Failure To Unveil Shettima: Has Tinubu Been Checkmated ? by Penguin2: 8:51pm On Jul 14, 2022 |
It was reported earlier today that the official unveiling of Alhaji Kashim Shettima was postponed by the APC national headquarters without offering any reason for such postponement. However, any follower of events since Shettima was announced by Tinubu as the APC substantive running mate, would agree that the uproar and backlash that the choice has generated must have been the major reason for the postponement. Could it be that APC want to make a last minute substitution of Shettima? Or could it be that they want to take time to pacify aggrieved parties within the APC especially the Christian bloc who have vehemently rejected the choice of Shettima as running mate? But whichever reason it is, Tinubu is checkmated. I mean, e don choke am; as in, e hang like fish bone for him throat. If he continues with Shettima, he would continue to lose support and supporters especially among Christians. Or how would you expect a Rotimi Amaechi who is a Knight in the Catholic Church to have the courage to campaign for a Muslim-Muslim ticket to Rivers people? Or how would you expect Umahi who is a Deacon in Christ Embassy to campaign for an all Muslim ticket? Or Oshiomole who is also a Catholic to really go about trying to convince Edo people to vote for an all Muslim ticket. These people and many others will be stoned by their people and might even be sanctioned by their pastors. Add that to the fact that the Christian community for whose reason he would be taking such action would still not be convinced as majority will see it that Tinubu has bared his fangs as someone who cares more about winning than the welfare and interests of Nigerian Christians. What if he drops Shettima? Another option left for Tinubu now is to make a last minute substitution of Shettima’s name and choose a Christian northerner to douse the tension generated by his choice of Shettima. But you know the implication of such action? First, Shettima, who is an ardent campaigner and follower of Tinubu will be demoralized and so would Babagana Zulum of Borno state. The implication is that these two men will no longer campaign for the Tinubu ticket with vigor and enthusiasm like they would have if Shettima is retained. Again, Tinubu’s supporters in Northeast in general, and Borno in particular, will feel angered hard done by such action and might abandon the support for Tinubu in protest which would now restrict Tinubu further to only Southwest and some states in Northwest (not guaranteed). So, you see, whatever Tinubu does now he’d be choked. The old man has been beaten in his own game and has now reached a political cul de sac. Penguin is a bird of reason. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

WATCHOVER: Isn't that what you people have been praying for? You need not worry about the ticket winning since he's made mistake already. You have forgotten that the other options available are difficult to sell too outside their region, or you think it's only religion that would be the determinant factor in this election?

VoteTinubu2023: If I were Tinubu, I would have fired you if you are amongst my campaign team because you are always out of touch with reality. Since about May of this year, people have been defecting from APC to other parties across the country… How many people has APC gained within the period under review? Or is politics no longer the game of numbers? 1 Like |

Instead of worrying too much about Tinubu and making him more popular, you know you can quietly vote for any of the candidates from the other 17 political parties in Nigeria? You can vote for Obi,Kwankwaso or even Atiku . We are in a democracy,democracy means APC and Tinubu can chose whoever they want as running mate just like PDP chose Atiku instead of a Southerner. Stop crying, you're making Tinubu more popular, those who have the votes in Nigeria will willingly and massively vote for Tinubu and if they don't then he will lose and that should make you happy. 3 Likes 1 Share |

there is no how Tinubu will lose with Shettima as his running mate and with Piety obi and kwankwaso on as different presidential candidates the statistics favour Tinubu, kwankwaso and PO in PDP would have been a strong battle, but with the two clowns hoping to win by landslide, na Atiku go suffer am |

I knew from the day tinubu won the primary that tinubu is a bad choice for apc,Osinbajo would have been better for apc a lots of youth will vote for Osinbajo, he will be paired will a strong northern Muslim like zulum or el rufai, buhari will campaign vigorously in the North for Osinbajo because he trust Osinbajo more than tinubu Osinbajo candidacy will balance Christian Muslim ticket and there won't be much uproar it would have been better for apc to anger tinubu than to pacify him and denied their sure banker tickets which will cost them because some northern Muslim in apc may not even be happy with the choice of shettima 1 Like |
