Yes of courses...and yorubas are not moved.

Igbo people are more subservient to the fulanis.

Yorubas too get strong head and superiority Complex
Can it be that Fulani asslicker Asiwaju is not a Yoruba man?

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Reuben Abati and about 95% of Tinubu's men including Tinubu himself don't know much about Nasir El Rufai. By Divine Providence and Grace of God, as a young man I got to know Nasir El Rufai when he was around 35 years old and a convener of Northern political Group - The Gamji Forum. He was anti ABACHA. ABACHA knows him. I was only observing him . He is the meeting point of different groups (power, political, economic and pressure). Immediately Abdusalaam Abubakar became President, he was immediately appointed one of the advisers (Presidential Advisory Committee) and he was the intelligent power house of that group. He was around 36 or 37 years as at that time.

They prepared Presidency for Obasanjo.

Nigerian political heavyweights indeed.! Make them they nurse am.

Unfortunately the concept of Amana (trust) does not exist in the lexicon of the Yorubas. They behaved true-to-type and backstabbed Malam. Every Northerner of conscience is pained and they will respond appropriately in 2027.

You are very wrong. It is not in our culture. Something happened. The Hausawas know Yorubawas character. It is not in our culture. Something happened. I suspected some people are not comfortable with El Rufai presence. They felt his presence would pocket them. I don't really know what happened. I have never benefitted one kobo from any government directly and indirectly. I am not close to anyone and don't know what really happened.

I apologise for the generalisation. You sound very polished and I can tell you are quite advanced in age. You are right. No one can really explain what happened. I guess people with future political ambitions who saw Elrufai as a threat engineered the coup, but Tinubu should have done more considering that he publicly appealed to Elrufai to shelve his personal plans and work with him. It would have been far more respectful to not nominate him at all. Needless to say, it left a bitter taste in the mouth of all Northerners and supporters of Elrufai most of whom voted for Tinubu because of Elrufai.

Nobody knows what happened. As I said, Oga Nasir was the meeting point of different power, political, economic and pressure groups in the North. In the North, among those groups, some people hate him, they said he is too critical. I think that is because of his high Intellect and he is against easy government money without hard work. His connections spread from high military echelon to high people in corridors of power in the North.

Tinubu and people who came from Lagos may not know the intra power play in the North.

You are 100% spot on! Elrufai is highly connected and he has capacity and intellect to match. I personally feel Tinubu gambled with his re-election by his shabby treatment of Elrufai. None of the northern hawks hovering around Tinubu today can match his workrate but is he even aware of that fact?

El Rufai's defection means nothing. He has lost his respect after his governorship tenure. He is heartless and does not respect the rule of law. Because of his bad governance APC lost all the 3 senatorial seats in Kaduna and the current governor of kaduna nearly lost the election to his PDP counterpart. El Rufai is only trying to be relevant again unfortunately, everyone know who he really is. Forget his words or what he says, the man is heartless and evil

The same 1992, when Atiku was owning SDP together with Tinubu’s boss MKO Abiola.

When Tinubu was vying for Senator in the party Atiku was contesting for Presidency, they were not mates in hierarchy even then
