Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi Camps Emerge In Senate by dre11(m): 8:26am On Apr 17, 2022
AHEAD of the 2023 presidential election, strong indications have emerged that senators elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, are sharply divided over the ambitions of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi.

The division has been glaring before the March 26 National Convention of the APC when the senators were divided over the aspirants for the National Chairman against the backdrop that the APC had zoned the position to the North-Central.

Prior to the emergence of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the National Chairman of the ruling party via consensus, senators were not on the same page as some supported Adamu while others were divided between Senator Sani Musa, APC, Niger East and Senator Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa).

Similar scenario is rearing its head in the Senate as camps are emerging for Tinubu, Osinbajo and Amaechi.

Preparatory to the APC National Convention, it had been alleged that the senators in the camp of Adamu were also working for the emergence of Amaechi as the presidential candidate of the party, even as it was alleged that they have chosen Adamu because of their belief that nobody would be able to influence whatever decision President Muhammadu Buhari wanted him to take ahead of the 2023 elections.

An indication to the split among the senators was displayed when Adamu, before the Convention, unveiled his Campaign Office in Area 11, Opposite Radio House.

Senators who attended the ceremony and spoke at the occasion included Deputy

President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, APC, Delta Central; Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi, APC, Kebbi North; Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, APC, Abia North; Adamu Aliero, APC, Kebbi Central and Ali Ndume, APC, Borno South.

They all spoke clearly about their belief in Adamu and the fact that he had the competence and capability to lead the party.

Soon after the Convention and with the emergence of Adamu as the National Chairman of the party, Amaechi declared for the 2023 presidency and, barely 48 hours after his declaration, he made Ndume the Director-General of his Campaign Organization.

This is a masterstroke as many analysts believe Ndume has what it takes to pull many senators to support his candidate against the backdrop that he is a likeable personality.

Ndume has been around in the National Assembly for a while; he was in the House of Representatives, he was Senate leader before contesting with Senator Ahman Lawan for the position of the President of the Senate and the chairs a very strong Committee that is Committee on Army.

Meanwhile, as part of his consultations for the 2023 presidency, Tinubu, on March 16, visited the Senate Caucus of the APC during which he vowed that if he becomes President, he will not step on the toes of Buhari, but step into his shoes.

He asked the Senate Caucus of the party to support his lifetime ambition to be President.

The APC National Leader was received by Lawan with almost all senators of the party in attendance.

Tinubu, who noted that he was at the Senate for counsel, partnership and support, said, “Nigerians have come to that stage where we need a change of baton. “Election is coming up in February. We have various programmes including the nomination process, primary process and all of that. I can’t do it by myself and I can’t do it by sitting at home expecting that many friends I have here will do it for me.

“I believe jointly we can do it. You can back me successfully for the nomination of my lifetime ambition to become President. My ambition is not blind to the extent I will step on the toes of the President. I just want to step into his shoes and not on his toes.”

According to Tinubu, if elected President, the country will remain united and “we will use that unity, the symbol of our party to cleanse Nigeria of unrealisable potential.”

Responding, Lawan, who assured Tinubu that senators would continue to remain united to ensure the success of the Buhari administration, however, explained that external factors were mainly responsible for the social and economic challenges the country has been facing since the APC took over power in 2019.

Also carrying his 2023 presidential campaign to senators, Osinbajo, on April 12, invited the federal lawmakers and the Caucus to celebrate Iftar at his official residence.

Iftar is the meal Muslims eat after sunset during Ramadan to breakfast for the day

At the meeting, the VP solicited the support of the APC Caucus in the senate in his quest to succeed his boss in 2023.

Recall that Osinbajo made an audio declaration for the presidency last Monday morning after hosting the Progressive Governors Forum on Sunday.

Now that Tinubu is vying for the presidency with his political son, the battle line is drawn and senators, especially those from the South-West, are working in opposite directions.

Presently in the Senate, Tinubu is sure of support from his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, APC, Lagos Central; Senator Olamilekan Adeola, Lagos West; Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, Lagos East; Senator Kashim Shettima, Borno Central; Senator Ajibola Bashiru, Osun Central; and Senator Adeyemi Oriolowo, Osun West.

In Ondo State, the only APC senator, Robert Ajayi Boroffice, Ondo North, may not support Tinubu because Governor Rotimi Akeredolu is said not to be in the same camp with Tinubu.

In Ogun State, the three senators there are also believed not to be pro-Tinubu against the backdrop that Senator Ibikunle Amosun, APC, Ogun Central is also said to be nursing presidential ambition and there is a political war between him and Governor Dapo Abiodun.

One other thing that may work against Tinubu concerning Ogun senators is that even though he was instrumental to the emergence of Abiodun as governor, the federal lawmakers may throw their weight behind Osinbajo as an Ijebu man from Ikenne as their own son. The other senators from Ogun besides Amosun are Olalekan Mustapha, Ogun East and Tolulope Odebiyi, Ogun West.

