Tinubu didn't lose and Fayemi never gained anything.

All those chosen from North and South are not in the Fayemi/Elrufai faction.

Buni has always been neutral and he was the first person to publicly admit that there was a crises in APC.

The rest of the acting committee are those that can be sympathetic to Tinubu cause.

Although nothing is certain in politics.

The crisis in the All Progressives Congress (APC) reached a denouement yesterday with the dissolution of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party. Davidson Iriekpen and Nseobong Okon-Ekong look at the victors and losers of the new phase in the party

WINNERS

Osaze Ize-Iyamu: Inching Closer to the Prize

He is often acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who helped to set the body rules with which the party is governed. A former Secretary to the Edo State Government, Ize-Iyamu’s quest to become governor on the platform of the APC was thwarted in 2016, forcing him to seek a similar opportunity in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He lost in the governorship election to the incumbent, Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Ize-Iyamu’s return to the APC came with a lot of intrigues and political melodrama that reverberated round the whole country.

In the wake of the Court of Appeal’s ratification of the suspension of the then APC National Chairman, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, who is the driving force behind his candidacy in the party, many had thought he might become a collateral damage in the power struggle in the party.

However, at the meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) yesterday in Abuja, his candidacy was ratified to make him one of the big gainers from the crisis in the party.

Kayode Fayemi: Sphere of Influence Increases

The Chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has definitely increased his sphere of influence with the outcome of the recent APC National Executive Council meeting (NEC).

If anyone harboured a doubt the closeness between Fayemi and President Muhammadu Buhari, the veil has been torn for all to see that Fayemi, who is among those behind the scene working to restore peace to APC, has the ear of the president.

Quietly pushing for a political settlement to the APC crises, Fayemi worked behind the scenes along the the Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kebbi State, Senator Abubakar Bagudu.

The main body of the proposals from Fayemi and Bagudu to Buhari was adopted at the NEC meeting.

Abubakar Bagudu: Successful Captain

From almost being subsumed in the fight against bandits that devastated much of his state, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State also had another headache to contend with in -the different battlefronts with keen gladiators, fighting for control of the APC. As Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, he was like the captain of a sinking ship.

Bagudu shares the credit for successfully steering the threatened ship out of troubled waters.

All Progressives Congress (APC): Saved from the Brink

Since its formation on February 6, 2013, the All Progressives Congress (APC)has weathered many storms that threatened to make it go under, largely owing to the powerful interest groups that came together to form the party.

All the crises that have bedeviled the APC can be traced to the stubborn pursuit of individual goals against the communal or general interest of the group. These past seven years, chieftains of the party, valued federal and state legislators and state governors elected on the APC platform, have parted ways with the party, often through bitter quarrels that deal telling blows on the APC.

Each time, however, when the opposition was ready to sing nunc dimitis for the APC, the party rises again, rejuvenated, like a cat with nine lives.

Mai Mala Buni: Rising Star from the North

Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State is a rising star from the North who was for a long time National Secretary of APC and the understands how the party secretariat works, meaning that he appointed most of the staff members and therefore will find no difficulty in restoring stability to party affiars. Even as he was one of the governors supporting Oshiomhole he is seen as a neutral team player and a pair of safe hands by all sides of the conflict.

LOSERS

Bola Tinubu: Taming the Lion

He has on several occasions been referred to as a master of political strategist. Never in his wildest imagination would he have thought that this would happen to him. During the countdown to the 2019 and when the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari kicked off, he was busy putting people in strategic places, indirectly oiling his political machinery, widely believed to be used to achieve his rumoured presidential ambition in 2023.

But all these came crashing down yesterday with the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC by the National Executive Committee at the behest of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The dissolved NWC is peopled by those considered loyal to him, especially Oshiomhole, who he backed at the time of trouble.

The first sign that things were not going his way was when the president on Wednesday snubbed his faction of the NWC and recognised Victor Giadom as the party’s acting national chairman. The dissolution of the NWC, despite the protestations by members, was considered as part of a larger plot to tame his presidential ambition.

Therefore, with his loss of the national structure of the party, his undeclared presidential ambition has suffered a setback.

