Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is gradually regaining his lost ‘territories’ in the South West with support from Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the embattled national chairman of the party, Daily Independent has gathered.

A member of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said one of Oshiomhole’s major assignments since assuming office is to put some states in the South West that were hitherto out of Tinubu’s control under his command.

He said it is likely that he will also make incursions into other states such as Kogi and Kwara.

The states, according to him, are Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo and even Lagos, where the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, tried asserting his independence before he was subdued.

According to our source, Tinubu will likely take control of the political structures of Kogi State where his efforts to install one of his protégés, James Faleke, lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency as the deputy governor to the late Abubakar Audu, who died in November 2015 before a winner could be announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

But for high-level politics and opposition by the cabal and the former national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Faleke would have stepped in as the governorship candidate. However, the party gave it to Yahaya Bello, the incumbent governor, who came second in the primaries.

Our source, who said Tinubu is also making incursions into Kwara State, especially with the party’s victory in the just concluded bye election in the state, said the moves might not be unconnected with Tinubu’s rumoured presidential ambition in 2023.

He added that the recent impeachment of the principal officers of the Ondo State House of Assembly is also one of the moves to put Tinubu’s loyalists in charge.

He said, “Oshiomhole is doing Tinubu’s bidding. People like Amosun and Akeredolu know that and that is why they want him removed as national chairman.

“You can see what is going on in some states of the South West. They are trying to change the existing structures and put in those loyal to Tinubu.

“What is going on now is that those who fought with Tinubu during the tenure of Chief John Oyegun are now being attacked, people like Amosun, Fayemi, Akeredolu and others. It is more of a retaliation. He is trying to gain back the powers he had lost in the region. To do that, he has to use Oshiomhole to do the dirty job.

“Most of these things are just about the presidential ambition of one man in 2023”.

On the fate of Oshiomhole, he said majority of the party members want him out but are trying to be careful so the crisis won’t affect the party’s chances especially with few weeks to the general elections.

“Almost everybody in the party is not in support of him. They all want him to go. Those who are not coming out in the open, especially the ministers are doing so out of respect for President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The only thing is that we are trying to be careful so as not to give the opposition the opportunity to take advantage of the crisis in our party.

“If we say the national chairman is corrupt or he was removed because of financial misconduct that means he has to be arrested and tried. That is what the party stands for, fighting of corruption.

“Already, the Buhari administration has been accused of shielding corrupt APC members. So, if this happens in the case of the national chairman, PDP will be on our neck that he must be prosecuted and we can’t afford to take chances with few weeks to the election”, he said.

Even tho am a buharist to the core,tinubu should not and never think of contesting in 2023


THE NEXT LEVEL LOADING.......

I have always said that osho never collected bribe from aspirants, he only work for tinubu, which is good for tinubu 2023.
Because 2019 election has be concluded,
2023 politics is already on and SE are making the previous mistake.
Even if 100% of SE atikulated, is to their own detriment, but if they are wise, they should give buhari the same 100% SW is giving buhari, in order to get to their promise presidency 2023.
THAT IS MY JUDGEMENT

Tinubu has no grip in Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti States...

Fayemi and Akeredolu are men of themselves!

Ogun state is not possible... they will prefer to have a GNI than having Tinubu stooge!!

Selfish politician of South West origin....
'Of conquest and control'...insatiable lust for power
Political extremist
That is simply why the region is undeveloped and cant grow beyond the use of propaganda and deceit.

It's not tinubu that has control over those states, it's apc. Tinubu never had control of those states.

“What is going on now is that those who fought with Tinubu during the tenure of Chief John Oyegun are now being attacked, people like Amosun, Fayemi, Akeredolu and others.

It is more of a retaliation. He is trying to gain back the powers he had lost in the region. To do that, he has to use Oshiomhole to do the dirty job.
“Most of these things are just about the presidential ambition of one man in 2023”.

Of course the allegations against Oshiomole by party members to the DSS & AGF is still true. Meanwhile Oshiomole stupidly said the crisis in the party is being ocastrated by the opposition.

Regain, they say?

Tinubu has been controlling them the way a slave master controls his blind and dumb slaves. He's their god and we know that.

So this is not a news, Biko!

I don't know of Kogi. But Saraki will rather die than surrender his territory to that modern day Afonja. The same way Tinubu will die than surrender Lagos

He who play best takes the win...

Let the game begin.

For Tinubu knws when to turn.
I support him 1000%

It is his fundamental rights as a Nigerian and nothing stops you from contesting too

Terrible control by a bloody capitalist.

Power is transient, it can't be with one person forever. It might be a small boy that will take over when it is time

Tinubu can't control Ondo and Ogun,he should quit the presidential ambition.

And soon kwara

kjh

Ok

Akeredolu will never allow Tinubu control of Ondo, he tried same rubbish with MIMIKO and ended up losing the state with MIMIKO's defection

SW is undeveloped?
But your fathers have been running out of Alaigbo to hawk gala in the SW.

Which of your backwards muddy states has the quality and number of projects in Osun?
Which of them has the industrialisation of Ogun?
Which one of them has half of the IGR of Ogun?
Which one of your states has half of the FDI Ogun attracts?

Keneshuku, stop talking nonsense, carry your carton of gala and enter Ikorodu road.

Saraki that his candidate was beaten like a thief last Saturday?

By the time Tinubu is done with Saraki, he would go back to robbing banks and picking pockets as the generational thief that he is.

The media sometimes self are misleading. Tinubu controlling Ogun state how? Is Dapo Abiodun is annointed candidate in Ogun? No
Who are his frontiers in Ogun? I don't see any. If a whole Obasanjo doesn't have a say in only Abeokuta north, then Amosun, Osoba and Tinubu wewe.

Scientists have discovered a human being with custards in the skull instead of normal brain.

Amosun crying like a baby.

Akeredolu sweating under his beard.

Fayemi seeing ghosts amongst his appointees...

This rumble go sweet gaan

Tifnubu has expanded his business ventures to four SW States. Wow! Only in SW, do we have such godfather.

Pigs fall in and wail

Yeah with the help of Oshiomole

Our blothers who shouldn't be concerned about this whatsoever would still be like..
