My Dear Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Greetings;
I write this letter to you not as a politician, because I am NOT ONE, but future to be, and as Comrade and an activist who have seen so much in body polity: the good, bad, and ugly of Nigeria contemporary history.

I write this letter to draw your attention to EVERY TIME MISTAKE politicians from Southern Nigeria, particularly, YORUBAS, who claim to be more debonair, cosmopolitan, intellectually sagacious make in their unholy alliance with axis of evil-a mafia and a cabal-that had prevented Nigeria to RISE above a crawling baby since independence in 1960.

This group from their dark inner concave continuously use suspecting, un-suspecting, committed nationalists, harmless, and willing souls like you to grab power; power they always abuse, more important, use against their benefactors once the sword is in their hand.
As a Yoruba man with so much knowledge on Yoruba historical past, without being immodest, I think, it will be to your interest to learn from history, retract your steps, where possible; seek forgiveness, where necessary, then begin a new journey with those of like mind, not for today, but for your TOMORROW.

Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, there are five historical
antecedents, this long letter will share and draw your attention to; PLEASE, DO NOT IGNORE, but choose the pathway of wisdom.
Never succumb to pride, but humble yourself to amend, where and when necessary.

Number One Event: Alaafin Arogangan Aole and Are Ona-Kan-Kan-Fo Afonja, Ilorin, and Yoruba Two Hundred Years After.
About two hundred years ago in 1815 at Ilorin, old Oyo Empire northern frontier, an incident happened, which changed the dynamics of Yoruba political system forever. Afonja-the son of Alugbin, son of Pasin, son of Laderin became the Are Ona-Kankan-Fo and viceroy of Ilorin, viceroy office started with his great grandfather, Laderin, the appointee of Alaafin Ajiboyede.
From available records, Afonja is loved, respected by his seventy-man Esos; adore and venerated by Ilorin, surrounding towns, villages, and communities.
However, after investiture, Afonja’s interest shifted from the chief security officer to political leadership, resulting in rivalry, distrust between Alaafin Aole, and Afonja.
The rivalry was so intense that Alaafin Aole
commissioned Afonja to undertake an impossible, perhaps, a suicidal mission; attack on Iwerre-Ile, the maternal home of Alaafin Ajiboyede.
Out of anger and frustration, Afonja commenced a bitter war against Alaafin Aole with the help of a Fulani sojourn, Mallam Alimi, who had just moved from Kuwo-a suburb of Ilorin, in a deal facilitated by Solagberu-a long-term friend of Afonja.
Oyo-Igboho was destroyed beyond repairs; thousands killed, homes and property destroyed by the rampaging Afonja-Alimi soliders.
Afonja became de-facto lord as Oyo laid in ruins and Yoruba nation dislocated. Even though, the lion roared from Ilorin, the forest refused to be still; within months, a payback time arrived. Alimi’s unruly soldiers or Jaama became a menace to Ilorin residents just like today’s Fulani Bororoje herdsmen; Afonja was helpless, and in
this confused state, Alimi conspired against his
benefactor-Afonja- shortly, he was assassinated. Afonja’s home carefully exterminated by Alimi; his
soldiers, sectional warlords, and supporters massacred, in succession, by 1817 when Alimi died, Yoruba had lost Ilorin to the Fulanis.
By 1823, Ilorin became one of the fourteen emirates under Usman-Dan-Fodio, the Futa Djallon, Fulani man, who had overrun the entire Hausa states from Gobir to the western border of Kanem-Bornu Empire on pretext
of religious piety.
Any lesson from this account? Can we see the price of greed, thirst for political power on Afonja, Ilorin, and the entire Yoruba nation? Afonja suffered a double jeopardy-he lost the anticipated extensive power and Ilorin. Sad to say, two hundred years after, Yoruba is yet to recover. Is there no similar trend in Yoruba land at
present?