Despite the consolatory appointment of Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State into the new caretaker committee, Tinubu would have to go back to the drawing board to reset his presidential ambition.

Adams Oshiomhole: He Has Lost the Battle, will He Win the War?

Clearly the battle to save his political legacy in Edo State has suffered a major setback in his war of attrition with Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki who he brought into politics from Lagos Corporate life at the expense of his traditional loyalists.

Though he may have succeeded in paying Obaseki back for being allegedly ungrateful to him for making him governor, that comes at a huge price. He got his fingers burnt and lost his highly influential party chairmanship.

Oshiomhole went about his fight with Obaseki in an unrelentless manner as if there was nobody to call him to order at his initial reluctance to fight with Obaseki. But in trying to pull the governor down, which he succeeded by gaming the system to force him out of the party, he went down with him.

Even if he gets settled with a ministerial, ambassadorial or board appointment, it can never be like being the national chairman of a ruling party at a time when the nation prepares for a political transition. Oshiomhole is bloodied but certainly not to be counted out. He has lost the battle, but will he win the war.

If Obaseki by any chance wins his second term bid, he may find it difficult to enter his own Edo State.

But Obaseki may have won the battle for the PDP ticket, but it remains unclear whether or not he can win the war for his re-election.

Victor Giadom: Shove Aside after a Yeoman’s Job

The Rivers-state born politician shot himself into national reckoning in the last few weeks as he made a grab for the party’s leadership position in the wake of Adam’s Oshiomhole’s suspension.

However, many will remember Chief Victor Giadom, former Deputy National Secretary of the APC as the spoiler who nearly wrecked the APC. His appearance on the scene after the suspension of Oshiomhole was upheld further factionalised the party. His subsequent activities nearly drove a nail into the coffin of the APC.

But to those familiar with political intrigues, Giadom was a pawn in a complex chess game of power.

Now that he has served his purpose, he has been shoved aside along with his colleagues in the NWC to save the queen: APC.

Chief Hillard Etah: Pawn on the Chessboard

The National Vice Chairman in-charge of the South-south was hardly known beyond his zone. That was until colleagues in the leadership of the party pushed Chief Hillard Eta forward for the post of acting National Chairman to hold the fort for Senator Abiola Ajimobi who ought to have occupied the position in the aftermath of Oshiomhole’s suspension, if not for his hospitalisation.

However, his insistence, along with other NWC to oppose other party leaders’ bid to resolve the crisis by kicking against yesterday’s NEC meeting, showed that there were other considerations driving their position.

APC NWC: Sold to Outside Influence

While it may be a case of throwing away the baby with the bathwater or one oily finger soiling the rest, the point that has been made is that the National Working Committee of the APC as previously constituted had bought into the vision and dream of one powerful individual, line, hook and sinker. Therefore, allowing any of them to remain in office could mean leaving a window of opportunity open for control by outside influence at the expense of stability in APC.

Tinubu would be a terrible student of history if he believed that what happened to Afonja, Awolowo, Abiola wouldnt happen to him, Tinubu. I mean everyone know it would happen to him, it was a matter of "when" not "if". EFCC has all his receipts, DSS trail him like Dubai police trailed his brother Ramoni Hushpuppi.

Time to finish Adams politically

Adams apple must goooooo

ThatFairGuy:
I wrote it for you all to see. Igbo's should not dream of presidential ticket from APC, It's for the Yorubas.(CPC and ACN shouldn't be forget so soon).
At bolded, when you've refused to be criticising Tinubu every seconds because of your presidential agenda, we) The Omoluabis) won't cease defending and bashing you. Why is Tinubu your problem?

Attention tribalist, this is not a "my tribe versus your tribe" discussion. I will not enter that gutter with you.

If Tinubu is a candidate for the SW, he's doomed from the start. What we need now is a candidate for the nation. From wherever, but for Nigeria. Not your usual tribal champions.

It's that line of thinking that got us where we are now.

Calling Giadom a loser shows that the writer of this article is naive.

Giadom is the biggest winner.

