Buhari's Campaign Crumbles by Nobody: 7:15am On Feb 06, 2015
It’s fight to finish as
a cold war between the
ex-dictator and his
running mate gets
worse by the hour
Guardian News - Houston, TX - Complexities
behind an alleged cold war between the
presidential candidate of All Progressive
Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari
(Rtd), and his running mate, Dr. Yemi Osinbajo
are getting worse, and have divided the campaign
train into two combative segments, International
Guardian reliably gathered. A campaign senior
officer who spoke to our field reporters on strict
anonymity confirmed the tension, and indicated
that Dr. Osinbajo and some of his close campaign
allies have been excluded in several major
stakeholder meetings lately.
The war between the two presidential partners
started shortly after Buhari presented Osinbajo,
the professor of law and former attorney general
and commissioner for Justice in Lagos state, as
his running mate mid-December. Dr. Osibanjo
had expressed regrets that Buhari did not trust
him but had no choice selecting him because he
was pressured by the party chieftains, including
former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, and a
cohort of south west governors, Bisi Akande.
Another bitter moment soon emerged in the same
month when Buhari was speaking during a
campaign rally in Owerri, Imo State and wrongly
introduced his running mate as “Professor Yemi
Osinbade.” The news permeated the social media
fuelling speculations that the ex-war lord may be
battling age-related heath issues. To worsen the
situation, the speculation that Buhari’s may not
make it through a four-year term if he won
because of a visibly deteriorating health made it
to the media and fuelled a suspicious relationship
between General Buhari’s camp and Dr. Osibanjo.
Buhari had allegedly accused the Tinubi/Osibanjo
camp of praying for his death – a situation
similar to the late President Shehu Musa
Yar'Adua when critics accused former President
Olusegun Obasanjo of nominating a sick
candidate to jeopardize chances allotted to the
Northern zone in the party.
Less than 10 days to the election, issues of lack
of trust and collaboration between General Buhari
and Dr. Osibanjo has become even more
noticeable. It was alleged that Buhari’s camp
secretly trails and records all campaign
appearances by Dr. Osibanjo to micromanage his
strategies, speaking lines and comments.
Consequently, the General it was alleged had
summoned Dr. Osibanjo several times over
comments and stories attributed to him in the
media, International Guardian reliably gathered.
The last straw over a strained relationship
occurred a few days ago after a secret meeting
between General Buhari and Chief Tinubu was
revealed in the media. Tinubu, it was gathered
had purportedly negotiated with the General over
allocation of oil wells in the Niger Delta as
compensation for electioneering support and huge
financial investment in the party from the stage of
negotiations for merger and registration as a
political party to the entire campaign
engagements. Party stalwarts allied to Dr.
Osibanjo were furious that they were excluded
from the meeting. Tinubu’s camp were also
furious about the outcome of the meeting which
resulted in lengthy hours of horse-trading and
arguments. Buhari, it was alleged, had not been
transparent with the group over his collaboration
and agreement with key members of the Northern
Leaders Political Forum. “Buhari has not invested
a kobo in this campaign from the word go and
should not even talk in this meeting,” an
aggrieved member from Tinubu’s camp said.
As of press time, Buhari’s campaign is reported
to be in tatters, pitting two major groups in a cold
war over pre and post-election allocation of
power and resources. Key party members
contacted by International Guardian’s campaign
reporters declined any categorical comments.
“Parties do have issues – yes we have issues
just like other campaigns, but those will not stop
our victory come February 14” a member said. .

Ehijeremiah. Yes. If the election were conducted last Saturday, GMB would have won convincingly. However, it seems PDP has succeeded in turning the table. And that is the more reason I'm curious as to why the Presidency is still scheming to have the election postponed.
