Ministerial List: Anxiety In South-west APC As Bola Tinubu Loses Out

*Tinubu Not Bothered As Long As They Are Capable — S/West APC

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

There are indications that all is not well in the South-West chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the ministerial list submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Senate last week.

A credible source in the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the party, failed in his bid to ensure that his allies and foot soldiers made the list despite several efforts he made to get them into the president’s cabinet.

He said contrary to the impression being created that many of the nominees from the South-West are Tinubu’s choice who may be crucial to his rumoured 2023 presidential ambition, most of them are not his recommendations.

According to him, “I think the president really meant what he said when he promised to appoint only people he knows. He was indirectly saying that he will not allow some power brokers foist their loyalists on him like they did in 2015. One of those affected is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu whose nominees were rejected by the president.

“In Ekiti, what many did not know that it was Governor Kayode Fayemi that nominated Otunba Niyi Adebayo. Because of his relationship with Tinubu, many thought it was Tinubu that nominated him, but the truth is that Tinubu actually submitted the name of Dele Alake, who served as commissioner for information under him but it was rejected.

“In Lagos, Tinubu also wanted Yemi Cardoso, a former commissioner for budget and economic planning, but the president settled for Olorunimbe Mamora while also retaining Babatunde Fashola.

“Despite winning Ogun State for APC despite the strong resistance from the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), the president also snubbed Tinubu who wanted Wale Edun, a former commissioner for finance during his tenure as governor of Lagos, but settled for Lekan Adegbite, a loyalist of Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

“The same also applies to Oyo State where Tinubu nominated Abiola Ajimobi, the immediate past governor of the state, but President Buhari settled for Sunday Dare, an executive commissioner (stakeholder management) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). Though Dare is one of Tinubu’s boys, the impression in the presidency is that he is more of a technocrat and will not have the kind of political influence someone like Ajimobi will have.
“He didn’t even nominate Rauf Aregbesola, former governor of Osun State. So, I think people are wrong if they say Asiwaju Tinubu’s loyalists dominated the list. The development is already unsettling leaders of the South-West APC but they are trying to manage it so as not to create the impression that things have fallen apart and the centre can no longer hold for them”, he said.

However, speaking with Daily Independent, an official of the South-West APC, said those insinuating that most of the appointees are not Tinubu’s loyalists are displaying ignorance as majority of them are his allies.
He also said rather than bother about who nominated who, Tinubu’s major interest is the national outlook and is pleased as long as the nominees have capacity to deliver and assist the president and the party to deliver on their promises to Nigerians
He said, “If they are saying most of those names are not Asiwaju Tinubu’s nominees, are they his allies or not? In any case, what Tinubu is concerned about is the national outlook.

“These nominees who are currently being screened by the Senate, are they good choices? Do they have the capacity to deliver and assist the president in his next level agenda? If they have the capacity to deliver, then Asiwaju Tinubu has no problem with that.

“If you go to Benue, is George Akume not Tinubu’s ally? If you go to Kwara, are you saying Lai Mohammed and Gbemi Saraki who both played a leading role in the ‘O To Gee’ political revolution, are they not Tinubu’a allies? Go to Sokoto today, the ministerial nominee, Maigarai Dingyadi, is a close associate of Ibrahim Wamakko, who is also Tinubu’s ally. Go to Zamfara, the ministerial nominee, Sadiya Umar Faruk, played a key role in the merger of APC, are they now saying she is not Tinubu’s ally?

“Those saying Tinubu was sidelined are just displaying crass ignorance. If you go to Ekiti and you say Otunba Niyi Adebayo was nominated by Governor Fayemi, is Adebayo not an ally of Asiwaju? Have they forgotten that Tinubu helped in facilitating his emergence as the Deputy National Chairman of APC?

“If you go to Oyo and say Tinubu played no role in the emergence of Sunday Dare, have they forgotten that Dare is Tinubu’s immediate past Chief of Staff and media adviser, who highly regards Asiwaju more or less as his own political godfather?

“So, those are the issues but like I said, to Tinubu, what is important is that he is pleased with the nominees as long as they are competent and will assist the president in delivering on his agenda”.

I would be the last to believe Tinubu has be sideline in SW apc sorry it can't happen at the current political dispensation it can only happen if the party break up and a new faction arise and people like Fashola, Ambode, Rauf, Akanda, Fayemi, Amosun, Ajimobi etc are members of the new party which is going to be difficult.

The truth is these SW people play some sort of politics that is strange and very beautiful one simply because no matter how bad is their differences they settle their differences maturely and the brotherly love steer them on. In SW politics nothing like fight to finish with their fellow brother they fight and settle their fight and move on i so much respect them for that.

I'm not Tinubu fan neither apc member nor from his tribe but as far as apc is concern in that region today Tinubu is a very relevant person if even an appointment was made out of his close ally yet one way or the other he will still bring them all together. Tinubu is a very smart political criminal he knows the game that is the honest truth.

Corrosiveman:
Truth I admire South West style of politics but the truth is
Religion also plays a role Unlike Igbos who don't have Islam
It would be very hard for Igbos to get the presidency
Our Votes are sizeable and in the present day system you would
Need Allies to win One of the reasons Atiku lost in the North is because
Of Obi.
I think my fellow Igbos should seek for Restructuring but I know
The North would never allow it so Our only hope is secession

jrusky:
Bro you earned my respect today. Just look at how you simply send the message across in a simple and clear term in an intelligent way bro I respect your mind.

With the way you talk bro everybody will stand for succession because restructuring is not the North language and this would have be a point to build the succession struggle on bro I swear other region will support the move because it's straight forward and worth building a freedom fighting on and the North won't have any option than to melt for it but when it take the lane of **oh kill these one kill that one, don't talk to this one don't talk to that onè**those stuffs will create clog in the wheel of progressive struggle to achieve succession in case the North proof stubborn.

God bless bro. My respect!!!(wisdom)

Contrary to this trash by independent newspaper

Meanwhile, about the biggest influence wielders in the new cabinet will be Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has many of his political allies in the cabinet. Unlike in 2015 when none of his close allies made the cabinet list, this time his former Chief of Staff, Sunday Dare is there on the list besides Akume among his most faithful loyalists.

That the cabinet was mostly compiled to pander towards political considerations is also reflected in the emergence of Senator Gbemi Saraki, the blood sister of one of the most disliked figures in the top circle of the APC, Senator Bukola Saraki, the immediate past president of the Senate.

Besides reportedly serving as a form of humiliation, it is envisaged that Gbemi who reportedly helped to eviscerate Bukola’s political legacies in Kwara, would be well positioned to ensure that he does not return to political reckoning in the state that was once at his beck and call.

Four years ago President Buhari said that ministers were noise makers and proceeded to appoint only 36 ministers in his first cabinet. Now he has exceeded records in the Fourth Republic by nominating 43 reflective of the change in the political stances of the president.
