The north has an agenda for Buhari’s presidency… and Tinubu is not part of it – Femi Aribisala
APRIL 19, 2015

by Kolapo Olapoju

Femi Aribisala, controversial scholar and international affairs expert, is of the opinion that by the time Muhammadu Buhari is sworn in as presidency, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, may become expendable.

Aribisala in an interview with Vanguard, believes that the northerners have an agenda, which will become known after May 29.

He says that despite the fact that Tinubu made Buhari the presidential candidate of the APC, he could not deliver the votes of the South-West, and this would work against him.

“I don’t agree that Tinubu made Buhari the president. Let’s get the facts right. Tinubu made Buhari the presidential candidate of the APC. But in the presidential election, Buhari did not win Tinubu’s votes. And that is part of the problem. All the discussion before was that everything would be determined in the South-West, but Tinubu did not deliver the South-West.”

“The margin of defeat in the presidential election was not much in Lagos. Tinubu, to some extent at the presidential level, is expendable. And that is the problem. You can actually not choose a president just from the North. It interests me that while the campaign was going on, all the northerners making noise that it was their turn disappeared.”

“They did not campaign with Buhari. The people campaigning were Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola. I bet you that the northerners are going to come out come May 29. And you will see it happen. Don’t think that the people that had been clamouring for power to return to the North in the past six years, were doing that for Tinubu to inherit. I don’t believe that. They have an agenda. That is why I said the story is not told because the election has taken place, the story will unfold when the administration comes on board.

Who does not know the north has an agenda?

Do you think that they sacrificed their children to be kidnapped and raped, and their infrastructures destroyed through self bombing just for Tinubu to call the shots?

Mba, the north has an agenda quite right.

They have started by laying claim to the positions of Senate president and Speaker of the House simultaneously.
This is the 1st time any region will be asking for both seats in addition to the presidency at thesame time.

The malams have definitely arrived.

Am sure what the North is cooking will not be funny to the south!

Final nailing of the coffin of southerners aspiring to ever rule united Nigeria again !!

Sharia is smelling around already!

Black market of petrol the main job of almajiri is already back and strong.

Back to the days of Abacha......!

FastShipping:
Aribisala is delusional, confused and disoriented after the loss of Jonathan. If Tinubu did not deliver South-west, can Aribisala tell us how many states buhari won in the South-west? The last time I checked, Buhari won five states in the West.

SLIDEwaxie:
tinubu didn't deliver SW, and nobody delivered any region, the people simply wanted change and they went for it.

Tinubu cannot ask anybody to vote for anybody in the SW, the people will simply go for their will.

Example: he lost Ondo and ekiti guber poll. Oya, talk another one
