Two Moslems as president and Vice President of Nigeria?

This tells much about the fact that the Moslems in Nigeria have no regards on non Moslems.

Noted

Ok

All, in all, the question is 'Does Nigeria as a whole benefit'.?

A former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has revealed how former President Olusegun Obasanjo truncated the ambition of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to become the running mate to Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), who was the APC presidential candidate in 2015.

Oyinlola explained that even though Obasanjo was the last person to throw his weight behind Buhari’s candidature, having opposed the re-election of the then President, Goodluck Jonathan, he was eventually prevailed upon to support the former military ruler.

In an interview with one of our correspondents, Oyinlola, who was once the military administrator of Lagos State, pointed out that there was already an agreement between Buhari and Tinubu before 2015 that they would be presidential and vice-presidential candidates respectively, a deal he said was initially hidden from most party members.

This development, according to him, led to some uneasiness in the party as they feared that a Muslim-Muslim ticket could cost the APC victory in the election, given the near-equal population of Christians and Muslims in the country and the sensitivity that surrounds religion issues in the country.

Prior to the 2015 elections, political parties always ensured their presidential candidates and their running mates emerged from the two dominant religions, with the only exception being the MKO Abiola/Babagana Kingibe candidacy on the platform of the Social Democratic Party in the June 12, 1993 election.

Even though Abiola and Kingibe, who were the presidential candidate and running mate respectively, eventually won the election, it is regarded as a one-off scenario. The election was later annulled by the regime of the then dictator, General Ibrahim Babangida.

Meanwhile, speaking further, Oyinlola explained that if not for Obasanjo’s intervention, the APC would likely have gone ahead with the Muslim-Muslim ticket and the party could have found it difficult to displace the government in power, especially when all reservations that surfaced over the proposed Muslim-Muslim ticket had been dismissed.

He added, “The agreement was concealed from a good number of the party leaders until it surfaced after Buhari had got the ticket. Then the rumour came out and some us felt danger was looming with the idea of Muslim-Muslim ticket. To further add to our fears, General Buhari on one occasion said there was nothing wrong in the Muslim-Muslim presidential arrangement, saying after all he governed with Tunde Idiagbon.

“That statement made us to know it (the Muslim-Muslim idea) was a fact. On two occasions, Bola (Tinubu) mentioned it in my presence that they agreed. If you recall one trending video back then, where it was said that Buhari had jettisoned what they agreed on, that is the room he was sleeping when Buhari was looking for the post.

“We then told Baba (Obasanjo). We told him that taking power from an incumbent government was a tough task and we must not give room for excuse and miss the target. We told him they (Buhari and Tinubu) were thinking of a Muslim-Muslim ticket. That was when Baba (Obasanjo) said people should not take the sensibilities of Nigerians for granted.”

He said after Obasanjo’s intervention succeeded in changing the decision, some people started spreading the news that Obasanjo frustrated the plan to make Tinubu the vice-presidential candidate.

He added, “After that (Obasanjo’s intervention), they started saying it in my presence that Obasanjo frustrated the plan to get Tinubu on the ticket for 2015 but I always acted as if I didn’t hear them. We then had a stakeholders meeting where the issue of the running mate was discussed again.”

In addition to Obasanjo’s input, Oyinlola said a former governor of Gombe State, Danjuma Goje, also cautioned against the Muslim-Muslim ticket, especially because the party needed all the votes it could get from different parts of the country.

He added, “At the meeting, ex-governor Goje, rose up and said in the northern part, there is negligible number of Christians. He said the APC would need every vote to upstage the incumbent, so nobody should toy with the idea of a Muslim-Muslim ticket and everybody concurred. I think it was even Bola (Tinubu) that suggested that the matter should be taken before some leaders to resolve. But we never saw anything like that again.”

Meanwhile, Tinubu had said at the 7th annual Bola Tinubu colloquium at Eko Hotel in Lagos on March 25, 2015, two days before the election, that he pulled out of the contest.

He had said, “They attacked General Buhari, saying he would not subject himself to a primary. He did and won it as our party held the most open and transparently honest convention ever held in Nigeria. They said I connived and conspired my way into the VP seat. They lied so easily that it was the price I extracted from General Buhari to support his bid. If not, I would destroy the party on the altar of my ambitions.

“They were wrong. I pulled myself out of contention. The very brilliant and capable Prof Yemi Osinbajo became our VP candidate. A man of integrity and impeccable character. Alas, this sent Jonathan’s henchmen into disarray. In the quiet of their private closet, even they could see clearly enough through the darkness of their own hearts to recognise that our ticket was so much better than theirs.”

