as a Transformed person from Devil to Angel. Buhari was dressed on caps and attires of different ethnic groups. But once he won the election, he ditched all those unfamiliar materials and switched back to only Hausa Fulani caps and attires.
In 2019 Buhari will try it again, wearing ethnic attires of other tribes to deceive the gullible Southerners, but Tinubu may not be there to support and his SW followers may cease to be docile.
BACK IN 2015
The noise was deafening and the emotions were overwhelming. The “Sai Baba” crowd took over the space and commonsense took a flight.
Tinubu might not have made Buhari president, but he made him Electable!
SENDING THE RIGHT MESSAGE.
Primarily it targets your EMOTIONS. And when it captures your emotions, REASON and COMMONSENSE take a flight. You find it difficult to ask pertinent questions and interrogate certain claims. It is like a young man lured a teenage girl with sweet words that made the latter feel she was in Cloud Nine. Words of caution from a third party were always “rantings of haters”.
Tinubu used his massive media and propaganda contacts to recreate Brand Buhari. And what was the outcome? Even educated, intelligent and exposed Nigerians, especially Yorubas, suddenly fell in love with Buhari and suddenly saw in him a little god that could do no wrong.
Tinubu was naive, though. He played into the hands of the Northern Establishment. They knew Buhari would always be a hard-sell in the South. Very obvious. Therefore, they needed someone to serve as his salesman in the South and that person must have considerable political clout in the South. Tinubu fitted perfectly into this. He too wanted change!
BUT THE “CHANGE” BOTH OF THEM WANTED WAS NOT THE SAME: TINUBU WANTED HIS INFLUENCE TO GO BEYOND LAGOS, NORTHERN ELEMENTS WANTED THEIR MAN TO RECLAIM THEIR ‘POLITICAL BIRTHRIGHT’: NIGERIAN PRESIDENCY!
What we had was a convergence of conflicting ambitions but criminally united in the target of one prize: power!
But unknown to Tinubu, he outlived his usefulness on May 29, 2015. When he could not nominate even a single Minister from his South West Dominion.
“Between Tinubu and Buhari: The Modern Day Afonja and Alimi”
By Reno Omokri – Vanguard News Oct. 8, 2016.
“The unraveling of Bola Tinubu actually began on the 3rd of June 2016, when President Muhammadu Buhari publicly and right in Tinubu’s face told him at a reception the President held for members of the National Assembly at the Presidential Villa that the All Progressive Congress had no such position as a National Leader”.
FORWARD TO 2019
TINUBU may want to fight back; his silence is not golden. But mark my words: those in charge of state powers today are not Goodluck Jonathan’s. The FULANI know the meaning of power in a country like Nigeria and the potency of it’s deployment They will come after Tinubu. I repeat: they will target him if he dares make a wrong move.
Tinubu knows what awaits him; they will keep him ‘busy’; no room for politicking. TINUBU in Dilemma; he’s to choose between EFCC Jail or remain silent; which ever option brings his political career to abrupt end.
