IS AHMED TINUBU MAKING SAME BOASTFUL, DARING MISTAKES MOSHOD ABIOLA MADE? WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?
THE OVERCONFIDENCE OF THE NOW HERO OF THE JUNE 12, 1993, MOSHOD K. ABIOLA WAS UNIMAGINABLE. HE WAS A MULTIDIMENSIONAL STRATEGIST. HE HAD INFLUENCES IN ALMOST ALL STRATA OF NIGERIA'S SOCIETY,YES EVEN AFRICA!
HE WAS IN THE KNOW OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES AND LOOKED LIKE HE WAS A WILLING OIL THAT SMOOTHENED MILITARY ADMINSTRATIONS OR SO WE WERE MADE TO BELIEVE.
SO, WITH ALL THE POWERS IN RELIGION, POLITICS, ECONOMY, BUSINESSES, SPORTS, AND PHILANTHROPY, IT WAS LIKE NO HOLDS DOWN FOR HIM AD HIS FATHERHOOD CLASS WAS TAKEN TO THE ATLANTIC FOR SOME POSITIVE TESTING!
COME TO THINK OF THIS, HE TOWERED HIGHER AND ABOVE ALL HIS PRESIDENTIAL EQUALS SEEKING FOR THE HIGHEST SEAT OF OUR LAND.
AGAINST ALL COUNSELS, NOT CONSIDERING THE SENSITIVITIES OF A VERY COUNTER-DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED FRAGILITIES OF OUR DIVERSED PEOPLES, OPTED FOR, PROMOTED, DEFENDED, BRACED WITH INNER, STUBBORN WILL, NAVIGATED ON MUSLEM-MUSLEM TICKET.
TO MAKE THE MATTER WORSE, HE DELIBERATELY, ANNOYINGLY, SNUBBISHLY UNDERHANDED THE THE HATED NDIGBO WHOM HE TOUTED AS USELESS TO HIM IN HIS POLITICAL PURSUIT TO THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT. LIKE THE BUHARI'S 5% DEROGATORY REMARK, ABIOLA MADE IT CLEAR HE WOULDN'T NEED THE SOUTH-EAST VOTES HENCE HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE ANY OF OFFICE OF SECRETARY, CHIEF OF STAFF, OR ANY OTHER APPOINTABLE PORTFOLIO FOR ANY IBO SON NOR DAUGHTER IN ASO ROCK.
THE REST THEY SAY IS HISTORY. BUT IS HISTORY ABOUT TO REPEAT ITSELF?
WILL TINUBU THE SOKE BRAGGING KINGMAKER BE SUCCESSFUL IN WINNING THE PRESIDENCY? IF HE WINS, WILL HE BE SWORN IN? I HOPE HE DOES! JUST MY CURIOUS AND IMAGINATIVE QUESTIONS!
FOR AN AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, I SEE TINUBU AS A PROUD BUM!
I SEE TINUBU AS TOO AMBITIOUS!
I SER TINUBU AS AS CORRUPT CONSIDERING HIS UNIMAGINABLE CLASS OF WEALTH-DISPLAY AT ELECTION SEASONS EVEN WITH UNQUESTIONABLE DRIVE-IN CURRENCY VANS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICIAL COMPOUND.
I BELIEVE HEAVEN IS WATCHING TINUBU'S I-ONLY OR IF NOT ME PRIDED MENTALITY!
I BELIEVE TINUBU, THOUGH A GOOD MAN, NO DOUBT, IS ALSO PHILANTHROPIC POLITICAL JUGGERNAUT. BUT WILL HIS HAPPY-MOOD SPENDING AND GIFT-CONSCIOUSNESS WITH THE ELECTORATES BLIND ALL VOTER'S EYES WITH HIS OBVIOUS OR PERCEIVED BOSSYNESS AND SELFISHNESS?
WILL TINUBU INDEED GET AWAY WITH HIS EXCESSIVE BAGGAGES AND BE TRUSTED WITH THE HIGHEST SEAT OF THE LAND AND GREATEST POWER TO WEDGE IN THE AFFAIRS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES OF NIGERIANS?
