Less than 9 months from 2023 when the heat of elections would already be at its peak, and considering the remarkable role Tinubu played in bringing Buhari and APC into power, if we're to put aside age and health factors in Bola, Ahmed Tinubu's presidential ambition, could he be standing a better chance if he had come out earlier to clearly state his dissatisfaction with president Muhammadu Buhari’s government, despite playing a key role to champion Buhari and APC into power

Sometimes it takes strength to admit weakness or oversight and Tinubu of all people should have known and used it to his advantage.

Since Tinubu has shown no remorse for his role in helping Buhari and the APC win and retain power from the PDP, despite president Muhammadu Buhari's administration becoming an emblem of hardship, insecurity, poor infrastructural development, nepotism, etc, I am convinced that many of those who oppose the Jagaban sees his ambition as a quest to give Nigerians a Pro Max version of Buhari, since he never found any reason good enough to criticize any of president Muhammadu Buhari’s policies; something most Nigerians perceive as an indication of his satisfaction with the state of affairs in the country.

Perhaps he should have made out time to subtly and constructively criticize Buhari’s administration in solidarity with the larger population of Nigerians who have consistently expressed their displeasure with the ineptitude of Buhari’s administration.

Who knows, there could have been more voices speaking in Tinubu's favour by now if he had earlier come to terms with the sad reality of the unforseen level of hardship that Buhari’s administration has plunged Nigeria and Nigerians into if he was rational enough to subtly criticize Buhari’s government earlier than now.

Some say love is the death of duty. Maybe he could have left some benefit of doubt amongst Nigerians that he actually didn't get what he bargained for(a better Nigeria) by bringing Buhari into power if he dared to admit his disappointment with Buhari’s government ever since. But, his love for his ambition killed his sense of duty which is to watch Buhari closely to ensure what he marketed to Nigerians in 2015 is worthwhile.

Maybe, just maybe, if Tinubu had dared to subtly show some dissatisfaction with how things have been handled from the seat of power, his contributions could have had some positive effects. And, if he was eventually witch hunted for it, it could have been a green light for him to see the necessity to build another political structure which perhaps would have been a force to reckon with by now if he started early enough, or perhaps, not to lay his eggs in one basket. He could have even stood a chance to decamp to PDP or any other party and be embraced under the justification that he fell apart with APC for simply frowning at their mismanagement of power.

One thing I have been pondering upon is why Tinubu opted for the conspiracy of silence, despite his political sagacity, amidst the deplorable state of affairs ranging from poor economy, dilapidated state of infrastructure, insecurity, etc which the country is being bedeviled by so far.

Recognised as a political strategist, it still eludes my imagination why Tinubu failed to foresee the ingratitude and negligence with which this Buhari’s administration has greeted his presidential ambition even before he publicly declared it. Perhaps, he has a cockroach in his cupboard, leaving him cajoled into silence to save himself the political witch hunt Buhari’s administration is infamous for.

The truth is, for someone like me who was an admirers of his political acumen, I think the conspiracy of silence Tinubu has maintained throughout this Buhari’s reign is undeniably a major factor taking its toll on his ambition at the moment.

No thanks to Nigerian electoral system where one man has more voting power than a thousand men otherwise, it is political wisdom to always side with the masses at all times and allow them push your ambitions while you do your duty of loving them in return. But in Tinubu's case, it's more like the love for his ambition rather than the masses became the death of his duty which is "love for the masses."

In conclusion, whether or not Tinubu gets the APC mandate or eventually becomes Nigeria's president, it is incontestable that Buhari and APC have glaring shown their ingratitude and dereliction towards Tinubu's ambition if we're to judge by his inputs in crowning Buhari as Nigeria's number one citizen.

We don’t want more of Buhari o.

they promise alot but could not deliver at least they should shamelessly hand it over to the Igbo as they promise. Someone that promise heaven and earth that could not deliver you still want me to vote them again no naaa.

Here is the question we should be asking

Is it that that the Buhari he so much trusted as the messiah rejected his advice and approach towards fulfilling the mouth-watering promises they made to Nigerians or he never had any solution or recommendations for Nigeria's problems?

Whatever the answer to this question is, it still calls Tinubu's integrity to question and every sane Nigerian should be asking whether Tinubu's loyalty lies with the masses or with his ambition

he did not say anything during the end SARS massacre and you want me to believe he feels for the masses. No naaa, no be Soo. Sitting on the fence in situations like that goes to show what length he can go just to win, as long as is own family is not hurt its a win for him. I loved and respect him but now I don't trust him, make him rest.

You e-warriors never learn anything. You always overestimate your online jargons thinking elections are won on social media. As usual u will be disappointed come 2023. The noisemakers on social media rarely visit the polling booth to vote

I know this is the best response you've got so why should I be surprise??

They are all afraid to speak up since that failure is still the president. Wait until they are elected and you'll see how disgusting they'll describe Buhari.

You should ask Tinubu what better idea he's got to bring about positive change in the country's situation that he isn't sharing with Buhari...

You e-warriors never learn anything.

Yes, we learnt nothing but we are better than you who learnt everything but still chose to market Buhari Pro max

They see the presidency as a turn by turn affair even though they have nothing to offer...
Imagine GEJ raising fuel price to #87/ltr which heaven almost fell that year, Nigerians have bought fuel for #800/ltr on two or three occasions under Buhari but they have been so hypnotised by hardship that no one even dares to complain.

Moral lesson: if you must be wicked, be veeeeeery wicked