Number Two Event-Are Ona-Kankan-Fo Kurunmi of
Ijaye: One- Man-Riot One of the major problems military attack on Oyo created was the destruction of towns, villages, and communities, resulting in humanitarian crises.
With Oyo gone, Iresa, Ikoyi and many more to follow, establishing new towns and communities became a necessity. Among new the towns were Ibadan in the east, Ijaye in the west; Ijaye came under the might hand of Kurunmi, the most powerful Yoruba political figure in mid-19th
century. Kurunmi was so powerful that everyone feared him.
Kurunmi cared for nobody, his concern was power and political survival, forgetting there was tomorrow.
Kurunmi built himself, but failed to build Ijaye, Kurunmi created a kingdom, but failed to empower Ijaye kingdom for tomorrow’s survival.
Kurunmi fought everybody, from Alaafin Atiba to
Adelu; he engaged in supremacy battle with Basorun Oluyole and Ogunmola of Ibadan, he terrorized Oke-Ogun-region, especially, towns around Saki under Okere; since he was not satisfied on how Alaafin Atiba resolved the matter before he died, Kurumi declared war, shortly
after Alaafin Adelu was crown.
Thanks to Ibadan war machine under Basorun Ogunmola, which “routed Kurunmi-Ijaye/Egba alliance (forces)…When Kurunmi saw the direction of the war-that he was running against time…Kurunmi committed suicide and Ijaye was destroyed by Ibadan army,”
Today, nothing is left on Ijaye soil other than mounds, ruins from yesterday’s attack, thick forest, and fallowed land-dwelling place of wild animals, reptiles, and nightjars.
Lesson-there is danger pursuing inordinate ambition,seeking power beyond every reasonable limit backfires; an excessive or extreme power is a gunpowder with potential to explode anytime, and possibility of destroying whoever possess it. Kurunmi’s excessive power eventually became his undoing and albatross.
Is there no trend in Yoruba land today?

Number Three Event: Chief Obafemi Awolowo and The 1962-66 Western Region Crises.
Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu- you are very conversant with 1962 Western Region crises, which began with the arrest, detention, trial, and imprisonment of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
Remember the dark forces of 1815, which treacherously took Ilorin, are still interested in over-running Yoruba land. Regardless, of several push backs beginning with Osogbo military adventure of 1840s by Ibadan under Basorun
Oluyole, even with Fulani’s defeat at Osogbo, they had not given up; because Yoruba land is a priced property, they wanted.
However, Awolowo’s superior politics combined with Yoruba unequal civilization made their quest impossible.
For more than fifty years, several means-they had
devised-mainly-political persecution, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and lieutenants were the first pioneer victims; fate late Chief M.K.O. Abiola suffered, afterward.
Awolowo’s project became the dark force’s mission, to conquer west, under code name: Destroy Awolowo.
Temporarily, the project worked, Chief Awolowo was tormented, taunted, humiliated, disrobed politically, and caged.
The enemies were happy that they succeeded,
after all, Yoruba leader was in jail; regardless, Chief
Awolowo refused to partner with darkness, refused any association with evil, more so, placed Yoruba interest above personal desires.
Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Where is the Awolowo of modern times?
Where are the generations of Awolowo’s
disciples?
Where are the banner carriers in Yoruba land?
Where are the Yoruba interest fighters, defenders, and promoters?
Where is this day Tai Solarin?
Where is 2016 Ganiyu Oyefeso Fawehinmi?
Where is the physician-turn-human-rights-fighter-Dr. Bekololari Ransome-Kuti?
Where are the Socrates in Yoruba land?
Where the Platos in the land of Odua?
Where is Cicero? Is Esa-Oke tired of
giving Yoruba land another Cicero?

Number Four Event: Late Basorun Moshood Kasimawo Olawale Abiola From National Party of Nigeria (NPN) To June 12, 1993.
Late Basorun Moshood Kasimawo Olawale Abiola needs no introduction, a man of extra-ordinary and un-usual intellectual ability. My generation came to know Chief M.K.O. Abiola from 1978 when the ban on political activities lifted, National
Party of Nigeria (NPN) and Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) were formed.
Chief Abiola became the foundation, pillar, and support NPN rested upon. Abiola labored, invested, worked, and contributed to make National Party big and great.
From Lagos, to Ibadan, Jos, Kaduna, Kano,Maiduguri, Port-Harcourt, back to Lagos, it was M.K.O. Unfortunately, Abiola became a victim of no-vacancy-for-southern-presidential-candidates, when late Alhaji Umaru Dikko, ultra conservative’s representative during 1983 presidential nomination race, said, “Presidency is not for Sale.”

As a true son of Odua, late Chief Abiola made immediate "U" Turn by resigning his membership from NPN; more important, humbly sought forgiveness from those he had wronged, particularly, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Lesson - At times, someone may be on a wrong course,
route, or place; or someone keeping bad friendship, but as soon as one discovers, correction must follow immediately, and no reason to wait.

Abiola did exactly so, for another ten years (1983-1993) Abiola underwent a political rebirth, from a pupil politician to a national hero, which explained his second coming as a favored and most loved Nigerian politician expressed on June 12, 1993.
Although, did not hold his elected office of president for a minute, however, Abiola recreated Nigeria Political landscape, forever.
Abiola demystified and deflated the so-called Hausa-Fulani political invincibility; more so, he
destroyed the invulnerable monolithic North forever.

