He may do so, not because he is Igbo, but because he is PDP. Ethic sentiment is not always about selfishness. It has its healthy role to play in our national life. Unfortunately, the way we express our ethnicity in Nigeria, many times, shows crass selfishness which seriously contributes to our corruption as it creates unfairness and injustice in the system. Ditto for religion.

Greed rides on ethnicity, religion and corruption to put us in mess we are in today. Will Buhari help us? We think he's not greedy. But is he an ethnic and religious bigot, as he's been accused? Or has he redeemed himself truly as he has claimed? Will he surreptitiously implement an Islamic agenda? Will he deal with the AK47 carrying Fulani cattle herdsmen who are causing mayhem in the country and are his kith and kin? ...... Time will tell. May the Good Lord delivere us!

That kwankwaso Of man is the most tribalist governor of nigeria



He is worthless in national politics



Whatever he is ends in the north.

Is he really anything in the north? A man who ascribed his seven years so called achievement to apc which he joined only a year to the end of his second term . Was he not the one his new governor was complaining of inheriting huge depth? Wasn't that the same state a newly constructed fly over collapsed and killed some unluck Nigeria's a couple of months ago?

Ekweremadu said he grabbed the DSP position so the SE wouldn't last, wish he could enumerate what he did for the SE cause for the previous two terms he had...

One myopic saTANist said he built many event centres in Enugu and environs!!

Nothing except acquiring wealth for himself
He owns half d hotels in Enugu

Kwankwaso is a member of the Unity Forum backing Lawan! He was part of the twenty Senators that hurriedly came to chamber when the election of the Deputy was going on!

You people should stop looking for Support for Saraki! Kwankwaso was not part of the Charade!

Then, kwankwaso is as foolish as both lawan and the entire 20 senators that went to receive or rather,meet PMB.

Was he elected to go on a courtesy visits? NO

He was elected to be a law maker, and what did he do? He left his primary assignment to go and play ITK politics,

Whatever happened that day that made lawan not elected were all their faults. Just imagine being employed by a certain employer and u missed ur 1st day @ work, what do u think will happen? Disaster, and what ever happens is of ur making.


It is high time these people stop playing with Nigerians and do the Job they were elected to do and stop playing partisan politics, Let whatever happened on that election day,be an eye opener to all of them,

He couldn't have said it any better, i do agree. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Its about time a prominent person from SE shuts this stinking man up once and for all. He is fond of running his mouth thinking Nigeria belongs to him alone and the hausas. Kwankwaso should do his worst.

Den na u go givam peace ba? C yor head! (evn thöugh i no dey c am)

Kwakwanso never knows when to shut up.

let the truth be told, nigerian politrickcians are all self centered, they only think about thier selfish interest, we have true and committed apc and pdp members, we also have politrickcians in both party who are pdp to the left and apc to the right, the last set are the most dangerous, they might be apc in outlook but pdp inside or pdp in outlook but apc inside,saraki belongs to this last group, the way and manner saraki emerged is not healthy for our democracy, lets just face the truth, a seed of discord has been sown already, saraki,s support base is pdp, they in opposition will always find faults with the apc led govt, all this subtle moves to mend fences amounts to window dressing, mark my words, very soon this unholy alliance between saraki and pdp fiends will impede our polity.

Yes,he wasn't there when they voted in Saraki!

I thought it was the Yorubas that hate the Igbos most. Now it's Hausa/Fulani. Tell me something. It seems all other tribes and even Indonesians and Chinese hate Igbos most cos they are the most blessed people on earth.

Stop lying! Kwankwanso was not there! He was part of the twenty Senators that hurriedly came to the chamber, when they heard about the shenanigans going on in the chambers!

barcanista was running his mouth the other day! Saraki is finished politically!

Kwankwanso was in the Senate when Ekweremadu was nominated.

These apc people dey fear too? When Tambuwel took off from pdp, they all celebrated even though that movement was done in other to punish GEJ. They all were against GEJ and wanted by all means to turn GEJ down unjustly. Apc will never go any where. Nature will always block them as they did to GEJ. If apc like let them gather together all the wise people of this world to put to shape the apc, including this Kwankwaso, they will never move any where other than to fall.

Saraki has just played a very poor political strategy.He has utilised his smartness of today to create problem for the future.This is coming at the eve of current tansition that Nigeria is about to start enjoying the divident of democracy.Saraki should know that these problem that he has created,not only for the APC but for the entire masses.It is unthinkable to know that an average Nigeria live below 1.25 dollars.A minority party owning to their years of misrule is doing everything possible to make sure they continue to service their corruptible instinct and Saraki is outhere romancing them.it's a pity

That is the typical Hausa/Fulani man for u .Their hatred for the Igbo tribe has no bound.

