Recently it has been said several times that the rift between governor Ambode and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to do with the failure of Ambode to give Bola Tinubu his financial due as his godfather. Going by our politics in Nigeria we it is not a hidden fact that for one to get a political position, one has to fulfil certain conditions which may include presenting some amount of money, doing fetish things; etc. Failure to settle the godfather after getting the position will lead to massive disagreements and potential benching of the political son. A clear example is Ngige and Christian Ubah in Amanbra state. Ubah did not hide the nature of their agreement and Ngige repeatedly told us how much Ubah wanted from the state account monthly.

We know that Bola Tinubu used his power as the godfather of ACN and eventually APC in Lagos to get his wife the senate seat she presently occupies. In this ongoing disagreement between Tinubu and Ambode some thoughts have come to my mind about Senator Remi Tinubu:

1. To secure the seat she presently occupies what were the agreements enterred into between her and her husband guaranteeing her the seat while he remains the godfather in Lagos?

2. In a state where there is a godfather, do the political office holders settle the godfather to keep their seats? Now that her husband is the godfather does Senator Remi Tinubu settle her husband to guarantee her seat? If so where is the evidence?

3. Is there no other person who can represent Lagos in that senatorial zone and who can do better than her?

4. Going by the fact that her Asiwaju Tinubu is the godfather, how long will she remain in the senate?

5. Are the seats of other senators in Lagos state safe and secure like that of Mrs. Tinubu considering that there are other interested aspirants within the APC?

6. If it is true that the inability of the godson to fully 'settle' the godfather will lead to his removal, then what will happen if Mrs. Tinubu refuses to 'settle' her own godfather?

7. Just like Sanwo-Olu has been empowered by the godfather - Tinubu - to challenge and remove a sitting governor, can any aspirant challenge Mrs. Tinubu over her own senatorial seat in that same party while the godfather still reigns?

8. How can we rate the performance of Mrs. Tinubu as a senator? If she does not do well do her constituents have any right to try to complain and remove her?

9. How does she settle her godfather? Is it in cash or in kind, seeing that her godfather is her husband and the two of them and their family is already super rich?

Sincerely I know that in all these Nigerians are losers particularly those at the bottom of the ladder who have to do all the work, queueing up to votes either in the delegate system or the direct primaries with 1000 naira in their pockets and sell their birthrights. We must begin to wake up from our slumber and look in the face of some of our political office holders and the so called godfathers with a clear demand for accountability. A man who had no office, shop or how much more a factory suddenly goes from nothing to uncommon wealth must be held to account. A leader who misuses power given to him by the people must be held accountable. Democracy does not demand that the godfather should remove a performing office holder who tries to make life better for the masses rather than the godfather himself. The masses need to wake up in this country otherwise we will go from bad to worse.

Welcome to SHYTE HOLE politics!

This your question long for nothing o, repetitive.

What is the opposite of godfatherism?

That should be the answer you seek.

This is a godhusband here and not godfather!
