| 2027, El Rufai's Game by kmst(op): 11:17pm On Mar 14, 2025 |
Tinubu the master strategist had planned A. Distabilize the opposition parties B. Outrightly rigg and damn the consequences El rufai being smart as he is has seen this long ago but waited until the hunger resonates among the northern masses to strike. In my humble opinion, he isn't agrieved with that ministerial job Fgs he has been a minister and a Gov, instead he sees an opportunity far ahead - 2031 beyond...the time for the Northern presidency. Perhaps he worked so well for tinubu in 2023, Tinubu to some extent was impressed but confused at the same time...why would El rufai all of a sudden fight so hard for him? as such never trusted El rufai, the rest that happened is history. El rufai's plans to become a kingmaker in north seemingly passing away slowly with Tinubu not giving him recognition. His relevance simply going into oblivion. He lost his patience waiting on Tinubu's reward for his fight 2023. He knows tinubu's game and has outlined a counter attack at it quite well... Since Tinubu wants to cripple opposition and distract them with so much noise, keeping them endlessly working on trivial matters until election day...why not turn the table around? But how can he do that while in Apc... impossible. He would be dealt with as an individual right before the plan matures infact he is obviously not in the grand scheme of things anymore. Not that they don't need him, they do but intend to use his shadow just like buhari whom they use to decieve the north to remain quite but disown daily. Reason why? Tinubu doesn't accommodate those with wings around, they must bend the knee entirely. He has to decamp but to where? There's heat in all opposition parties but SDP's problems seem negligible, why? Tinubu hasn't considered SDP to be of any relevance yet. The grand plan...break Apc from inside by pulling away with as many as possible, this means Tinubu now has work to do... remobilize and fix the Apc in the north. But let's ask ourselves, is this the best time to look for disciples in the North? With so much hunger and anger in the North? Hell no, Tinubu should be relying on defenders in the North right now not new disciples...that task is a lot harder to complete, and cannot be completed before the deed against him is done already. In other words... Tinubu now has work to do abeit a harder work than the opposition, completely keeping him busy with calculations within his own party as well as the opposition parties while distracting him from gaining any positives regarding economy-The end result, more hunger and anger among the masses for which he will simply act as an amplifier to every inch in the north. Wonder why the TikTok account? Don't forget, you may hate El rufai but the Muslim north see him as one of the most intelligent currently, he has their ears even to the inconsequential aboki on the street in the north. Busy presidency scouting the north for replacements in capacity close to elections? All will not be well. El rufai knows even a coalition can't win against a united APC with the current machinery in place in the north. The machinery is his target, break it? Destroy it? Walk away with any vital components? Whatever he can get away with gives the opposition "Call a friend" card. What's in for him? 2031! His relevance will still be preserved should the opposition win even if he's not on the ballot. Tinubu wins- he's a gonner afterall! Buhari ofcourse sits on the sidelines... "He's not aware" his supporters, El rufai's target as well, besides Buhari won't mind, it's a fight against a Yoruba man fullstop. Who else in the north? Ganduje? In other words - El rufai saw the marking scheme of the assignment Tinubu has given the opposition the decided to add more complexity to the assignment, then turns the table around. APC has seen the assignment and it's quite difficult that's why they're not sleeping anymore. They thought the north was in the bag or at least a handful. They where trying to focus on the SS but El rufai has now taken them back to think about the North again. Surely they will loose focus trying to keep the fire down while the opposition regroups to unite. SDP is not his destination, it's a vehicle to arrive at his destination at least for now and the bargaining chip for him in hand. He has no common vision with the opposition of Atiku or Obi, they need him and he needs them to stay relevant at the moment. If El rufai isn't able to cripple Apc in the north, at least he amputates one limb and that limb won't be thrown away...it goes to SDP then Opposition coalition. 2023, P.O was a taboo in the core north, Atiku did well but not enough against a Northern APC machinery against him. This time around P.O will be branded an angel in the north...mind you...they are already singing and Atiku simply gains heavier weight with El rufai removing some of the roadblocks ApC placed for him giving him the machinery to use. This means two things: 1. The gap APC has in the north is closed 2. SS becomes the decider...wonder the unrest there esp Rivers? Nb: SE is constant "C" in the quadratic equation SW: inconsequential...votes will cancel at worst negligible difference NC: Negligible difference... Coalition is the deal in 2027, a merger will fail cos of traps Tinubu has set in PDP and LP, wicked wike and his gang of estate loving supreme court judges will do the magic. One term for P.O two terms for North? Alot will be unveiled going forward Keep your fingers crossed! |

"When you corner a rat, it will fight back". The so-called master strategist should have known this. They pushed Elrufai until he had his back to the wall and left him no room to wriggle. What did they expect him to do? Even in terms of optics, Tinubu has lost the moral high ground because all Nigerians saw how hard Elrufai worked for his election. There is also a public video of Tinubu begging Elrufai in Kaduna to stay behind and work with him. That alone screams betrayal and Northerners do not take betrayals lightly. It's because of the concept of "Trust" (Amana) that made many Northerners go against Buhari’s body language to support Tinubu in the first place. Northerners take pride in keeping their word no matter what. Why then would Tinubu break that trust? He gambled. Elrufai was never a direct threat to Tinubu. At best, his competitors were other Northerners like Ribadu. If Tinubu wanted to take his pound of flesh from Elrufai, he should have waited until his second tenure was secured. That's what a smart politician would have done. Elrufai is a very dependable ally but a very formidable foe. Tinubu can no longer get 5.6m votes in the North with Elrufai openly campaigning against him and I don't see him making up for that deficit anywhere in the South. Not with his lopsided appointments. Maybe Tinubu thought Elrufai would be desperate and go contest the election in another party thereby further splitting Northern votes. How wrong he was! Elrufai would do more damage in 2027 without being on the ballot than if he was on it. There's no Northerner currently in Tinubu’s cabinet that can counter the damage that Elrufai will do. |

2027 elections is going to be between an old drug baron "master strategist" and a smart, clever, and intelligent core northerner. El-Rufai may not be on the ballot, but he's definitely going to campaign vigorously against Tinubu up north, as a payback for Tinubu's betrayal. |

kmst:You just said nonsense. Which know political forces left Apc with him. Babachair Lawal that has not win is local government to any party he support. Ameachi is no longer relevant in Apc, Wike is there to checkmate him anytime. What influence do some former ministers under Buhari have. If you think the north will support Obi presidency then you are really not politically sound. El rufai will prefer Ameachi to Obi cos they see igbos has not stable. Where will Atiku features. 2014 can't be replicated again. Which serving governors and senators will decamped to SDP from Apc. We have seen many and house of rep members leaving pdp and labour to Apc. Time wasting on their side. Tinubu is not Jonathan. |
