2019 Presidency President Buhari Settles Govs. El-Rufai, Aminu Masari’s War



Alhaji Aminu Masari and Alhaji Nasir El-Rufai are two trusted and reliable foot soldiers of President Muhammadu Buhari. Interestingly, they were both principal members of the PDP when the former Head of State first dumped the military garb and contested in 2003. Aminu and Nasir seem to have same records as regards political profiles.

The duo of Nasir and Masari both shifted base to the Buhari’s camp after the 2007 election.

While Aminu served as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nasir served as the Minister for FCT. Though the Kastina born retired General failed to achieve his political ambition in 2011, the seed of his eventual victory was sown and signs of recording electoral success in future were clear cognizant of the higher number of votes he recorded in 2011 in spite of having no serving governor as members of his party, the CPC.

The enviable political records, his ‘deterrent’ values and other factors got the APC ticket zeroed on him as the appropriate person to convince Nigerians and make them believe in the mantra ‘change’.

Following the electoral loss recorded at the poll by the PDP and the change in the political equation, APC ticket has become the most attractive and competitive at all levels. Though 2019 is still far away, the struggle for the tickets has begun in earnest. Many of the gladiators are banking on the calculation that the president might decide not to seek for re-election in 2019 and that he would root for the candidature of a trusted loyalist. Those eyeing the seat include Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, Senator Ahmed Yerima, Alhaji Aminu Masari, Alhaji Nasir El-Rufai and former VP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The silent battle for the possible presidential ticket, however, resulted in direct clash of interests involving supporters of the two serving governors, Aminu and Nasir and it led to competition for attention in the Buhari’s camp.

To save the situation, a meeting was convened and it had supporters from both sides in attendance, sources privy to what transpired at the meeting disclosed that supporters of the two governors were ordered to shelve talks about ambitions for now and have it in their subconscious minds that the president would seek for a 2nd term and that anything that would lead to a crack within the walls in the relationship involving the principal members of the Buhari’s inner caucus should be avoided.

Meanwhile, Governor Nasir El-Rufai is also facing a domestic challenge from Senator Shehu Sani.

The human right activist, we learnt wanted to give it all it takes in the battle for the Kaduna APC governorship ticket in 2014 but had to step down on Buhari’s instruction with the understanding that he would be compensated with a senatorial ticket, a promise that was ultimately kept. Sani, since emerging a senator is ever ready to throw onslaught and gauntlet in the governor’s camp and he freely expresses his determination to nurture his governorship dream into fruition.

Don't just go run mad one day o. Where did you see Tinubu's name in this write-up?!

Hmmmm.

It doesn't call for celebration or hurrah by any one/camp.
At that level and moment, theirs may have been settled; but as far as APC is concerned, it's a marriage of convenience, they are completely strange bed-fellows, united in evil, founded on lies.
So they can't live without serious frictions. Infact, the kinds of frictions that will become common place in the build up for 2019 can only be imagined

hmmmmmm

kodded:

tinubu how market

That is all I can do for you

What's wrong with El Rufai sef!!! He is fighting with everybody. The other day, l was the one that separated the fight between him and Osinbajo.

Hausa/Fulani and power! Tinubu and Amaechi are the ladder with which to climb it now.

Go boys!
