Wikileaks: "Buhari's Ethnocentrism Would Jeopardize Nigeria's Unity" - Tinubu by neocortex(op): 5:50am On Dec 25, 2014
Turning to the presidential contest, Tinubu disclosed that he does not like President Obasanjo because he contributed to the end of democracy in Nigeria during his tenure as a military president and is now benefiting from that history.

That said, Tinubu admitted that he and his party, the Alliance for Democracy, must support Obasanjo. Southwest Nigeria is Yoruba land and the President is Yoruba. Tinubu"s party had no choice since it has not fielded a presidential candidate. Moreover, Obasanjo is the only
candidate who stands a chance of blocking his rival, General Muhammadu Buhari, whose ethnocentrism would jeopardize Nigeria"s national unity.

Buhari and his ilk are agents of destabilization who would be far worse than Obasanjo. Tinubu and many other governors are therefore implementing a strategy to re-elect Obasanjo, partly in an effort to prevent Sharia from spreading. Tinubu predicted that the President will follow his own course, if re-elected, since he will not need as many friends the second time around.

9. (C) Bio comment. Tinubu is direct, articulate, and a sharp analyst who understands accommodation. He acknowledges the imperative of political compromise in the game for power, even with political actors whom he might be inclined to denigrate.

This is what tinubu told USA in secret. This same Tinubu is now trying to sell Buhari to us. From the cable it is clear that Tinubu is going against the interest of Nigerians by forcing Buhari on us.

I know that Nigerians will make informed choices come 2015.

The same Tinubu you guys love to hate is the person you quote for support? Shame no dey catch una?

Anyway, he could have said anything at any point in time to justify his position then. Remember this was in 2003 and that's a whole 11 years ago! Haba Jonathanians!

And now that he has realized differently, it means he was wrong in his belief initially then.

That was when he neither knew the general well nor sought to know what he could do. More so, he was blindfolded by tribalism just the way some people are now but I want to believe he has known better now.

He's gotten to know him better and realized just like many, he was only basing his judgments of his person on mere insinuations.

Re: Wikileaks: "Buhari's Ethnocentrism Would Jeopardize Nigeria's Unity" - Tinubu by Nobody: 9:14am On Dec 25, 2014
This big fool will be defeated for the 4th time come 2015. 23 million nigerians rejected him in 2003, 22 million nigerians also rejected him him in 2007 and in 2011 more than 21 million nigerians said NO to him. I wonder how he will get a national acceptance, I am more than sure that 20 million nigerians will say HELL NO to him come 2015. Untill then, those satans that are already let loosed will burn and kill so many people in the pakistani region of northen nigeria. Merry christmas and happy new year.

Everyday,one wakes up to a new story from PDP and APC E-warriors.it is interesting to see users who tend to post rationally block all reasoning to follow a corrupt politician.
Re: Wikileaks: "Buhari's Ethnocentrism Would Jeopardize Nigeria's Unity" - Tinubu by fitzmayowa: 9:19am On Dec 25, 2014
Like they say in politics there is no permanent friend or enemy, there is only permanent interest...

And the permanent interest here is to take abuja from GEJ/PDP no matter the cost of doing it...

The same person tinubu said all those awful stuff about is now the messiah the same tinubu is trying to sell to nigeria, what an irony...SMH
