President Muhammadu Buhari has been enjoined to reciprocate the firm support leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Bola Tinubu gave him in the South West which largely resulted in his victory in the 2015 presidential election.

Leader of Arewa in the South, Alhaji Musa Saidu, recalled that it was the vote from the South West that gave Buhari the needed spread to be declared winner of the election ,adding that it was time for the President to reward the tremendous support of Tinubu for the 2023 presidential election.

Continuing, he said it was the first time in the political history of the country that the South West will throw its weight behind a northern presidential candidate in block, stressing that it was a major risk Tinubu took to forge that unity between the north and the South.

”The results of the 2015 elections are in the public domain for all to see . The only part of the country that stood with north for Buhari was the West. And it was the first time the North and South West forged a common political unity. “.

”Tinubu made the relationship possible. Buhari should support Tinubu. Good must be rewarded with good. If he fails to support Tinubu for the 2023 presidential election it will paint the picture of an ungrateful north”

“I am advising the Vice President that it was Tinubu that made him politically. He should not allow ambition destroy his relationship with Tinubu. If Tinubu says he doesn’t want to contest it’s a different thing. He should be very careful not to spoil a good relationship between him and Tinubu.“

“The Yorubas deserve the presidency , they supported Buhari. What Tinubu is suffering today is because of the support he gave Buhari. “.

“I speak for the poor people in the north. They want to enjoy the new relationship between the north and the West that Tinubu made possible. Nothing should be done to paint the Hausa man as ungrateful people”.

“I am helping our poor people in the north so that we can build the relationship between the north and the South West. Most of the northern peasants are in Internally displaced persons camps, IDP camps. “

” The north should stand by Tinubu because of the way he mobilized the South West for Buhari.”

Saidu further advised former President Goodluck Jonathan to stay away from the presidential election, adding that he should not allow himself to be deceived into the race to lose at the end of the day.

“The former President should not allow himself to be drafted into the presidential race and at the end of the day he loses. If it is true that he is preparing to cross over to the APC, I advise him to drop the idea. The coast doesn’t appear clear for him now to return as president of the country “

“Anybody telling Jonathan to come and be president is deceiving him. My advise to Jonathan, he should not be deceived.”

How many months to election una still dey cry of supporting tilumbu like an orphan

I thought the fraud made the sophisticated partnership with buhari very clear in 2015

Someone has been used and dumped

CannibalTorment:
Are you complaining on behalf of Tinubu?

Truthisunique:
His tears and complains in Akande book needs to be amplified

CannibalTorment:
You mean he wrote Akande's book for him, where is the tears and complains when he was aspiring to become the vice President, even when he is at advantage presently compare to Peter Obi and Atiku that did not stand a chance

PrinceOfLagos:

When u hear dem talking abt unity, u will think dey love the country and ppl from other tribe and religion. This statement made by saidu, does it portray unity in any way?

Dsalvo:


How come you can interpret what is simple so wrong? What concerns unity here? The man is simply talking about being honorable, not damaging productive relationship and, most importantly, the folly of preventing those who have sown faithfully to reap the rewards of their labour.

He is doing exactly what I predicted precisely we will begin to see in 2022.

I stated it that many Northerners are not happy with Buhari and his cabal who want to pay back Tinubu with treachery and damage what is potentially a good alliance that can be mutually beneficial for a long time.

This man, as I said would happen, subtly reminds Buhari that Northerners dont want to be seen as dishonorable ingrates because of his action.

I said many Northerners, silent till now, will begin to rise up against Buhari, in open defiance, in 2022 when it is clear issues are about the king is dead (Buhari) long live the new King.

For Northerners who support Tinubu, what is Buhari going to do to them after Tinubu wins and become President?

Meanwhile, what Tinubu can do for them as President is attractive and worth the risk of repercussion defying Buhari because, like it or not, Buhari is facing irrelevancy in a year once February 2023 Presidential election is concluded. He will be totally powerless after May 29th 2023 handover.

Yar Adua began reversing OBJ's policies barely 3 months in office despite the fact OBJ single-handedly made him President.

As other 'strong men' past Presidents/heads of state who seemed invincible in their time like IBB, OBJ, Abacha etal, Buhari will be past news once he leaves Aso Rock.

100% reality for pragmatic folks and ambitious people with vision. They will be thinking about the new regime already.

Politics is about permanent and future interest. Those who think Buhari can wave his fingers and anyone can be ruined or dismissed must not know a single Nigerian politician and how they think.