Giadom was recruited for a particular job. He was given is job description and he carried out the tast perfectly well without embarrassing the masters. And he has been handsomely rewarded.

Lostz:
stop consoling yourself with useless analysis to make it seems Tinubu is still in control.

if Tinubu was in charge, the oshomole NWC will not be disbanded.
the cabals are running the party now. the caretaker committee has their roles spell out. they will fulfill whatever reason they are appointed and handover the party to the owners just like Markafi did for PDP.


no one is anyone's man


oshomole is now retired

There is something called tactical maneuver. Ask GEJ

Jesusloveyou:

Off course only if the meaning of dire consequences is agreed upon by everyone of them

Satanic party Dead & BURIED

Zeus119:
It appears that you guys boss at Bourdillion shares whatever substance he snorts with his supporters so that they are politically unrealistic. Mai Buni is there to do whatever the cabals who put him as CTC chair directs him, he is not there to work for Tinubu. He has seen how Oshomole that worked for Tinubu ended. The name of the game is operation Stop Tinubu and the North has bought into it. The North is not ready and will not concede power to South come 2020. They have developed an argument already to the effect that they want to complete Yar Adua's two terms which Jonathan stole from them before the rotational presidency kick starts. SW played into their hands 2015

Lol,
some people will just pull out some facts from their anus.
where did u get all this from na?
wake up abeg.

Niceman4u:
I am not talking abt Igbo presidency here, ofcourse I am not interested in that.
I saying for u Tinubu as*lickers, Tinubu won't be the president of Nigeria.

and did he tell you he had interest in becoming one?

frankmoney:
how is his political career dead ?

Where's a more pronounced Ali Modu Sheriff now? You think anyone will want to have anything to do with such disruptive character? He was a nobody until his 2 hours fame, now he will back to that nobodiness, albeit till forever.

WATCHOVER:
You're correct, yesterday NEC meeting has further plunged the party into secret war, like you know secret war is more dangerous than an open war.
Then secondly, for those saying Ize-Iyamu was one of the winners, I bet it he will be left in the sea because most of the governors and ministers still have Gov. Obaseki at heart.
They know is because of Oshiomhole that Gov. Obaseki left their party.

Lastly, those saying Victor Giadom lost, I think they are getting it wrong, Giadom acted a script and has fulfilled it, there was never a time where he would have acted for more than 14days. Giadom own was if you can't accept me let's give it to a neutral person.

you're talking sir

Gidaom that was sent out of the NEC meeting immediate about the NWC was dissolved?

Make una dey deceive una selves.

Even here in PH the supporters of Amaechi who were already dreaming of using Giadom to silence Abe are already quiet.

Giadom's camp expected that he would be there as chairman for some time.

When me and my Baba said we belong to everybody and belong to nobody, you think na joke abi.

Oshiomole led faction know that NWC is likely to be dissolve at NEC meeting and that s d reason they are calling for Buhari not to attend.
To avoid this kind of fracas is d reason y Oshiomole was calling on Giadom to fear God.
Giadom has nothing to loose but was used by anti-Osho to cause fracas in d party.

Welldone! Well said.
I don't know why they keep masturbating with Tinubu's name, I wonder what exactly is their problem!...envy I guess.
The President just simply dissolved everything and replaced it with something neutral, that's all. Do you think if Tinubu is really so desperate to, he can't get these new people to his camp? Is it difficult to do?

Giadom's camp expected that he would be there as chairman for some time.

You don't understand.

There was a script written by the cabal-backed APC governors. The plot was to seize the party from Tinubu preparatory to 2023. There are many actors in the script. Giadom was incorporated into the script to play a specific role. His role is to create a confusion and crises in the party then the cabal/governors would take it up from from there. "Just go out there and announce yourself as the acting chairman and start releasing random statements from your bedroom, we will complete the job". Giadom's job finished the moment he successfully announced there would be a NEC meeting. He has been rewarded for a job well done.

If Giadom had not declared himself acting chairman, there would not have been any need to hold the NEC meeting which ousted the Pro- Tinubu NWC.

As at today APC is now firmly under the grip of the APC governors and they are not ready to let go of it anytime soon.
