StOla:
Tinubu!

APC troubles started the day Buhari decided not to commit to deciding who would emerge as the leaders in the Senate and HOR.

While 50 APC Senators were waiting to see a president who was sleeping at the appointed time, Saraki with about 8 APC Senators and PDP senators conspired to deny his own fellow party Senators the privileged to cast their very 1st votes as elected representatives of their constituencies. Keeping in mind that the same APC had already held a party caucus mock election where Saraki had already lost to Ahmed Lawan.

Tinubu had already compromised on his preferred candidates of Sen George Akume and Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, who were the opposition APC leaders in the previous dispensation, and by right should have been elevated to the top position in the different chambers of the National Assembly - being the party with majority. Tinubu directed Akume to team up as deputy to Lawan, in deference to what was assumed the presidency preference for Ahmed Lawan.

Till today, the sleeping Buhari has refused to wake up to his responsibilities as the party leader, and no disciplinary action has been taken against Saraki and his supporting APC senators.

Oyegun as party chairman has also remained so useless and not commanding any iota of respect or authority from the rank and file of APC elected officials.

Next is the Kogi debacle that arose after Audu's death. Yahaya Bello was widely known to have been a supporter of Idris Wada of PDP, after Bello lost the APC ticket to Audu. Both Audu and Idris are Igala from the same senatorial zone, but a very popular Yahaya Bello ensured that even his own polling unit in the Ebira senatorial zone was won by Idris Wada of PDP. It is significant to note that as the 2nd runner up to Audu in the APC primaries, Yahaya Bello never attended any of the campaign rallies of candidate Abubakar Audu and running mate James Faleke, not even the ones held in his Ebira senatorial zone.

So after APC had won the election inconclusively, and had lost in Yahaya Bello's polling unit to PDP, the same anti-party Yahaya Bello was called upon to carry the party's banner in the contest over a mere 13,000 leftover votes upon Audu's demise, in preference over a running mate Jame Faleke who won his polling unit and senatorial zone for the party, and who actually campaigned for the success of the party.
Still Buhari was sleeping, and Oyegun remained useless. Anti-party activities was rewarded with an already won governorship.

Now, Ondo state primaries. Tinubu had his interest as other players had theirs too. Tinubu decides he will not support the same Akeredolu he brought to political limelight 4years earlier. Rotimi Akerodolu, SAN, was previously NBA national president, but without any political worth until Tinubu put his midas touch on him. Tinubu decides again to support another politically unknown person called Segun Abraham, Akeredolu and his team cried foul over Tinubu's support for another candidate, forgetting he was supported over others 4years ago.

What was expected was a fair primary where Tinubu's candidate would slug it out with other political interests candidates. Tinubu's candidate lost to Akeredolu and as 2nd runner up had conceded and congratulated Akeredolu, but withdrew his concession when facts emerged from the Boroffice and Oke camps that the Akeredolu camp had tampered with the delegates composition for the conducted primaries.

The party organ to review such complaints had found the accusations to be true and recommended a new primary election, useless Oyegun finally became useful in the truncation of party internal democracy, and rather ratified the fraudulent primary and confirmed Akeredolu an SAN and former NBA National President, as the winner in a fraud.

Tinubu withdrew his support and resources, and had his own candidate Abraham accept his fate in a jaundiced democratic party. Oke went on to decamp to AD to contest. President Buhari as party leader continued to sleep.

Luckily, the PDP regime of Mimiko was so terrible that even votes lost to Oke of AD, did not prevent APC from wining a PDP whose campaign promise was to finally pay the workers salary that they owed.
Tinubu immediately congratulated the winner he brought to political limelight, the party he helped form, the useless party chairman he brought into office, and the sleeping president he helped assume office. Tinubu craftily addressed president Buhari as the leader of the party. This was a deliberate admonition to the president to stop sleeping and take control of the party and stop being a spectator as APC falls apart under the leadership of a weak and useless party chairman who has refused to enforce party discipline, conduct the party convention for election into party leadership positions, and maintain the democratic ideals of the party.

[s]APC is on a time bomb. By this time next year - when the race for 2019 must have started, the party will probably collapse as the current situation in the party is beyond what we are all thinking. The hate, the division and the anomalies is there for the wise to see. [/s]

[s]Almost everywhere, the local APC are fighting each other.

