Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday described the crisis rocking the ruling All Progressive Congress as “Old Ambition Virus 2023”.

A statement made available to Daily Independent on Sunday afternoon by his Media Office said the bulk of the bickering within the party is occasioned by the threats of ambition and what people stand to gain.

He said removing Oshiomhole now will amount to showing Ingratitude for all his labour for the APC.

The full statement reads:

The alert responses of Lagos and Ogun state governments, actively supported by the federal machinery, Nigeria was able to quickly identify and isolate the two cases of the novel Coronavirus 19. This action, thus far, has stopped the spread of the disease into the wider community as has been seen in other nations. We are grateful to God and to all those involved in the response effort, particularly the brave and committed medical teams on the frontline.

While Corona has been presently contained in Nigeria, we must be alert to another sickness that seems rampant within a certain segment of society. That sickness is old Ambition-virus 2023. This illness afflicts many in the political class along with their allies in the media.

Those touched by this malady find that their ability to tell time and discern the difference between the present and the future has been strongly impaired. The carriers of this sickness are confused as to the very season our nation now finds itself.

They conflate things, which no sensible person would conflate. The primary symptom of their malady is the driving tendency to believe the events of 2023 will be decided before we even exit the year 2020.
Consequently, everything they say and do is geared toward obsessive jockeying for position to control and manipulate a race still three years away. In doing so, they recklessly undermine the very party which they claim to serve and weaken the administration of President Buhari to which they claim to be loyal.

They line up to run a race for which the track has not even yet been constructed. Put another way, they seek to pluck the fruit before the seed is even planted. As such, their actions border on the pathological. True, ambition is inherent in human endeavour.

Without it, nothing great is achieved. However, strong ambition applied in the wrong way has never done anything positive. At best, it results in confusion. Usually,It results in something worse. No matter how great one’s ambition and how able one may be, nobody can rush or speed time. That is beyond the realm of human capacity. To do so is to contest against fate itself. When it ends, such a contest rarely ends well.



In a well-structured society, people come to understand that the time for politics is seasonal; it is periodic. The responsibilities of governance are what is perpetual. Many of our politicians sadly have inverted this reality. Politics and electioneering are secondary to governance for they are but tools of governance, the platforms by which one demonstrates his or her worthiness to lead a great people.

The more a person obsesses over and constantly engages in political manoeuvring is a warning sign. Not only is he prone to the 2023 virus. He likely has little to offer in the way of good governance.

He wants to hold public office that you might serve him not he serve you. For if he had adequately studied and been acquainted with the ways and means of progressive governance, he would be focused on that important task at the present moment. He certainly would not drown himself and all around him in harmful political intrigue.

It is against this backdrop that we should view the present ploys and plots to undermine the APC National Chairman. The Chairman is human; thus, he has his merits as well as his flaws. Yet his humanity cannot be grounds for his dismissal. If so, the position will forever go vacant.

The Chairman has been a tireless campaigner and mobilizer for the party. He has steered the party through difficult elections. His contributions should not be undervalued now that the bulk of elections are behind us. To do so would be an act of ingratitude. It is no secret that the Chairman and Edo Governor Obaseki are in dispute. This is unfortunate.

However, the party has moved through proper procedures within the proper organs of the party to hopefully resolve this spat. All party members know this. Such decisions are part and parcel of internal party governance. Yet, motivated by ambitions that have nothing to do with the quality of the Chairman’s performance, people shunned the agreed party reconciliation mechanism and resorted to other means to oust him. These self-help attempts are unwarranted. These attempts reveal more about the mala fides of their perpetrators than they do about the Chairman.

The plotters launched their attack solely because they perceive the chairman as an obstacle to their 2023 ambitions. People went to court knowing full well the party constitution prohibits such action because these people had not yet exhausted all internal disciplinary procedures. We even had a national deputy secretary improperly call for an NEC meeting on the basis that he believed himself the acting national chairman. Clearly, this man would not have summoned the temerity to make such a move had he not been instigated by powerful individuals who he thought would reward or, at least, protect him for committing the wrongful act.

fyneguy:
lol Most of you are naive and lack emotional intelligence. It is only a novice that will think APC will remain the same if Tinubu and his loyalists are defeated.

I am only curious to see how Buhari will manage this unfolding crisis.

SciLab:
Awolowo said the same and failed severally, till his frustration shook hands with rat poison, the rest is history.

tinsel:
Tinubu also cannot release this statement without first knowing the direction Buhari is heading. I think tomorrow the appeal court will reverse the suspension. This matter is over and maybe for another day but not on Tuesday surely.

lagdmark:
It's not only igbo, most post 2019 Yoruba voters wey Sabi know that Mr Tinubu is greedy and corrupt.. The only yoruba group that will support Tinubu blindly are NURTWU lagos branch.

Onijagidijagan:
Awolowo is given presidential treatment GCFR.

If Ojukuwu said he's the best president Nigeria never had

fyneguy:
Buhari seems to be aloof. He often allows one group to outwit the other...He did same during Amosun Vs Abiodun in Ogun state.

Is the case coming up at the Appeal Court tomorrow?

SciLab:
He nor get choice, na either Igbo or Awusa. Because yoruba no go enter there again until Igbo take their turn. Na the plan be that. Na turn by turn, federal character.

If Ibo no enter, yoruba sef no go smell am. Una go wait till una get sense.

Afospecialk:
And who would vote for the Igbo ?

Your slave master Northerners or your hated SW ?


Igbo will remain marginalized till Nigeria exist no more


Who Care about 5% region in d first instance ?
