eodavids:
Please, Op, what benefit prestigious and, or economical will the award of GCFR and GCON do to Abiola and Gani respectively now that they are long dead and to the Yoruba Nation in general?

I was referring to that vulture Kingibe

Yorubas will gleefully accept any Greek gift to soothe their ever deflating ego.

The fallout of this nonsense is that Abiola's running mate, Kingibe will enjoy a generous pension for life and a prestigious position as a former VP.

How does a public holiday vindicate the Yoruba nation when it makes one of the architect of the failure of his mandate a national states man?

When GEJ wanted to honour Abiola by renaming UNILAG in his name the same Yorubas kicked against this move citing petty grievances such as affecting the UNILAG swag brand. This same Yorubas refused refused remember that MKO had donated so much of his personal wealth when he was alive to that institution but because it was Jonathan's doing they kicked hard against that move.

Yorubas are truly out of touch with reality and are the most petty reasoning people in Nigeria today

Kingibe is the sole benefactor to this latest shenegens and I won't be surprised if he wasn't the brains behind it either.

The June 12 election is considered one of the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s history. It is believed to have been won by late Moshood Abiola and his running mate Babagana Kingibe. The election was annulled before final results were officially announced. Mr Abiola was eventually jailed by the Sani Abacha military dictatorship for seeking to actualise his mandate. He died in prison in 1998.

President Buhari on Wednesday decided to honour Mr Abiola by declaring June 12 as Nigeria’s new Democracy Day. It was formally May 29. The president also declared that Mr Abiola would be given Nigeria’s highest national honour, GCFR, while Mr Kingibe would be given the second highest, GCON.

Coming under order 42 and 52, Biodun Olujimi (Ekiti-PDP), re-opened the issue to allow contributions. While commending Mr Buhari for the move, she wants him to do more in legalising the gesture

“For once, I want to thank the President of Nigeria. I want to say he has done well. This is one time that the President has given a thought to what (Moshood) Abiola and his family went through to fight for this democracy that we enjoy today.

“Going further, there are issues to be addressed so that we can be confident that this is not a Greek gift.”

She prayed the Independent National Electoral Commission to announce the result of the June 12, 1983 election officially, grant entitlements to the winners, recognise Babagana Kingibe as a former vice president and the executive declare June 12 a public holiday.

Mr Kingibe was running mate to Mr Abiola in the June 12, 1993 election. Mr Buhari on Wednesday announced that Mr Abiola would be conferred with Nigeria’s highest national honour, GCFR, while Mr Kingibe would be conferred with the second highest honour, GCON.

Crooked Kingibe just secured a generous pension for life

There are very few highly despicable and hated Nigerian politicians than Baba-Gana Kingibe and that is saying a lot for a Nigerian politician. Now this highly degenerate individual who has crawled back into the corridors of power like a sleuthing snake that he is, is being awarded an accolade that he is no way deserving of. But this after all is a Buhari govt where the owerllian rule applies that is where saints are condemned and criminals like Abacha are celebrated so it did not surprise me that a con man like Kingibe will find a place within the very heart of Buhari's govt.

This is the same Kingibe that never for once fought for the joint mandate of June 12 but rather quickly absorbed himself into the Abacha regime - the same regime that truncated that mandate.

Kingibe will disappear from Nigeria immediately after Abacha's death only to lobby his way into the Yaradua administration as SGF only to be abruptly rightfully sacked by Yaradua himself.

How does this new elevation of Kingibe to GCON benefit him? For one, he can go around parading himself as a former VP and also find his way to attend all future NEC meetings. But by far the best thing to accrue to Kingibe is that he gets to live out the rest of his degenerate hedonistic life at the expense of tax payers as he will now be entitled to annual pensions and perks that a retired VP enjoys.

To the build-up to the 2015 elections and the subsequent furious meme wars, one particular meme targeted against Buhari and the APC was the Buhari will ban Orijin. At that time, Orijin beer was trending not only in beer pubs but also over cyberspace. The Give this Man one cold Orijin caption using Vladimir Putin pointing in approval was used as an approval to a given post. Then out of nowhere the Buhari will ban Orijin meme appeared. This was used not only to portray Buhari as an Islamofascist but also as a natural saddist which he is.

The new tax regime on locally brewed alcoholic breavages which proposes an indefinite annual increment on alcohol proves this meme to be accurate.

The Buhari led APC federal govt has defended their new tax regime on locally brewed alcoholic products on the false paternalistic perspective of trying to dissuade Nigerians from drinking citing health implications of alcoholic intake. This was the position the Minister of Health used in advocating for an increase in Tobacco products through more taxation while the Minister of Finance claimed that the reasons for a broad increase in taxes on alcoholic products was to harmonise Nigeria's tax laws to that of neighbouring West African countries not withstanding the economic fallout this may bear on the larger economy.