Number Five Event: Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu and
Contribution to Buhari’s Presidency.
It is always said, the best experience in life is the
personal experience; there is no doubt, as a politician and a major player in this political dispensation-you have helped enthroned four Nigerians as presidents.

Particularly, General Muhammad Buhari, who had run for three unsuccessful times, and his born-to-rule mantra could not do the magic.

It is on record-you pulled resources, mobilized foot soldiers, used social, political, and cultural connections to sell Buhari as a political product to Nigerians.
In fact, General Buhari’s arrogance and apolitical outlook would have made him lose to another candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and then compelled him retire to Daura, but you saved him. Even though, his Hausa-Fulani brethren will tell a
different story that Buhari won on his merit, not
through your contribution and support.
Events in the past fifteen months have shown that
Hausa-Fulani used and dumped YOU.

Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you have become the proverbial sugarcane Buhari & Co sucked, and then
disposed the chaff; you have become a groundnut, or a kernel shell-once the seed is out-the shell is of no use; Alhaji Tinubu, if care is not taken, you may soon become a FIRE BOOSTER, what Yoruba calls “Eesan.”

Before it gets to that point, you need to act fast, just as Abiola wisely did some thirty-three years ago by RESIGNING from NPN; you should bid All People Congress (APC) the Party of strange bed fellows, goodbye.

Never be carried away by your Poison Antidote-you may suffer multiple bites from these vipers leading to incremental poison, which may render your antidote ineffective.


Advice and Conclusion......

Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you are no longer a novice to Nigerian politics, after all, you are a master, neither are Hausa-Fulani politics strange to you. Hausa-Fulani are power hungry, power thirsty, and can go any length in pursuit of to sustain their parasitic social and economic life. Because of their greed and penchant for power, they are not ready share power with anyone, even if you share same faith and beliefs with them; or holier than them.
My advice to you is to follow a pathway of wisdom, leave this club of darkness, reconcile with those you had wronged in your political journey-Afenifere, Yoruba Council of Elders, your former deputies, political sons and daughters, which you may need in the future.

Finally, go and create a new coalition, which this primitive, outdated, and old-fashioned sixth century sheikh-like system may found too sophisticated to challenge.
Reach out to Igbos, allay their fears; beg the Niger-Delta, should they have any grievances against you; work with Yoruba brethren in Kwara and Kogi, let them know, what is at stake-their independence or continued slavery under Fulani yoke in their homeland.
Remind them of labors and tears of late Josiah Olawoyin and Cornelius Adebayo.
Liaise with folks in Benue and Plateau, who had become stepping-stone to Hausa-Fulani’s rise to power-remind them of their hero- J.S.Tarka; sympathize with them on several losses from Arewa decades of butchery.
Seek the Southern Kaduna or Gbagyi/Gbari people out, the aborigines that have suffered so much from Fulani tormentors in the past two hundred years.
Build a network with Adamawa, Jukun, Seyawa, and other Northern Nigerian minorities and Christians, who have suffered so much in the land their ancestors, bequeathed to them; reach out to Ibibio, Efik, Anag, Ikwerre. Visit Ijaw, Ogoni, Kalabari, Ndoni, Okrika, thank them for their magnanimity of over five decades of continued feeding Nigerians from their wealth, while they are hungry.
Let them know you feel for those years of plunder without a plough back.
Alhaji Tinubu, stretch your hands across Niger.
You may become another M.K.O., perhaps, another June 12 may come your way or through your anointed political son, which may be far better than 1993’s.
Then the real meaning of your name B.A.T., Be Agent (of) Transformation becomes a reality.
I hope you won’t push this advice aside; remember, “To Obey is better than Sacrifice.” I thank you for taking time to read this letter.
May You Have PEACE.

Sincerely,
DON DOKUN SEUN ---- A COMMENTATOR ON ECONOMIC,
SOCIO-POLITICAL AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

APC is not a political party, but just a coalition of diverse interest groups. Their is a direct relationship between buhari attitudinal dispositions towards governance and the negative things said about him before he was elected.

Buhari cannot change,Asiwaju went into the political marriage without taking into consideration the outlined historical facts

Lessons:
Do not sacrifice your people on the alter of political exigencies and personal ambitions.


Awolowo is the best SW politician of all time cos he never betray his people for personal self aggrandizement in whatever form.

