The dynamics of politics, the intrigues, suspense, backstabbings, permutations, postulations, tactical negotiations etc all came to bear in the ongoing internal squabble of the APC.
This week in particular is indeed dramatic as the political pendulum swung in the direction many keen political observers predicted as far back as 2015.
The major albatross bedeviling this contraption called Nigeria is the lack of trust amongst the 3 major ethnic groups.

Seasoned and experienced political voices with a good sense of Nigeria's political history though in the minority warned Senator Bola Tinubu about this strange alliance with the North he was leading with the intent of ousting PDP and Goodluck Jonathan.

Jagaban replied them in his speech at the inauguration of APC," if we sink in this alliance, so be it . But history will be fair to us that we rose to the occasion to salvage Nigeria from the grips of political and economic saboteurs"

He went ahead with the alliance in the hope of been appreciated and rewarded with the Presidency after Buhari's tenure. It was a risky game,but I can't blame him. No visionary leader could have watched the wantom impunity and executive recklessness of the PDP and stood aloof. The miasma of corruption around the Jonathan presidency was unbearable.

As if he saw the future, his prediction began to crystallize immediately the President was sworn in. About 80% of the names he forwarded for political appointments were replaced by the cabal who controlled the Presidency.

His only eye and voice in the Presidency, the vice president was rendered irrelevant and inconsequential in the scheme of things.
The ultimate agenda was to silence him, grind him to a powder like substance and blow him in to the air of political Oblivion at least at the Federal level.

It is an open secret that the political elites of the North are scared of Asiwaju's political brilliance and are envious of the influence he wields across-the-board.

They couldn't have been comfortable with him. They fear he might actualise the restructuring agenda that Nigerians have clamoured for to address the political inequality in the polity.

The President had become the proverbial falcon who no longer heeds the falconer.
As it stands today, the Asiwaju camp seem to be licking their wounds, but the game is far from over. He still commands an army of dedicated loyalists who may decide to play along or sink the ship.

All of these makes 2023 presidency all the more interesting because no one can say with certainty which zone will produce the President. Certain elements in the North wants power to remain there to compensate and complete Yaradua's tenure.

A wounded Tinubu has given a boost to the extension of Northern Presidency as the south can't boast of any other politician that matches Tinibu's clout.
With the possibility of PDP fielding Atiku for 2023, APC might as well choose a Fulani flag bearer.
The south may have to wait till 2027 to taste the Presidency again.
Peradventure the APC decides to relinquish power to the south come 2023, they will hand pick a southern puppet they can control. The Asiwaju I know is not a political puppet.

Where does this leave Tinubu? May be he isn't destined to be President, may be.

How far that 2015 bridge ...hope it has dried ?

This is not about philosophical... North want to retain the presidency by undermining Buhari's government with BH and Bandits attacks..

If they are expecting SW to turn their region to a war zone just to prove unnecessary point, North can retain the presidency..

All I know is, if Buhari and your imaginary cabal do not hand over power to Tinubu or Osinbajo in 2023, they will handover to PDP.
They can chose their choice.

Lol now it's trying luck ? Thought it was sure 75% of northern vote ...

Buhari has chosen a successor. I will keep it secret. This successor has been with Buhari from his APP through ANPP , CPC days and APC. A trusted ally, quiet and a former governor. The only candidate for VP is who we do not know yet.
As for PDP, except Buhari changes gear on this successor, their 2023 project of Tambuwal/Wike may head nowhere as this successor would have North and Southern support. On your guess, please count so over ambitious godfathers out.

Forget Tinubu and Osinbajo. They cannot get more than 5m votes nationally. Tinubu will get majority of SW votes, no doubt. Beyond that where else? In fact forget SW. APC cannot risk their 2019 gamble unless Buhari is in the ballot.

Rubbish useless write up
