I never and i still don't like Tinubu. But the truth has to be said. He is the smartest politician in Nigerian history.

He wanted to be president. But he knew it would never happen except he builds a political machinery across Nigeria. He single handedly raised AD and then ACN. He knew he needed northern votes so he drafted Buhari who wasn't willing to run again after failing to win the presidency 4 times. Buhari refused so Tinubu had to go seek El-Rufai to talk to Buhari. Buhari agreed on one condition. If El-Rufai was so sure of Tinubu, then El-Rufai should also contest as Kaduna governor. El-Rufai did and won.

Tinubu drafted Amaechi and Tanko Al-Makura plus other heavy weights. They worked tirelessly to make sure Buhari won. Tinubu got the Lagos-Ibadan press and all the media houses to sell Buhari's candidacy. Nigerians believed what they were selling. Even though they were liars.

Why did Tinubu do this? He needed a man up north with fanatical followership. He knew that if he had come out against Jonathan in 2015, he would have lost. So he brought Buhari in and packaged him. He needed Buhari's fanatical base in his corner. He made sure he got concession from Buhari that he will hand over to Tinubu.

Tinubu never allowed Buhari full control of the APC machinery. He wasn't that stupid. Come 2023, he declared, Emi lo kan! Buhari did everything he could to deny Tinubu the ticket but he failed. Tinubu's political acumen was a step ahead. Outside thousands of dollars spent, he assured each sitting and intending governor that they will win their electoral cases at the supreme Court. He delivered. No governor lost his seat.

However, through all this, he knew that the north had two people with wide appeal they would use against him in 2027. Ribadu and El-Rufai. He made Ribadu his NSA and El-Rufai, he kept at arms length. Why?

Tinubu is not a fool. He knows treachery and backstabbing when he sees it. How would you describe El-Rufai? A backstabber right?

Pictures exist on the web where El-Rufai is kneeling and paying homage to Obasanjo, Buhari and Atiku. How did he end up with these men? He stabbed Atiku in the back particularly.

Knowing this, there was no way Tinubu would have allowed El-Rufai into his cabinet.

This is the same Tinubu that was acting like a near dead im(b)ecile during the 2023 electoral campaign. He deceived the north into thinking he wouldn't last 4 years in office. See the same Tinubu today. Acting very energetic. J

El-Rufai should take a seat. Tinubu owes him nothing.
Aptly put, northerners don't have the resources, capacity to stop Tinubu in 2027. PBAT is not making the mistakes GEJ made by spiting the south to please the north. The best way to weaken these northern politicians is to deny them of juicy appointments so they can't have free looted monies to fight you. Tinubu has been doing so well in this area, they can't use their personal money to rally opposition against him in 2027. They will just complain and wait for the turn of North

El-Rufai said President Bola Tinubu simply “changed his mind on the nomination”

I hope those who always cry about how El-Rufai is the master mind behind the killings in Southern Kaduna will not turn around and against the security report that nullified him.

The funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thing is, the same El-Rufai is also rejected in his own Kaduna State too by the same APC governor he campaigned for and who narrowly won the election. So why also the rejection and persecution by Governor Sani Uba?!

While IBB is popularly called THE EVIL GENIUS, El-Rufai is referred to as SMD, SHORT MAN DEVIL. 🤪

As it stands, there is nothing El-Rufai can do. Except to keep crying because obviously his political career has hit the rock, wrecked.
For this nation's safety hell Elrufai should be kept far in the pit of hell. In his mind, he's trying to be popular but he's actually putting de nails on his coffin

Whose side will I be El Rufie supporting a Southerner is my pick. The North has rejected Tinubu if you like be fooling yourself with deceit.

Even his conscience has rejected him. The only person who hasn't rejected him completely is God Who is only waiting for his repentance, only if terrorists willingly repent.

MadamExcellency:
That's the fact. If the tax reform bills that were roundly by the North and some prominent politicians and elite weren't taken off the table, then El'rufai's rejection was the Southwest caucus and presidency project. They lobbied for Mallan El'rufia's rejection.
Must it always be him? Can't we have another person from kaduna?

You can see his arrogance, as if he's still in charge of kaduna state.

He's really in pain. I know hell rufai knew that his son would not be returning to the house of reps.

He has many reasons to be in pain.

Are you saying if majority of the north support p obi, tinubu won't be defeated?
Very good, but How will the majority of the north support Obi only. Elections are won at the grassroots by alliance with political bigwigs in states and zones. I hve not seen a single one of them following Obi. But many are with Tinubu. Am not talking about social media paparazzi oo, I mean the real big politicians in the grassroots.

If you carefully analysed el- Rufai interview on Arise yesternight, you will know quite well that he is with Tinubu any day anytime.

Very apt. At times I find myself wondering how the frail Tinubu whose pictures and videos were so gleefully displayed by the media suddenly transformed into the man we see now. Baba carry them on a long thing

"The North remembers" is not just a slogan. Northerners live by it. No good deed goes unpunished.
The south too remembers. In fact, we have more retentive memories than them
A time has come in our national life when we have to let them know that no region has a monopoly of 'shege'.

Two can play the game.

To hell with the north!

Any silly move, we resort to full scale resources control and true federalism/regionalism or we divide the country. Either way, the north will be at the receiving end.
