Re: I Don’t Know Him From Anywhere - Why Buhari Didn't Back Osinbajo For President by Richlolly: 1:02pm On Dec 17, 2025
This acclaimed biography will be nothing but a trash from the excerpts presented here. The writer must have been paid to do this hatchet job. He never wrote all these when Boohary was alive. Now he's trying to paint him good, paint his wife, Aisha and Tinubu good. Buba Galadima had said many times that they in North did a lot of work to pressurize Boohary to align with Tinubu during the days of merging parties to unseat PDP but Boohary never wanted because he knew how much corrupt the man was, however, at the end of day, he agreed with them to work with him. If not for the fact that Jona had started fucking up with the economy then, they wouldn't have been able to unseat him. They (APC) used insecurities in the North to destroy Jona's administration the more. In essence, Boohary never wanted Tinubu to succeed him, it was crystal clear to the whole world. He wanted Ahmad Lawan. El- Rufai and the other core Northern states governors were the ones that helped Tinubu by calling off Boohary's bluff because if they didn't do so, Tinubu would leave APC and consequently APC would lose election in 2023. We should bear in mind that El-Rufai had boasted that APC would be in power forever, so they didn't want to lose. That time, SDP had been calling on Tinubu to come and contest through their party when there were indications that Boohary and his cabal didn't want him to have APC's ticket. Osinbajo was a commissioner under Tinubu, he knew what he saw for him to have come out to contest against Tinubu. My personal opinion, if Osinbajo had been the president as at today, things would have become good and better.

Osinbajo messed up big time, how could he?. He overestimated himself and see at the end of the day, even Ameachi floored him to second place. Those he was banking on let him down.
It's just like PitaObi saying he wants to contest against Abacha... we all know Obi is Abacha's boy and Abacha made him who he is. So, Obi contesting against his benefactor would have been a very big insult to Abacha. Hopefully, Osinbajo has learnt from the experience to become better.

Story as told by Omole, a yoruba man who probably wasn't close to Buhari to know much about him

Buhari was a terrorist, Omole is just an attention seeker, a booth licker and an agent of Tinubu

Stale. Buhari would never say that about Osinbajo. It is now known that this book, written by a Buhari critic, is a hatchet job to malign Buhari in death and promote some people. Little wonder Tinubu attended its lunch but failed to attend that of Garba Shehu. The piece by piece media attention the book is getting is also not a coincidence. It's being engineered by someone but it's dead on arrival.
Even Nigerian don't know him from anywhere other than tinubu

I had hoped that after tales like Marilyn Ogar, Nigerians would have learnt there lesson, by sticking to their job roles and not disgracing themselves with oversabi.

Clearly the author of the book is not interested in his subject matter (which is Buhari) but more interested in seeking favour by attacking people he believes Tinubu dislikes.

Another Nigerian not worth anything more than a kiss ass eye serving wannabe.

Osinbajo was who I wanted to be president and I still believe he was the best choice.


However, I am enjoying how Tinubu is dealing with the men of "no value" that Buhari surrounded himself with that started behaving as Peacocks.

Once Tinubu leaves, it is the same way I fervently pray that those too who have "no value" in this regime (including this author it seems) are severely dealt with and publicly shamed.

I hope this cycle will continues until people get it into their thick skulls that power is transient and it is better to ignore an appointment if you know you have nothing to give a nation of more than 200m people.
Patiently waiting for that of Lauretta Onochie, she seem to be nowhere after the kasala that woman caused back in the days.

To be frank, Buhari showed true camaraderie to Tinubu. How would you want to supplant your master and benefactor whereby the same man also happens to be a solid backing to Buhari's Presidency. Buhari's endorsing Osinbajo would have amounted to one of the darkest arts in human history.
But also, Buhari's body language at the time gave room for lots of tensed atmosphere, speculations and uncertainty especially in the Tinubu's camp, paving way for some of the candidates proclaiming themselves as the anointed candidates. It was not until Tinubu self- proclamation of " Emilokan" at Abeokuta, that was the turning point that scattered the table, dismantled the cabal and reset the arrangements.

That was when Buhari finally heard it loud and clear and Aisha had to come out to align with Tinubu. That singular pronouncement changed everything!.

-Kiss the truth!
I'm not sure this is entirely true. Tinubu had already won the APC Presidential Party Primaries before he did the EMILOKA. declaration ahead of a campaign in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Indeed Aisha supported Tinubu at the primaries. Her veil bore the Tinubu Infinity logo at its hem. Small, almost insignificant but caught by the cameras.

I am more interested in the real story of Habba Kiyari's demise. Because we all know that things would have turned out differently in 2023 if he hadn't been 'taken out of the picture'.

This is absolutely a fat lie from the pit of hell.

It was a common knowledge that buhari never supported tinubu but preferred lawan, oshibanjo and amechi in that order.
Tinubu only enjoyed the support of Aisha and later El RUFAIi both of whom facilitated his northern support.

Whoever wrote this book is a hopeless and shameless liar.

And who appointed him a commissioner? Biting fingers that fed you is an act of betrayal.

That's a lie. Buhari stood against Tinubu. Just like Osinbajo and Lawan. Plus Party Chairman and CBN Governor.

Tinubu just bravely beat the nonsense out of them ALL. COMBINED shocked
Yeah. God shame them all. One with God is a majority.

Nope, it wasn't Tinubu's plan. The late Awujale had to intervene and asked Osinbajo to step down but he refused.

Olshinbaljo isn't that greedy. There's a game play. He would listen to the late Awjalhead if indeed he was on a lone man mission. It's ya daddy dat used him as d fall guy to deceive greedy notanas wt born 2rule ideology. But it good as ur daddy dribble hs enemies dat TYM.

The role VP Osinbajo played by contesting for the Primaries against President Tinubu is a betrayal I am yet to get over.
It is worse than Aregbesola or Fashola's forms of betrayal.
As Omoluabi's, I often wonder if the lust for power can make one to forget his benefactor.
