With the election less than three weeks away
and the outcome possibly against them, the
Goodluck Jonathan Presidency and the
hardliners in the PDP have embarked on a new
strategy to put brake on the momentum APC
presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari
seems to be gathering.
This strategy is novel and seems to be the
outcome of a desperate calculation in that the
PDP has shifted its attention from the APC in
order to attack on multiple fronts the former
governor of Lagos state and APC national
leader, Bola Tinubu.
From what can be gathered through informed
sources, the PDP and Jonathan Presidency had
recently tried to fracture the APC by offering
Tinubu the position of vice President in an
interim government if he would agree to part
company with the popular Buhari.
Once Tinubu rebuffed the offer to participate in
the interim scheme, the presidency decided to
change tactics. It would no longer try to entice
Tinubu with sugar but would now move to
silence and if necessary neutralize him.
The APC National leader has caused President
Jonathan’s team countless headaches this
campaign season, his declining the interim
government offer is just the latest. The Jonathan
government sees Tinubu as the linchpin of the
APC and its successful electoral strategy.
They also consider him one of the government’s
most prolific and able critics due to his
longstanding and often strident critiques of
Jonathan government policies, from economic
development to national security.
More to the point, they blame him as the man
who is most responsible for placing them in
their current electoral quandary.
They believe without Tinubu’s efforts the
successful merger of the political parties into the
All Progressives Congress, APC, would not have
occurred and they would not be facing possible
defeat at the hands of this new party.
The PDP faces its stiffest competition ever in 16
years and the person they blame the most is
Tinubu, the major actor who is seen as the
strategic mind of the new party and one person
who must be stopped at all cost. General Buhari
has since been penciled down for similar
character assassination and vicious insults
alongside other leaders of the APC.
The agenda to tackle Bola Tinubu and weaken
his political influence nationwide and to
undermine his leadership in South Western
politics can be said to have gone into overdrive.
The first part of the strategy is to dredge
previously discredited claims of illicit wealth in
hopes of silencing Tinubu or lessening his public
image. However, they fear this public relations
attack may be too soft as Tinubu has been taken
before the ICPC and the case against him
dismissed. If this attack does not deter his party
activities, the presidency and PDP are prepared
to take more drastic action if they believe it
necessary to win the election by throwing the
APC into disarray.
This part of the plot has two options, the first of
which is to employ trained snipers to attack
Tinubu or assassinate him out rightly. This plan
is consistent with the warning made by former
President Obasanjo in his now famous 2014
letter to President Jonathan. Those within the
PDP favouring this approach argue that when
Chief Bola Ige, a powerful politician was
murdered, heavens did not fall even though the
then President was a Yoruba man. The second
option more crafty. The PDP will seek to
resuscitate the case of the murder of Funso
Williams a former Lagos gubernatorial
candidate by blaming Tinubu for the killing.
They are already coaching inmates and others.
They are offering them the promise of early
release and money if they will make statements
implicating Tinubu in the Williams murder. The
presidency intends to rush through this process
with the hope of putting Tinubu out of
circulation by trapping him in a contrived
criminal process until the elections are over.
Tinubu is not taking these revelations lightly
knowing well the capacity of this government
for devilish acts.
For the party that boasts it will rule Nigeria for
60 years, it has become an unexpected season of
political desperation. The PDP is worried that on
March 28, they will discover that they have
fallen 44 years short of their dynastic goal. By
all accounts, this has caused them to consider
very drastic plots and schemes.
Nigerians are confronted with a ruling party
willing to descend to the lowest in order to win
elections. Perceived political enemies are being
hunted. Trumped-up allegations are being
manufactured daily from the government
factory of lies to taint the leading figures in the
All Progressives Party, APC.

GEJ TO BAD

Afefe ti fe, a ti ri furo Adiye.

All these lies to make GEJ look bad before the eye of people, but hey, he is not OBJ.
And Tinubu should be watchful as APC wouldn't min sacrificing him and place the blame on GEJ to win them sympathy votes.


Politics is a dirty game indeed!

Tinubu can lie!

You of all people in the APC!
We all know GEJ needs a northerner - El Rufai, Kwankwoso etal would have suffice.

Even if he is hard pressed why not Fashola,why not Fayemi,why not Ajumobi etc.

Tens of obviously better candidates than your oju yobo self.

It seems BAT's acute halitosis stench has affected his cerberal fluid making him spew foolishly moronic untruths.