- ElRufai vs Shehu Sanni - Kaduna
- El Rufai vs Atiku - National
- Gunduje vs Kwakwanso - Kano
- Okorocha vs Osita Okechukwu - SE Regional.
- Buhari vs Sanusi - National


Even Emir Sanusi has become an opposition to Buhari in many levels. Who knows whether he is fighting for his benefactor (Kwakwanso) who makes sure that he is installed the emir against other candidates.
Sanusi latest comment that CBN is illegally funding Buhari's government is damning and the NASS can easily seize on this to impeach Buhari.
Buhari is not a good politician by encouraging all this rancour and division within a party that just came into power last year.

Kwankwaso, Saraki and Sanusi are plotting Bubu's fall and novice are shouting Tinubu.
Buhari enemies are within his Northern Caliphate.
If for anything, Tinubu is only helping Buhari to retain power, just like he helped him to become the President.
Oyegun is clueless and has become a tool in the hands of Buhari's enemy[/s]

StOla:


He fought against imposition by accepting a primary fraught with fake delegates, an accusation confirmed by the party panel itself?

Why didn't he fight against the disastrous election at the National Assembly? Why didn't he prevent a Yahaya Bello that clearly worked against the party in the Kogi elections, from flying the party banner in the bye election?

Oyegun is a useless party chairman who has lost the respect of all and sundry in the APC. He commands no authority at all as party chairman.

FastShipping:


When did awarding contract become funding of party? It happens like that in the US too. Trump has started giving out positions to people who supported him from grassroot to the top. All of them can't get government post. Contract is a sure way also.

Abeymills:
Govt of lies n propaganda where is d 10,000 jobs promised by 1st of December

FastShipping:


He's a delusional old man. He doesn't want to be bothered. He believes we should sympathize with him. He also believe we should blame Jonathan and past presidents instead asking him to face the task at hand.

Buhari just want to be left alone to be president without doing the work of a president.

DIKEnaWAR:
This truth might be very bitter to stomach, but Tinubu lost relevance the day Aketi won Ondo without his help. Aketi tried with his help in 2012 and lost. Now he has won, further buttresses the fact that Tinubu is not god and can't make anyone...not now.

Anybody aligning with Tinubu now is asking to be sidelined. Expect many defections in the south west to the APC from other parties and their loyalty to Abuja instead of Tinubu. The man is finished! His problem is that he let the praise get into his head and thought too high of himself. He was fighting so many battles and persons at the same time. They have all conspired to pull the rug from his feet and he can't rise again. One secret you people don't know is that the only thing Tinubu wishes for is to reconcile with Buhari and displace Fashola and Co. Dazoll

Bye bye to Asiwaju.

Olabestonic001:


I don't see Tinubu being finished politically in this period of PMB's leadership of APC. The main issue is that PMB doesn't give jobs to boys that much and Tinubu is notorious for being that man that does that in quantum. While its easier to be happy to sly Tinubu today just to show how unhappy he is, soon they'll see that PMB doesn't give contracts and they'll begin to get unhappy with him.
And for Tinubu, I think he needs to tone down his greed otherwise, he will be politically naked soon. But, PMB even risked a rebellion against him by those boys.

FastShipping:


The same way PDP survived for 16 years. What is the matter with that? Give the party people contract to execute. You can't give all of them posts to occupy. Giving them contracts to execute is the only way to keep them happy.

Stalwert:


Contracts and appointments are very different things. Contracts go through due process to eliminate corruption and nepotism thereby ensuring competent company implement the contracts. I am shocked that you are demanding a return to the days of man know man .

DIKEnaWAR:


I like people who bring logic to an argument, without sentiment. You are very right, but what made you think Buhari won't start doling out jobs when he gets desperate? After all, the man has shown to be the most desperate politician alive!

When he cried at the ICC in 2011, I told my friends that Buhari should not be allowed near the Presidency. That a man for that office should know not to mix emotions with the demands of that office. That should this man win, sentiment would cloud all his actions in office and he displayed a desperation yet to be seen. As 2019 approaches, Buhari, the desperado shall rear his ugly head again and buy and bulldoze everyone out of sight. Where will Tinubu get the resources to match him? Lagos state? Osun state? His businesses?

We would soon see how corrupt or saintly Buhari is...
