Osinbanjo Presidency Is The Root Of The Political Quagmire We Are Facing by FeloniousFelon: 4:30pm On Aug 06, 2017
Be it the cabal (a bunch of unelected bureaucratic apolitical appointees), the CPC faction of the APC (drawn mainly from ultra conservative Islamic northern supremacist fundamentalist), PDP, nPDP faction of the APC and the powerful bloc of retired military Generals, one thing is widely agreed- Osinbanjo can not lead.


Depending on who you ask, the answer will be a resounding NO but their reasons are widely varying. But what is widely agreed is Osinbanjo's total lack of leadership traits and his unwavering loyalty first and foremost to Bourdillon stands as a deterrent to support his elevation to the Presidency.



Osinbanjo hasn't done much other than literally attempt to become an example of Buhari's plagiarism by attempting to appear to belong to no one but to all. This has only made him to appear weak and indecisive!

Osinbanjo, in trying vainly to be loyal to his absentee principal in the eyes of the cabal will venture into an unnecessary confrontation with the Senate over the confirmation of a discredited nonentity(Magu) who he was not in anyway privy to his (Magu) initial nomination for the post as EFCC boss. This move alone has lost Osinbanjo the much needed bi-partisan support in the National Assembly.

The initial hesitation of the cabal to allow Osinbanjo sign the 2017 budget and the mockery of swearing in ministers without attaching portfolios plus the dangerous trend of the current Army chief reshuffling strategic command structures without due consultation with Osinbanjo leaves no one in doubt that Osinbanjo is literally "acting" the role of acting President.

But however, the defining issue over nobody wanting to stake and waste their reputation supporting a substantive Osinbanjo presidency has to be 2019.

Buhari, at best (for him only) will not be contesting for re-election come 2019. And Buhari's return is now an issue you can put your wallet where your mouth is on Bet9ja. Meaning: that everyone in the know and with a functional brain isn't expecting to see Buhari until the next life.

What the various power blocs highlighted early in this thread are in agreement with apart from Osinbanjo's lack of leadership is that Osinbanjo can not be trusted as an unbiased umpire come 2019.

Osibanjo is not the president of Nigeria so there's nothing like Osibanjo's "Presidency".

Now afonjas can appreciate GEJ for his deft moves in conning the Muslims in NASS to confirm him president.


I know you parade yourself here as an Urhobo (maybe the wayo type) but tell your self deluded king makers of Afonja waste land to repeat their false claims of making GEJ president in 2009 or forever STFU!
