OPINION: Tinubu Vs El-rufai/Amaechi, Who Will Gain The Support Of The President? by Boblone: 2:50pm On Jun 24, 2020
The fight over who gains control of the Apc is getting tougher by the day. One faction wins today, the other wins the next day.

It remains a close call as to which faction will eventually win the war. Tinubu the national leader of Apc is still very much influential in the party as he has most of his boys holding key positions in the government. He equally enjoys the support of the south west( such support is dwindling judging by the last election). He controls the Apc Nwc( now a faction) and has the respect of the president yet another group of equal strength comprising mostly of governors, past governors and ministers stand on his way referred by many as the El-rufai/Amaechi faction.

This other faction has other strong individuals such as Kayode Fayemi(chairman of the governor's forum) as well as kebbi governor Bagudu( chairman of Apc governor's forum) as well as other governors and ministers. They enjoy the support of the cabal and according to many, have control of the judiciary ( appeal court and supreme Court). Indeed, this is no small group of individuals.

I believe any faction that gets the president's support would win eventually. As an observer, I feel the president may tilt towards the El-rufai/Amaechi group because this group have more of the core northerners in it and El-rufai enjoys the support of the core north in the last few years. Tinubu on the other hand has been a loyal party man and the president knows that Apc will suffer without Tinubu. This, I believe is why the president is cautious while addressing the crisis that is already tearing the party down.

It is believed that the El-rufai/Amaechi faction stopped Tinubu from becoming the running mate to Buhari in 2015 general election ( I believe it was the best decision taken by the party). It is now or never for Tinubu,this might be his last chance. while for the other faction especially for Amaechi, it is all about survival. One thing is certain, One faction will eventually leave the party at the end, the party Apc will suffer irrespective of who wins.

Only The president can stop this war.so far so good, both factions have played a good game.
