All may not be well within the camp of Nigeria’s main opposition party, APC, as its governors are now at loggerheads with the leadership of the party over a premature power sharing formula being pushed by the national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

This development, which apparently is a fall out from the way and manner the running mate of APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari was picked has thrown up fresh challenges for the party.

The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun whose position appears to have been hijacked, has been making frantic efforts to bring all the warring groups to a reconciliation table.

However, the party appears to have split into pro and anti-Tinubu forces as the governors, especially those from the north have roundly rejected Tinubu’s formula in which he demanded juicy government positions as condition to give full financial backing to Buhari’s campaign since he was not allowed to emerge as Vice President.

The governors, who have been holding series of meetings in Abuja on the matter are said to be angry that Tinubu was still pushing for other strategic positions, being eyed by some of them, even after the Vice Presidential slot was conceded to him.

The former Lagos state governor, is said to have met Buhari and requested that in addition to the Vice President slot, he should be allowed to produce the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which he has reserved for one of his friends from the South South even without consulting the APC governors from the area.

Tinubu was said to have also demanded that he be allowed to produce key ministers as well as the review of oil licenses to incorporate his interest.

Also, there are apprehensions that APC governors from the South south, north central and South East, namely Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state, Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, Ahmed Abdulfatah of Kwara state and their Imo counterpart, Rochas Okorocha may have been schemed out following fears that they will secretly work in favour of President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 general election.

Sources within the party confirmed that these governors are being closely monitored adding that the appointment of Amaechi to lead Buhari’s campaign was to put him under check.

In Tinubu’s watch list also is Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola who has been schemed out following his perceived disloyalty for challenging Tinubu’s choice in the APC Lagos state governorship primaries.

Tinubu’s demands have not gone down well with APC governors and other key party stakeholders from the north as they interpret them as outright greed and move to appropriate the party for his personal gains.

In the current power play, the three former PDP governors who left for the APC appear to have completely lost out as none of them or their followers have been accommodated in the power sharing so far at the party and government levels.

The governors were said to have met with Buhari on the matter during which they demanded that the Presidential candidate take his rightful position as the leader of the party and cut Tinubu to size before it becomes too late especially as Tinubu is perceived by the public as the “leprous finger” in the APC.

Sources privy to the meeting said the governors made it clear to Buhari that they did not leave the PDP to become subservient to Tinubu, who they noted was not sure of delivering Lagos state in the Presidential election.

The internal wrangling have degenerated into a cold war that led to the shelving of series of events lined up by the party last week. A party source who, pleaded anonymity confirmed that there are disagreements in the ranks but noted that they will be settled amicably

Remember the statement of andrew azazi when he said pdp is boko haram. He died few days after that statement. When pdp makes claims to buhari and others as responsible for their wores i just laugh. They compare nigeria case to syria, egypt, afghanistan etc. But in reality our case is quite different. The above countries are constitutionally recognised as islamic nations. And as such we do know the different sects exist in islam the shites (ordinary muslims) and extremists(sharia) it is reasonable to see a clash between both sect for supremacy because naturally islam is recognised and imbedded in their constitution. Their is bond to be a fight as to which sect should be superior to the other. In other islamic states where you find no clash, it is obviously so because the extremists have not decided to want to claim superiority. In nigeria we are not suppose to be talking about islamists because first it is alien to us. Nigeria is constitutionally a free secular country for all, no religion is endorsed over the other. In the 36 states the constitution didnt endorse any religion as lord over the other. During obasanjo tenure PDP tenure, because obj was seeking cheap popularity among the north, he resolved to use the tool of religion to get it. Sharia was given in islam and is believed to be the core and peak of islam, but it remains and has to be implemented to be practised. Obj and pdp aided by MUAZU(PDP current chairman) and sherima implemented sharia in full. That breed monsters and brought the believe in those who wanted to pratice sharia to the core to believe it can be approved for them nationwide and in all northern states. That is what boko haram is agitating for today and they belief they can force their beliefs to be accepted too. Pdp and their president were looking for cheap popularity for election and didnt care about the consequences it would take in the future