In Ekiti, it is not clear if Governor Kayode Fayemi, who is not on good terms with Tinubu while also nursing presidential ambition may sway the two APC senators, Opeyemi Bamidele, Ekiti Central and Olubunmi Adetumbi, Ekiti North, in favour of his ambition or to anyone he may be supporting.

In Delta, the two APC senators are Omo- Agege, Delta Central and Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, Delta North. Omo- Agege may be in the same camp with Ndume in this case while Nwaoboshi may also swing to the same direction and that is towards Amaechi.

In Kano State, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje is a strong supporter of Tinubu, but Senators Ibrahim Shekarau, Kano Central and Jubrin Barau, Kano North are presently engaged in a political fight with the governor and, with this, they may not go the same way with Ganduje, but Senator Kabiru Gaya, Kano South may support Tinubu.

In Katsina State, President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, former Senator Abu Ibrahim and Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, among others, are strong forces and may influence senators from the state: Senators Baba Kaita, Katsina North; Bello Mandiya, Katsina South and Barkiya Abdullahi, Katsina Central.

The senators will be divided because the Emir of Katsina is said to have endorsed Amaechi. Abu Ibrahim is a strong supporter of Tinubu.

Kogi Senators Smart Adeyemi, Kogi West; Yakubu Oseni, Kogi Central and Jibrin Oseni, Kogi East are sharply divided between Tinubu, Osinbajo and Amaechi because of the presidential ambition of Governor Yahaya Bello, just as governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State determines where the two APC Senators Suleiman Kwari, Kaduna North and Uba Sani, Kaduna Central will be

If Buhari maintains his neutral posture, Tinubu will fly the flag, FACT. Osinbajo and Ameachi are no match for Tinubu, not even close.

Then, I strongly wish Peter Obi emerges as pdp flagbearer. If that happens, Tinubu needs not campaign he should just go and sleep because by 10:00 AM, results will be like:

PDP: 107,543
APC: 7,784,687

But pdp can never be that stupid, they will rather want to put up a small fight so it won't be walkover. So they are most likely going to settle for athifku.

But las las, Tinubu will be sworn in on 29 May 2023.

“May”, “Maybe” “anonymous source” are the conjectural words to look out for in a propaganda inspired garbage such as the above.

Yes, senators would be divided, but you can’t be decisive yet, and that’s why there’s lot of assumptions in the above article.

I couldn’t resist the urge to laugh out loud when I got to this part. MoB is the last person that wants to see Fayemi right now not to talk of even supporting him. The author of this rubbish must be high on Kwale weed.

If you want to know who most of APC senators and reps members are supporting, go and listen to Ado Doguwa’s interview. Sponsored write-up like this is just to create the illusion that some candidates have a fighting chance. The APC is already a one way train and it will remain so except the president decides to throw caution to the wind and back someone other than the most popular candidate.

If the article is anything to go by, BAT will win the senate, Amaechi comes 2nd, and PYO a distant 3rd

But reality is, it's not gonna be an open ballot system. So you really don't know what's on the mind of most voters.
You don't know what PYO is counting on to be this audacious. Same goes for Amaechi.
As for BAT, only with a presidential backing can he lose that primary. That's all I have to say

I agree with all except the bolded
There are people that hate him among Yorubas, but trust me, it's not as strong as voting another tribe ahead of him. Just like SS guys who hate Wike now will put aside their differences if he emerges pdp candidate

Forget Lagos Abokis
We're talking of Northerners. It's where their leaders direct them to go they follow

Can you guys see the joker called leodeking? I'm beginning to pity him. He must justify the stipends he is paid to push stupidity to our faces.

Like I always say you have to be really daft and brainwashed to support apc or pdp in spite of how much they struggle to outwit each other in terms of failure.

Then if you are part of those who support them without being paid your own stupidity is monumental.

The wise ones are those who know that one of these failures will continue to rule us but decide to abstain from bringing them into power. How can anyone be fooled by the words of any politician claiming to end insurgency or eradicate poverty and all those other lies?

Happy Easter my people but I don't care ,we are celebrating the resurrection of our Lord jesus christ from the dead ,we are not talking about the living dead that call themselves politicians. It is only jesus christ the founder of our Christian faith amongst every other religious leaders that died and raised from the dead ..First for those of us that believe in him, we are not afraid of where we will go after death and we don't fear death because we are going to live with him forever in heaven, secondly after he resurrected he assured us that by living by his teachings we will overcome the world and death ..thirdly his resurrection is a guarantee everyone who believe in him will not be put to shame after death on earth. The reason for religion is fear of the unknown as it regards to eternity but most of other religious leaders don't even know what to expect after death but in christ jesus,if we live in his holiness and love ,we know we are spending eternity with our Lord jesus christ in the presence of his God and Father the almighty God forever, everyone who have this knowledge and hope have received eternal life from God
