2019 And The Possibility Of A Tinubu Presidency by orshiayoh: 5:30am On Oct 19, 2017
2019 AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A TINUBU PRESIDENCY
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of Nigeria’s finest political strategists. He is the leader of South-West and one of the political actors that have defined the political and economic direction of the Yoruba people.
In 2011, Asiwaju dissatisfied with the preliminaries leading to an alliance between the defunct Congress of Progressives Change of Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the Action Congress of Nigeria accepted the offer of a Presidential handshake from then President and candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Goodluck Jonathan leading to the victory of the PDP in the presidential elections. The bargain though not watertight was observed in breach.
The story changed in 2015 and there was a successful merger between four major opposition political parties namely: the Congress of Progressives Change, CPC, Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, All Nigerian People’s Party, ANPP and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA. This gave birth to the All Progressives Congress, APC and eventual defeat of an incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan, a feat never recorded in the political history of Nigeria.
The pragmatic Asiwaju Tinubu had negotiated the Yoruba interest and ensured its materialization. The Vice Presidential seat and other sensitive appointments at the Federal level were given to the Yorubas and even non-Yorubas but based on the recommendations of Asiwaju Tinubu.
In spite of his successes as a political kingmaker, the Tinubu presidential project has refused to disappear on the national political map. While it was carefully managed prior to the 2015 general elections, the Tinubu for President Project has gained momentum and threatening to shake not just the soul of the coalition All Progressives Congress but tear the nation’s political fabric. Major events in the last few weeks have indicated a united Yoruba resolve to take a shot at the Presidency come 2019 with Tinubu as the willing and capable tool. First, Asiwaju Tinubu, a man known for his careful engagement with the media, ‘carelessly’ unveiled his 7-Point Agenda. This was followed with the declaration by a former National Chairman of the APC and a Tinubu trusted associate, Chief Bisi Akande that the APC Presidential ticket for 2019 is contestable. Dele Momodu, a respected Columnist and fan of Asiwaju Tinubu released a Backpage Column dissecting the Akande Declaration and its positive implications.
Unfortunately, the Buhari political structure is highly regional and his lieutenants are carried away by the fragrance of power. While they are busy fighting the Waziri Adamawa and the only cosmopolitan politician of Northern extraction, Atiku Abubakar, ahead of the 2019 Presidential race, the Asiwaju team is already prepared for the must watch match!