I will like to refer us back to an article which to an extent convinced me that PMB the FULAN/Hausa is a party to Senator Bukola the YORUBA/Fulani emergence as the senate president ...................That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” – Aldous Huxley

“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” – George Santayana

“History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future.” – Wole Soyinka

The loss of the Senate Presidency and the Speakership of the Federal House of Representatives by the APC faction of Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu is another chapter in the naivety and misguided priority of the current ruling political class of the Yoruba nation. It would have serious consequences for the fortunes of the Yoruba nation in the foreseeable future. The conscious efforts of Tinubu to cultivate the friendship of the Fulani ruling class for the purposes of wining political power within the Nigerian context would definitely end in disaster and this is just the beginning.

Though, it is not as if this was not envisaged by some perceptive minds, neither was it that the Tinubu and his crowd were never warned, but as our forefathers in Yoruba land aphorised, “Aja ti yio s’onu kii gbo fere olode.” Yes, the dog that is determined to get lost would never hear the hunter’s bugle. The Fulani are a special breed. They understand only one thing – power at all costs. It does not matter how close you are to them. It does not matter how friendly you are to them. It does not matter how helpful you are to them. When it comes to power and control, they rally round themselves to neutralise you and maintain your subservience.

It is amazing that the high percentage of literate political leaders in Yoruba land who flaunt their degrees and bounce around with pride in Western education are uneducated in and about politics and history. They lack what is called native intelligence. It is embarrassing how the age-long wisdom of our forefathers in Yorubaland have always been discountenanced by this generation of politicians. Our forefathers often contend “Ti omode ba subu, a wo iwaju. Ti agbalagba bu subu a wo eyin.” Literally, if a child falls, he looks ahead to more opportunities to be able to rise. But when an elder falls, he looks back to reflect on the cause of the fall and ensure the same mistake is not repeated.

Nigerians can agree and or disagree that the ascendancy of Goodluck Jonathan was a function of providence. But what could not be argued is that it was a golden opportunity to make Nigeria belong to all. But history will record it against President Jonathan that he had an opportunity to make Nigeria whole, new and fair to all but failed woefully. His failure, apart from causing his removal from power, it seems, would serve as the causality for the regression of true freedom among the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria by about 60 years. In other words, it would serve as one of the major reasons why Nigeria would not be able to be the “Country” it ought to be, at least not in the nearest future. There might be other unintended consequences of this Jonathan tragedy, but it would be prudent to allow time to tell.

The functional relationship of this Jonathan tragedy to the re-emergence of Fulani hegemony in Nigeria is that it has helped give undeserved cover to Tinubuism – the pursuit of power at all costs, without principle and the benefits of lessons of history. Tinubuism as a political philosophy glorifies the absence of principles, which translates to an absence of ideology; an absence of ideology translates to the adoption of mercantilism; the adoption of mercantilism translates to appropriation of the first law of nature – self preservation; the appropriation of the first law of nature translates to the approbation of the lack of commitment on the part of the members; and lack of commitment from members translates to inchoate and non-cohesive organisation. Tinubuism, as a political philosophy, incubates within itself the seeds of its own vulnerability and its evanescence.

Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu hid under the cover of the Jonathan tragedy to bring back to power an ethnic oligarchy that has held Nigeria hostage for over five decades. In doing this, he spent money, energy, skills, goodwill, time, sweat and put in everything he got to ensure the success of the coalition he put together. His hope of getting positioned for greater influence in the run of things was dashed by those he has helped back to power, because as in the nature of this ethnic oligarchy, they are not the type that shares “control and domination” with anyone, not even the best of their friends, as history has shown and events have continued to validate.

The game played with Tinubu by Muhammadu Buhari, Abubakar Atiku, Aminu Tambuwal and Shehu Garba, all Fulani, is not limited to this crowd. It is an elaborate plan backed by an entire oligarchy that operates silently behind the scenes. This plan which is still in its infancy has been hatched before now. Bukola Saraki (a Fulani-Yoruba) is just a willing tool in this elaborate plan. The Fulani oligarchy is not going to take another chance to allow power be controlled by anyone or group other than them or one of their own.

…don’t sing the nunc dimitis of Tinubuism yet. One thing I know, however, is that its number one protagonist, Tinubu, is a fighter, a warrior and a consummate strategist. He may still have some secret jokers up his sleeve. He is not about to fold up. His reaction and response to the unfolding treacheries around him would be interesting to see. It would be more interesting because his political traducers, detractors and possibly, enemies now control the levers of federal political power in Nigeria.


The alacrity with which President Muhammadu Buhari accepted and praised the election of Senator Bukola Saraki, a Fulani-Yoruba, showed that he was in on the conspiracy to reduce the influence of his benefactor, Tinubu, an ordinary Yoruba. Buhari promptly promised to work with the Saraki coalition. It should not escape observers’ attention that the first port of call for Senator Saraki after his election was to pay homage to Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, who has always hated the guts of Tinubu since the days of Social Democratic Party (SDP) and General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s foray into politics.