The new tax regime will lead to more smaller distilleries shutting down and antecedent job losses that will even affect growers of cereals used in brewing process. The high retail costs will see to lower patronage of small bars across the country and will definitely worsen the economic plight of these struggling small businesses. It is important to note here that the average cost of a bottle of beer had remained unchanged despite the high inflationary rate that this incompetent administration foisted on Nigerian economy but with this new policy the cost of alcohol is set to rise and will continue so on an annual exponential rate. Taxation without consultation is extortion no matter how those of you want to defend this retrogressive policy. The policy is meant to extort an already impoverished people for the exclusive benefit of the current crooks in power.

I will suggest that State govt especially in the south demand 50% outright from whatever is generated from this backward tax regime. You don't expect me to buy a bottle of beer in Calabar for the benefit of one almajiri in the north.

Blue3k:
How would this end abituary arrest? You need amendment for states to run and build their own prisons.

Remove jails from prisons and hand the jails to the court's

A Sherrif department must be created for our law courts.

Apart from providing direct security services to court facilities and serving and retired Justices, the court Sherrif will be responsible in maintaining and running a federal and state jail where does on Awaiting Trial and those on remand will be held. This will go along way in decongesting the prisons and ensure the end to arbitrary arrests by the police and other security outfits.

The court's Sherrif will also have the powers to carry out a court summon and verdict. That is enforce court rulings both criminal or civil in nature.

The court Sherrif dept will be under the control of the CJN's office and not the Minister of Justice nor the Presidency.

We need to strengthen the judiciary to be at par with other arms of govt.

Amnesty for Bokos, instant death sentence for the likes of Don Wanny

The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied.  The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.
Shall I remind this nation of Buhari s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission  of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.?
One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being.  The story of the thirty something suitcases   it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate.  For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders   air, sea and land   had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.
Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo   later to become an emir -  to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment   as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time.  Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.
On the theme of double, triple, multiple standards in the enforcement of the law, and indeed of the decrees passed by the Buhari regime at the time, let us recall  the notorious case of  Triple A    Alhaji Alhaji Alhaji, then Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance.   Who was caught, literally, with his pants down in distant Austria. That was not the crime however, and private conduct should always remain restricted to the domain of private censure. There was no decree against civil servants proving just as hormone driven as anyone else, especially outside the nation s borders. However, there was a clear decree against the keeping of foreign accounts, and this was what emerged from the Austrian escapade.  Alhaji Alhaji kept, not one, but several undeclared foreign accounts, and he had no business being in possession of the large amount of foreign currency of which he was robbed by his overnight companion. The media screamed for an even application of the law, but Buhari had turned suddenly deaf.
By contrast, Fela Anikulapo languished in goal for years, sentenced under that very draconian decree.  His crime was being in possession of foreign exchange that he had legitimately received for the immediate upkeep of his band as they set off for an international engagement. A vicious sentence was slapped down on Fela by a judge who later became so remorse stricken   at least after Buhari s overthrow that he went to the King of Afro-beat and apologized.
Lesser known was the traumatic experience of the director of an international communication agency, an affiliate of UNESCO.  Akin Fatoyinbo arrived at the airport in complete ignorance of the new currency decree. He was thrown in gaol in especially brutal condition, an experience from which he never fully recovered. It took several months of high-level intervention before that innocent man was eventually freed. These were not exceptional but mere sample cases from among hundreds of others, victims of a decree that was selectively applied, a decree that routinely penalized innocents and ruined the careers and businesses of many.
What else? What does one choose to include or leave out?  What precisely was Ebenezer Babatope s crime that he should have spent the entire tenure of General Buhari in detention?  Nothing beyond the fact that he once warned in the media that Buhari was an ambitious soldier who would bear watching through the lenses of a coup-d etat. Babatope s father died while he was in Buhari s custody, the dictator remained deaf to every plea that he be at least released to attend his father s funeral, even under guard. I wrote an article at the time, denouncing this pointless insensitivity.  So little to demand by a man who was never accused of, nor tried for any crime, much less found guilty.  Such a load of vindictiveness that smothered all traces of basic human compassion deserves no further comment in a nation that values its traditions.
But then, speaking the truth was not what Buhari, as a self-imposed leader, was especially enamoured of   enquire of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor both of whom,  faithful  to their journalistic calling, published nothing but the truth, yet ended up sentenced under Buhari s decree. Mind you, no one can say that Buhari was not true to his word.  I shall tamper with the freedom of the press  swore the dictator immediately on grabbing office, and this was exactly what he did.  And so on, and on, and on . 
The argument of those who say that, by endorsing Buhari, they are settling on someone who can be guaranteed to give Obasanjo and the NPN a good fight, is one of the most depressing excuses I ever encountered for placing a political noose around a nation s neck. Buhari owes a debt to this nation, not the other way round. If Buhari wishes to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the citizenry whom he has so cruelly wronged, he should first scuttle his ambitions, then place whatever following he has garnered in the meantime at the disposal of a consensus candidate among the opposition. To insist on another taste of power, after such a history of gross abuse of power is an insult to any nation that values freedom and human dignity. Buhari should sit with the opposition and coordinate strategies to defeat the most unscrupulous act of political gerrymandering that, we all know, is about to be inflicted on the nation by a desperate incumbent seeking for a clone to secure his exit from power.  The nation has more than sufficient time and strategic intelligence to organize behind a common choice, publicize his or her qualities and defeat the arrogance of incumbency.
What is being eroded, through the power of suggestion, is a people s confidence in itself, and this is the beginning of mass suicide. Without that confidence, no powers on high or on earth, external or internal, can rescue the community from both the palpable and symbolic chains of slavery. To invite back into power a man who did so much to destroy a people s self-esteem, dignity, and faith in law and justice, is a sign of self-abasement, lack of self-esteem, a slave mentality that dooms, not only the present, but succeeding generations.
I wish to declare, unequivocally, that those of my party, the ARP/DFPF shall not participate in such a degrading surrender.

