Kano Political Mishap Threatens Tinubu by Abujason: 7:17am On Dec 09, 2021 |
Some of Nigeria’s leading political stakeholders are today descending on Kano, as the state with the country’s highest political currency quietly slips out of the hands of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Tinubu’s immediate and near political rivals including Governor Mohammed Baduru Abubakar of Jigawa State, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti are among dignitaries joining Tinubu’s alter ego, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje at a lecture to mark the 21st anniversary of the Mambayya House of Bayero University, Kano. The gathering in Kano by the stakeholders is also coming as emissaries of some of major APC presidential aspirants fan out across the North for support towards their 2023 aspirations. While Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is yet to openly articulate his plans, supporters of the vice-president according to authoritative sources are quietly mobilizing for support from opinion moulders in the North. However, critics were dismissive of the efforts of the Osinbajo supporters as they affirmed that without Tinubu conceding to him willingly or by accident that the moves by the vice-president’s supporters would be in vain. Meanwhile, the chances of a political accident happening to Tinubu increased this week after his firm hold on Kano slipped with the removal of the structure of the APC from the hands of Governor Ganduje. Saturday Vanguard reports that the decision of a Federal High Court, Abuja recognizing the Senator Ibrahim Shekarau led faction of the APC as against that led by Governor Ganduje has thrown a major spanner in the wheels of the Tinubu campaign. With 44 local government areas and a firm support from the Kano legislature, Tinubu had, until this week, been seen as almost invincible in Kano. “I can assure you that Tinubu is in a panic,” one political stakeholder said yesterday. “You will see that by the time that Ganduje finishes fighting this battle that the congresses would have been finished without his control,” a source embedded with one of the presidential aspirants told Saturday Vanguard yesterday. The trouble for the Tinubu campaign is also worsened by the fact that the chairman of the Shekarau faction, Alhaji Ahmadu Haruna Danzago, is a longtime political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari. Danzago was for many years the chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, CPC during which time he formed a political partnership with Buhari that has survived till now. Saturday Vanguard could not confirm speculations of his governorship aspiration. However, he is aligned with other powerful Kano politicians including Senator Barau Jibrin and some members of the House of Representatives putting into question the tenacity of the structure now aligned to Ganduje. “There is no doubt about it, Ganduje will keep fighting this case while the status quo remains and which means that his rivals will dictate and organize the congresses,” another source present in Kano said yesterday. “Ganduje should have seen the handwriting on the wall when the president’s body movement started shifting towards Danzago. All that rioting and burning of houses in Kano will not help anyone. My brother, you cannot fight the Federal Government,” the source said yesterday. The case for Ganduje and Tinubu is not helped by the fact that their rivals are also spreading out across the other parts of the North where Tinubu had been held as unbeatable. While Borno State for example has for long been regarded as Tinubu territory, a source revealed yesterday that the fidelity of the political leaders to Tinubu can no longer be guaranteed. Borno which has about the second biggest bag of votes from the North had for long been seen as in the kitty of Tinubu through the state’s dominant political leader, Senator Kashim Shettima. It was also gathered that Senator Ali Modu Sheriff despite his historic problems with Senator Shettima is also said not to be in the Tinubu camp. “You know Sheriff is Baba’s (Buhari’s) in-law and will definitely move along that way,” a source speaking on the power play in Borno said. Meanwhile, there are reports of quiet meetings with northern elders by some influential northern leaders who see Osibanjo as a good candidate. It was gathered that elders who could turn the way for the vice-president are secretly being sounded out to support the vice-president in the event he gets the nod from Tinubu.

itsme01: Dummy! Anyone that says or writes anything not rosy or painting Tinubu in gold must be an enemy and an Igbo to you. For your information the Vanguard publisher Sam Amuka Pemu and Emmanuel Aziken the columnist are not Igbos. Your battle should be with the North who are the focus of the article and not the Igbos. Stop displaying your idiocy, low IQ and level of illiteracy to the rest of Nairalanders who don’t already know. 2 Likes

itsme01:That Tinubu had to beg sheakaru with a private jet to come visit him and didn't get any result should trouble you Right now what does tinubu have to offer sheakaru that buhari hasn't given him which is leadership of party in Kano Shekaaru called the meeting mere advice so your problem should be the food buhari is cooking for tinubu which have seen his loyal Ally fayemi jumping ship this early Don't forget buhari has beaten tinubu roundly since 2019 on the control of what happens in apc |

itsme01: So laughable. Continue to display your low level intelligence for all to see. Vanguard Newspaper - Published by Sapele man from Delta State. Vanguard Head office in Lagos State. But as far as you are concerned it’s targeted at Igbos. You know people with your mindset are the reason Tinubu will never be president of Nigeria. Igbos are so anti Yoruba and yet voted overwhelmingly for Obasanjo with a Northern VP twice. The North has used Tinubu twice already. They are about to do same for the third time. Igbos are not part of the impending beatdown. Keep chasing rats while your house is on fire. |

Leverage2021: No wonder Ibos can't produce a president in 50 years, vice in 35 years, not even National Assembly leaders in 15 years National Politics isn't Nollywood movie where Kanayo O Kanayo betrays Zach Orji... Politics is far more complex Almost every single card carrying member of Kano APC supports Tinubu and SouthWest Agenda, Tinubu is so certain of Kano State that he asked Gbajabiamila to include a clause to make primaries direct, where every card carry members vote You. People keep claiming Jubril elsudan would betray Tinubu Yet Buhari gave Tinubu's shareholding Oando exclusive petrol importing lisence Buhari made remita what each federal agencies use They meet at London and Nigeria frequently, even his chief of staff and ministers visit |
Re: Kano Political Mishap Threatens Tinubu by Leverage2021: 8:34am On Dec 09, 2021 |
itsme01:l laugh at your skull Buhari takes leadership of the biggest delegate state from the governor who is loyal to tinubu and hands it to a non governor and you think buhari doesn't have a different interest from tinubu in the primaries. Did i hear you say all apc members in Kano are for tinubu? No all apc members in Kano have the leaders they follow A few follow ganduje and the majority follow shekaaru who is loyal to buhari That's why ganjuge struggled to win his own election needing sheakaru defection Visits are inconsequential as it as been proven by sheakaru visit to tinubu that who owns the power is who control delegate I hope you are dumb to differentiate wale tinubu oando from bola tinubu Yes they keep meeting it doesn't stop buhari from believing one man can't sit in Lagos and control apc It doesn't stop buhari from putting tinubu in his place since 2019 |
