Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to nominate a fellow Muslim as vice-presidential candidate for 2023 presidential election is a tailored recipe for renewed sectarian crises that could destabilise Nigeria, according to a processed intelligence report sent to President Muhammadu Buhari by the State Security Service and shared with Peoples Gazette by national security officials this week.

The document, which got to the president by way of the National Security Adviser Babagana Monguno, said Mr Tinubu should consider security implications of his selection before making it public, according to three officials briefed on the report.

“The SSS produced the report and handed a copy to the NSA,” an intelligence officer told The Gazette. “The NSA looked at the report and added it for security briefing to the president.’’

“Simply put, our understanding is that the alliance will destabilise Nigeria and embolden attacks on Christian citizens from their fellow Muslim citizens,” the official said. “The distrust Christians are likely to harbour against a presidency occupied by two Muslims won’t make our work easy at national security level.”

The official said Mr Buhari was not involved in the deliberations that led to Mr Tinubu’s announcement of Kashim Shettima, from Boko-Haram stronghold in Borno, as his 2023 running mate to the ire of Christians across the country.

“People can say whatever they like about Mr President, but as a senior intelligence administrator I can guarantee you he was not involved in Tinubu’s decision at all,” the official said in a remarkable moment of candour.

Another official said the report was commissioned after Mr Tinubu became the standard-bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress on June 8 and started embracing the idea of a Muslim-Muslim ticket as the most potent strategy to be elected as president in an ethnically and religiously polarised country like Nigeria.

Traditionally, northern Muslims have voted more than southern Christians, a traditional pattern which Mr Tinubu looked to exploit, particularly as a similar ticket in 1993 saw the election of Moshood Abiola as president despite picking Babagana Kingibe, a northern Muslim, as running mate. While the ticket was accepted by Nigerians at the time, the victory was annulled by former dictator Ibrahim Babangida and augured a protracted turmoil across the country. Christian leaders said Mr Abiola’s fate should be a cautionary tale for Mr Tinubu.

“Strong intelligence led us to believe that he was passionate about the idea of a Muslim running mate,” the second official, an assistant director at the SSS, said. “By the time our analysts reassessed the state of the country right now and what would likely come out of a Muslim president and vice-president, everything tilted towards negative and very dangerous times ahead.”

A spokesman for the SSS declined requests to comment on the memo, and both the State House and Mr Tinubu’s campaign headquarters did not respond to requests for comment.

Yet, the report could drive a wedge between the secret police and the man who may be the country’s next president on the back of President Buhari and the ruling party.

The second official also dismissed questions about whether or not the SSS was injecting itself into uncharted political waters which could warrant serious consequences should Mr Tinubu go on to be elected next February, saying it was after Mr Tinubu had already taken the decision that he informed the president.

“We have it in our files that Tinubu went to the president to ask him about who to pick but the president was very reluctant to contribute and Tinubu noticed this before walking away,” the official added. “We have a role to play towards safeguarding national security and our report was not intended as a political intervention.”

Mr Tinubu unveiled Mr Shettima, a serving senator and under whose governorship tenure Boko Haram became an international terror network between 2011 and 2019, on Sunday evening, saying his action was based on merit as against religious consideration.

“I made this choice because I believe this is the man who can help me bring the best governance to all Nigerians, period, regardless of their religious affiliation or considerations of ethnicity or region,” Mr Tinubu said shortly in his announcement. “Here is where politics ends, and true leadership must begin.“

But critics have inundated the media with allegations of a clandestine plot to Islamise the country, which has a roughly equal number of Christians and Muslims distributed among more than 400 ethnic groups. Mr Tinubu’s main opponents Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party have both nominated running mates of other political parties.

Mr Abubakar, a Fulani from the North-East, nominated Ifeanyi Okowa, a Christian of Igbo origin from the South-South; while Mr Obi, a Christian from the South-East, nominated Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, a Muslim of Fulani ethnic group from the North-West.

But it was the decision of Mr Tinubu, a Muslim from the South-West, to nominate a Muslim from the North-East that upset the political landscape last week. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) was among the first to rally Christians across the country against Mr Tinubu’s ticket.

Members of the former Lagos governor’s party, notably Senator Ishaku Abbo and Babachir Lawal, have also led campaigns pressuring Mr Tinubu to drop Mr Shettima or face internal revolt that could cost him the presidency next year.

“We cannot work for such a man. I will oppose (a) Christian-Christian ticket because I am invested in the stability of this country,” Mr Abbo told The Gazette earlier this week. “A Christian-Christian ticket will be insensitive to Muslims of this country.”

The senator said President Buhari rejected Mr Tinubu’s attempt to foist a similar fate on the country in 2015 because he understood the dangers involved.

“Buhari fought a civil war and understands the consequences of a divided nation. When Tinubu wanted to be VP in 2015, Buhari said no because he understood the importance of unity,” Mr Abbo added.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki and other top politicians had publicly acknowledged fighting Mr Tinubu’s desperate attempt to force a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015, with Mr Tinubu himself standing as Mr Buhari’s vice-presidential candidate at the time.