But why are you quoting me, why u nor just find ur own space and write . Wetin I do u na

This was a brilliant piece but a little loophole asiwaju leaving the party to float a new party is not a good idea at all it's like going back to square one and he is old I don't think he as the strength enough to run around like before.have watched asiwaju way of playing politics for awhile and I think the best thing for him is to take back the rein of the party from those that are trying to diminish him.they can't match him head to head not sure the like of fayemi from ekiti need a little tackle and he is gone,fashola would not be even hard at all and most of people that call themselves the president men but floating a new party ain't a good idea

Must you quote everything?? Its anoying if you don't knw. Better go back and modify your post before i call mynd44 to do the needfull.

Without the political marriage Tinubu's ACN will only End along lagos -lbadan express way.
He can't even deliver all ijebu, talk less of Ondo & Ekiti

All for nothing sell, sell, sell
Just to be a mere vice president.
History is history .
Tunubu is blind and buhari is deaf.

hucienda:
Nice write-up Don.

But the question to discerning minds is why was there no southern solidarity from the Tinubu-led SW in 2015? Afterall, the south was in power.

It'd be a tall order reconciling the SW and SS masses - with Tinubu being publicly humiliated atm ironically by the man he fought to bring to power against his fellow southerner - after the bitter contest of last year. Should the south miraculously unite though, it will be a very, very powerful block. Afterall, they have more or less similar ideologies, are educated and progressive minded.

Interesting times ahead.

Because his eyes were greedily fixated on riding on Buboos back to Aso rock and failed to realize that Fulanis don't share power with anyone.

Only a southern unity can challenge Fulani hegemony but unfortunately those selfish willing tools amongst the elite/political leaders easily fall prey to the divide and rule tactics from the north.

Southerners misused the opportunity presented by GEJ presidency to change their political destiny forever and the likes of OBJ, Tinubu, Ameachi, Rochas, Oshiomole e.t.c aren't innocent of that blunder due to their selfish interests.

Their divide and rule tactics has been working and the tempo will still continue if southerners and part of north central fails to wise up and come together for a common goal.

Thiefnubuu political career is over. Saraki will continue to deal with him

Guseh:


Their divide and rule tactics has been working and the tempo will still continue if southerners and part of north central fails to wise up and come together for a common goal.

The south wasted the opportunity presented by GEJ presidency.

However another opportunity beckons with Tinubu present brouhaha and I hope southerners will wise up and do the needful but my concern are the new set of power brokers that'll be prop up by northern establishment against southern interests.

The Igbo vs Yoruba rivalry needs to be addressed / set aside for a better, cohesive and stronger south.

This is the best advice for Jagaban but can he leave Prof. Osinbajo in APC?

"Visit Ijaw, Ogoni, Kalabari, Ndoni, Okrika, thank them for their magnanimity of over five decades of continued feeding Nigerians from their wealth, while they are hungry.
Let them know you feel for those years of plunder without a plough back."

I endorse this!

The ND regions have fed this Nigeria for years. I think it's high time we appreciated them. God bless the South South and Niger Delta.

@Topic.. lovely write-up. I used to have pity for BAT but not anymore when I did my research and found out that there is no time at all in history when this guy pursued any Yoruba interest. He was quick to hail the withdrawal of the forgery case against Saraki and the IPod Igbo. Like seriously? That was the height of Afonjanism!
nonsense.

Awolowo is the best SW politician of all time cos he never betray his people for personal self aggrandizement in whatever form.

God bless you. I love that man Awo no be small.

APC is not a political party, but just a coalition of diverse interest groups. Their is a direct relationship between buhari attitudinal dispositions towards governance and the negative things said about him before he was elected.
Buhari cannot change,Asiwaju went into the political marriage without taking into consideration the outlined historical facts

bros try to be economical with space
recession dey na

There is a good reason for him hailing the withdrawal of forgery case against saraki/ekweremadu. Its the beginning of the great RE STRATEGISING he's started already. If the current cabal is trying to buy the middle belt/southeast/southsouth over through Saraki/ekweremadu, then this means Asiwaju is 'on point' to have hailed the withdrawal also. This is because the new Realignment that is been worked on currently has its strong hold in the south and the middle belt. And either we like it or not, these two men have some major followership among their people.

For now, this is the reality of nigerian politics. Asiwaju would have dealt himself a major blow if he had not contested the 'Bridge Building' with the cabals by not also hailing the withdrawal. im sure both Saraki and Ekweremadu got the signal already. Forming one anti corruption agent doesn't cut it right now, a very serious and jealous bridge building is needed seriously.

I must say that the moment I read Tinubu hails the withdrawal...my respect for Asiwaju doubled immediately because I understood he's back on the field working on his plan B instantly.

Nigerian politics ehn.