WHAT IS EVEN IN THAT VICE PRESIDENT POSITION?

The Vice President only enjoy power when the President dies or got impeached.

The senate President is even more powerful than the Vice President Office.

See how Buhari turned Professor Yemi Osinbanjo into a MARKET BOY under the tradermoni programme.

Did you see Saraki being used for such erand job?

Brig General Olagunsoye Onyinlola ( rtd ) should not be saying things that is inconsequential?

ThatFairGuy1:
Nabena is mad for the statement below.

What is the population of Osun State that they gave the party in the first place?"


Though oyinlola is inconsequential as he claimed.
Ordinary his polling booth he couldn't win for APC not to talk of his hometown.

If not because of Inisa and Oyan, APC would have lost the local government to PDP

and this same oyinlola was a Christian governor with a Christian deputy Governor and a Christian chief of staff for almost 8 years

okay hmm

Who cares ?

Racoon:
[i][/i] This is another truth they have been denying especially their zombies here.A man of integrity indeed.

Who said this? Oyegun?

Tinubu would have found a means of executing buhari when he was sick had it been he was the VP

Oga shut up with this useless news abeg

nony43:
Obj never supported Buhari at first just that he got no option then, and he had an outstanding beef with Gej.

OBJ didn't want GEJ to win. Because GEJ did not become his errand boy as he expected. OBJ would have supported Shekau the Boko leader. That is how hateful and vindictive OBJ is.

We all have to live with the calamity of Buhari regime. Nobody is safe from bandits, herdsmen and kidnappers now.

GEJ wan remove oil bloc from their hands and yet the people are blind to understand all these things...It is called alliance of interest... Selfish or not.

Obasanjo knows Buhari like a father knows a child, he gave him his first ever appointment in governance as a young soldier and minister of petroleum

So Obasanjo knows what he was saying, claiming Buhari is incompetent especially on Economic issues


.

Obasanjo knew he was incompetent but still supported him because of hate, selfishness, ego etc

How on earth would such a country move forward?

Nigeria doesn't suppose to be one country. It is obvious Fulani and Yoruba ethnic extremists were behind all the noise and violence witnessed during the build up to 2015.

They made the atmosphere charged so they could legitimise their plans to rig the polls.

If you have taking your time to read you won't sound like the real extremists

Not ego or any silly sentiments got Jonathan out of office but poor performance

And the one who called Fulani and Yoruba in a simple political discuss on Obasanjo's choice is the biggest Tribalistic bigotic hypocrite

It is either you are stupid or you think the rest of us are stupid!

Obviously the later is quite correct... 15 million PVC holders voted against Jonathan, Same voted for Buhari twice... So only a dumb fool blames Obasanjo for collective decision of over 14million voters...

You lost so deal with your loss , that's politics.. your choice was rejected accross Nigeria, same people that gave him vote in 2011 decided against voting him, that's their choice

Nigeria lost and Nigeria will keep on losing because it is a fraudulent society, a society built on bigotry.

I am glad Buhari got a 2nd term because the destruction of Nigeria will be faster.

In retrospect I thank God Jonathan had one term.

Hopefully another Fulani or Northerner will continue from wherever Buhari stopped.

While people like you pray for destruction of Nigeria,many pray for Nigeria's upliftment

If you were God, whose prayer would you answer?! The Destruction or the Upliftment

Bitterness is self destructive and people would continue to avoid bitter , hateful people.. even if they call it bigotry or Marginalisation or Xenophobia

God will answer the prayer of people like me who have been subjected to hate and marginalisation in the last 60 to 70 years.

People Nigeria has taken all from and given them nothing in return.

Who can summarize this?

Read It, oh Lazy Youth

Mr. Bitumen who failed woefully as Lagos State Military Administrator and left much rot and corruption driven and poorly executed public roads and infrastructural projects as Osun State Governor should be quiet. No thanks to the bull in a China shop tongue of Chief Bisi Akande which allowed for Oyinlola to be Governor. Osogbo lost the opportunity to have the Government House close by the Oba Palace as planned by Chief Bisi Akande. Doubtful if it’ll be any longer. Folks who chased away the contractors from that site are paying with ignominious endings in life.

Take a closer look at the Constitution and you will see the role of the VP discloses great opportunities to make impact in governance. This is not about power mongering as it is about making impact in governance. By the way, how has Saraki fared with all the supposed power? He sure regrets calling the VP names!!