Still, some notable Christian leaders like Catholic priest Matthew Kukah urged faithful to downplay condemnation of Mr Tinubu over his choice, but be free to support or reject him at the ballot next year.

“It is now left for you to look at the choices that have been made,” Mr Kukah said. “And there is no guarantee that all Christians will vote for Christians and all Muslims will vote for Muslims.”

helinues:
Well I have seen the source but this could be a media gimmick, Clark has never been in A0c nor support Apc.

Media are there to sell headlines

Former Federal Commissioner for Information under the Yakubu Gowon military regime and Ijaw national leader, Edwin Clark, has said that no southerner would support a northern presidential candidate if the two dominant parties picked their flagbearers from the north.

https://tribuneonlineng.com/power-shift-south-wont-vote-if-apc-and-pdp-pick-northern-candidates-edwin-clark/

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, on Tuesday, visited the Kirikiri Maximum and Minimum Security Custodial Centres in Lagos, shunning the mega rally of All Progressives Congress in his home state, Osun.

APC chieftains are in Osun State to show support for Governor Gboyega Oyetola, who is seeking a second term in office in Saturday’s election. Oyetola succeeded Aregbesola as governor.

In a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Sola Fasure, the minister during the visit, disclosed that there were 61,000 suspected terrorists in the custody of the correctional services.

He said, "Today, a core of the criminal elements and insurgents across the country are on a path to defeat, they have been heavily degraded. Over 61,000 of them are in our custody in the North-East.

"Our assurance to Nigerians is that we shall rise above these challenges and emerge stronger and more resilient.”

tinsel:
Edwin Clark has never been in APC

helinues:
Jokes taken too far.

Abi no be same Edwin Clark in SS that has been in Pdp for how may decades now

Except those who have stopped making use of their 6 senses would swallow this bunkum

Nonagenarian and leader of the Southerner and Middle Belt Forum, Chief Edwin Clark on Tuesday added an interesting twist into the 2023 election saying if he were to vote, he would vote for the All Progressives Congress for zoning the Presidency to the South.

He said, however, that he had withdrawn his support for the APC because of its insistence on Muslim-Muslim ticket for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, despite national outcry.

Clark, who is also the Convener of Pan-Niger Delta Forum and former Federal Information Commissioner of the First Republic, also gave an insight into why he withdrew his support for the Peoples Democratic Party.

The elder statesman also revealed how the Northern PDP governors contributed money towards the success of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), during the 2015 election.

According to him, the North squandered Jonathan’s money, betrayed and deceived him after assuring him of victory in the 2015 election.

Clark stated these during a solidarity visit to him by members of the Delta Central APC Leaders of Thought led by Chief Ominimini Obiuwevbi.

The DECALT leader said they were in the Abuja residence of Clark to find out their political direction in the 2023 general election.

Clark said, “We are saying that up till today, we still believe in a Southern President. So that’s why some of us have said the APC that we never wanted to talk about is the one that has listened to us by zoning the Presidency to the south?

“Because I am an old man of 95, I no longer belong to a political party. Whereas if I were to vote, and you put only two parties, APC and PDP, I will vote for APC for zoning the presidency to the south and listening to our appeal.

“The governors of the states, they feel they are so powerful. But the only thing your party has done that has made me to withdraw my support, is its Muslim-Muslim ticket. I won’t talk about it.

“Jonathan was the President for some time. The Northerners said it was their turn. In 2015, the Northern PDP leaders ganged up with APC to remove Jonathan from office. They didn’t campaign. Jonathan was on his own.

“So when people ask why Jonathan is not in PDP now, and not attending PDP meetings, I can simply say that he is learning his lessons that the people he trusted did not trust him. They squandered his money, the party’s money and they left.

“So when people ask, why is Jonathan not in PDP? he knows how they betrayed him; the Northern PDP governors contributed money towards Buhari’s success. How members of his government betrayed him.

“The national chairman of the PDP at the time, Dr. (Adamu) Muazu, did not go to his home to campaign. He was only following Jonathan about. He knew what he was doing. Every one of them wanted Buhari to win, so Buhari won.

“He has ruled for eight years. Now the same Northern leaders are now saying, competence, no zoning, integrity, no zoning. We thought it was a play but they maneuvered in PDP’s Mr. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who have been wanting to be Nigeria’s President over the years, championing the cause of division. So PDP, a party we loved, a party of Southern Nigeria, disappointed us.

Clark also shed light on how Atiku and governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State jettisoned the agitation by PDP for the zoning of the Presidency to the South in 2023.

He said, “We all own this country. We didn’t come to settle with Northerners. It was Luggard who joined us in 1914. So, we stood by this. The governors then went to Lagos and said the same thing. They went to Enugu again in August and they affirmed the same thing.

“Several times we met here and before the PDP had their primary, we met here again and repeated the same thing.

“Our own Governor (Okowa) initiated the meeting. If you agreed for a meeting to be held in your house and you backed out thereafter, you have betrayed your colleagues. Isn’t it?

“Who is Atiku that thinks that he is very important? That people like us when we speak, he will not listen? A good leader must be the one that listens to calls. So if you become President, what will you do?
Are we right? Will you support us?”

BREAKING