For those who do not know, Alhaji Atiku has never liked Tinubu because he’s always felt Tinubu has been unwilling to be subservient to him and accept his (Atiku’s) leadership. Their rivalry has been very intense, since the days when General Yar’Adua built the solid coalition that defeated Chief Lateef Jakande in the SPD primaries in Lagos. Those who are privy to this rivalry are many. Some of them are deceased and some of them are still very much alive. The failure of Atiku to successfully use the platform of Action Party (AC) to realise his presidential ambition, after he was pushed out of PDP earlier on by President Olusegun Obasanjo, was considered the fault of Tinubu.

Alhaji Atiku is also of the view that his failure to clinch the presidential ticket of the APC was as a result of the machinations of Tinubu and he was willing to do anything to not only avenge his loss but to show that he has more clout than Tinubu. Hence, his subversion of the party’s will and role in the election and emergence of Senator Saraki as the Senate President. Sources inform that this scheme did not start after the election of President Buhari. Atiku and Buhari were alleged to have had a series of secret meetings after the completion of Buhari’s nomination in Lagos. The role of President Buhari’s Adviser on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, an Atiku protégé, in all this confusion should be closely and dispassionately paid attention to. The Tinubu coalition in the Senate was deceived and lured out of sight for Saraki’s election to hold without the interruption that could have marred the entire exercise if they were present.

Unknown to Tinubu, Aminu Tambuwal was in on the conspiracy. Tinubu certainly did not expect that a man such as Tambuwal who he helped build to national status would stab him in the back by helping to plot the installation of Saraki as Senate President. It further shows the naivety of Tinubu about the Fulani notion of power, and the vulnerability of his own political edifice. In the coming days, Tinubu would learn some more lessons in the struggle for power and domination in Nigeria’s space. He would be tutored in basic lessons of Fulani determination and solidarity to hold power at all costs and by any means necessary.

Already, grapevine sources are confirming the abandonment of Tinubu’s political ship by some of his hitherto beneficiaries, who are former governors actively collaborating with Buhari to build their own political fortunes and annihilate Tinubu’s influence in the South-West. These former beneficiaries are reported to be harbouring bitterness against their erstwhile benefactor for making their lives hell when they were still on the same boat with him. How successful they would be remains to be seen in the coming days. But observers should pay attention to the “divide and rule” tactics of the Fulani oligarchy.

Apart from these former governors, there appears to be several of Tinubu’s former beneficiaries being rumoured to be scheming and angling to benefit from the new arrangement without recourse to Tinubu. He is being left in the lurch. But these series of perfidies have been possible because of the nature and character of Tinubuism as a political concept and philosophy. When the kernel of a political philosophy is basically self-preservation, devoid of principle and ideology, it encourages the characteristics of the Hobbessian kind of politics and antics – “every man against every man”. In this kind of situation, every person has the liberty to do anything s/he thinks necessary for preserving his or her political career. As Thomas Hobbes earlier contended, this situation would be nothing but “solitary, nasty, and brutish.” Hobbes described this condition with the Latin phrase “bellum omnium contra omnes” meaning “war of all against all”, in his work De Cive, first published in Paris in 1642.

In the mercantilist environment that Tinubuism fosters, unhealthy competition is normally the order of the day. Backbiting, subversion, treachery, undermining, lies, deception, greed, avarice, covetousness, morbid and inordinate ambitions often rule the day. It is an “every man for himself and God for us all” kind of environment. There is no enduring loyalty. There is no perseverance and commitment. There is no sacrifice. There is no principle. Or if there is any principle at all, it is “what is in it for me?” This is why it is easier for his beneficiaries to break away from him without possible consequences as we are presently witnessing.

I detest Tinubuism as a political idea and this is public knowledge. But my heart still goes out to Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu in commiseration for the current challenges he is facing. It could be very saddening and depressing to work so hard and be denied the fruits of your labour. But the unfolding tragedy is not unanticipated. He and his group were warned of the possible outcome of the gamble and the gambit deployed in producing the Buhari Presidency. He was so blinded by the pursuit of power that he failed to take cognisance of the lessons of history and take caution.

But don’t sing the nunc dimitis of Tinubuism yet. One thing I know, however, is that its number one protagonist, Tinubu, is a fighter, a warrior and a consummate strategist. He may still have some secret jokers up his sleeve. He is not about to fold up. His reaction and response to the unfolding treacheries around him would be interesting to see. It would be more interesting because his political traducers, detractors and possibly, enemies now control the levers of federal political power in Nigeria.

Kwankwaso with his mouth cancer, you don't know PMB much I guess.if you were in Sarki's position you will do worse. I'm sure you've forgotten how bit the finger that made you in the first place by decamping just to clinch to the presidential ticket which you did not get.
You can fool a few but not all
