Those of you who are getting ready to vote for Asiwaju are just wasting your time. His aspiration has already been flagged down by some interested parties.

Their form of attack is what is known in military terms as a pincer movement . He has been surrounded and the bear hug is tightening around him everyday. Let me explain.

The pincer movement, is a tactic in which forces attack both sides of an enemy formation at the same time. The idea is to encircle the enemy and totally decimate him. But sometimes the idea is to leave the enemy an escape route

* First these parties made sure that the north saw Tinubu not as an ally of Buhari. But rather as an opponent, weak link and untrustworthy associate. The comment by the president, about Tinubu being in Lagos and trying to call the shots comes to mind

" They orchestrated the emergence of Saraki as the NASS president and put the Asiwaju and Saraki in a feud. This was a stone that killed two birds. First to put the NPDP against the ACN. And also, to weaken the Asiwaju's influence in the APC government

* They created the Not too young to run bill to give the North, and the nation in general the direction to go in a post-Buhari era. They made sure that the nation developed an appetite for young leaders

* They harped and took advantage of the incessant clashes between the herdsmen and farmers in the southwest. They took advantage of the Asiwaju's silence on the impact of these skirmishes on the southwest. This was directed not at the fanatic Awoist southwestern individual. But rather at the indifferent southwestern individual who could be found on the fringes of the PDP

* They orchestrated and manipulated the feud between oshiomole and the Edo state Governor, obaseki. Through cleverly planted local media stories, they were able to paint the Asiwaju as an occupier and invading force. As a result, the Asiwaju lost his only support base in the South-South.

* They used the outcome of the Edo state election and the loss of the state to instigate a palace Coup that ousted oshiomole from the position of party chairman. With this they cut off the Asiwaju from the APC power machinery. .

* They manipulated the outcome of the kwara state election that saw the fall of the house of saraki, as a media campaign against the Asiwaju. They painted him as an outsider and occupier to the kwara people. Forget what was reported in the media, the Asiwaju is now hated by the people of kwara

* They fashioned the EndSars protests as a question on the Asiwaju's indifference to the plight of youths and people in the southwest

* Last and definitely not the only ones, they let the Asiwaju be himself. All of their attacks were two pronged. The first attack was always to push the Asiwaju to act in a manner they had already anticipated. And the second was to take advantage of his action and use it against him

These are the only ones I have been able to notice. They are probably more.

In summary , the Asiwaju has been cut off from the Southeast and the Southsouth. His image has been damaged and ridiculed in the north. His influence in the Southwest has been whittled and he has been isolated in the center. He has been cut off from his power blocs, and his reinforcements. His supply lines have been thinned out and he is completely expended . In essence, a once regional demigod has been transformed into a centrist pencil pusher.

I don't know which politician will eventually emerge as the president of the federal republic of Nigeria. But I do know that a vote for the Asiwaju is a vote wasted.

You are right.
The North played the game right from Jonathan's time but they pushed Tinubu and his people who were proud to betray Jonathan whereas the job was done by the North.
Now Tinubu is dispised and hated like a scum by the North, South South and South East. His people see him as selfish. If he had not been greedy he would have been the best politician living in Nigeria.
For Osinbajo, he is on a jamboree. If he is given the APC ticket against Atiku , that will be a fight between Bash Ali and Anthony Joshua, because the North, South South and South East will go for Atiku while Tinubu boys will finished him in South West.