This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some, myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a democratic future.  What one had dismissed was a rash of illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a sense of relevance of historic actualities. Recently, I published an article in the media, invoking the possible recourse to psychiatric explanation for some of the incongruities in conduct within national leadership. Now, to tell the truth, I have begun to seriously address the issue of which section of society requires the services of a psychiatrist. The contest for a seizure of rationality is now so polarized that I am quite reconciled to the fact it could be those of us on this side, not the opposing school of thought that ought to declare ourselves candidates for a lunatic asylum. So be it. While that decision hangs in the balance however, the forum is open. Let both sides continue to address our cases to the electorate, but also prepare to submit ourselves for psychiatric examination.
The time being so close to electoral decision, we can understand the haste of some to resort to shortcuts. In the process however, we should not commit the error of opening the political space to any alternative whose curative touch to national afflictions have proven  more deadly than the disease. In order to reduce the clutter in our options towards the forthcoming elections, we urge a beginning from what we do know, what we have undergone, what millions can verify, what can be sustained by evidence accessible even to the school pupil, the street hawker or a just-come visitor from outer space. Leaving Buhari aside for now, I propose a commencing exercise that should guide us along the path of elimination as we examine the existing register of would-be president. That initial exercise can be summed up in the following speculation:  If it were possible for Olusegun Obasanjo, the actual incumbent, to stand again for election, would you vote for him? 
If the answer is  yes , then of course all discussion is at an end. If the answer is  No  however, then it follows that a choice of a successor made by Obasanjo should be assessed as hovering between extremely dangerous and an outright kiss of death. The degree of acceptability of such a candidate should also be inversely proportionate to the passion with which he or she is promoted by the would-be  godfather . We do not lack for open evidence about Obasanjo s passion in this respect. From Lagos to the USA, he has taken great pains to assure the nation and the world that the anointed NPN presidential flag bearer is guaranteed, in his judgment, to carry out his policies. Such an endorsement/anointment is more than sufficient, in my view, for public acceptance or rejection. Yar Adua s candidature amounts to a terminal kiss from a moribund regime. Nothing against the person of this   I am informed - personable governor, but let him understand that in addition to the direct source of his emergence, the PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents the most harrowing of this nation s nightmares over and beyond even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have him present his credentials along those of other candidates engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance. Until then, let us bury this particular proposition and move on to a far graver, looming danger, personified in the history of General Buhari.
The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive.  History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.
Buhari   need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. 
Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal  Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three   Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community   religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear.
The execution of that youthful innocent   for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power  At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence.  In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.
Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being.  Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media   those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed   military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition.
So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma!
Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his  corrective  rule. Shagari s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested   except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari s government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.
And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas.  
The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne.  The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention.  Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of  dis pline , it was nothing short of impudent.
Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the  judicial  processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin.  He was arraigned and tried before Buhari s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari s reign of terror.

The coming into power of Major General Mohammed Buhari in 1983 marked the end of second republic civilian regime and the beginning of the march towards the third republic. The new head of administration enunciated a ten point agenda programme (Buhari, 1984), which unfortunately did not include the question of return to civil rule. He believed that the major problem that Nigeria had was how to revive the economy of the country, ensure discipline at home and respect abroad (Sunday Times, 1984: 11). This created an impression that the transition to democracy was not a priority issue to Buhari administration. This led to lack of popular support for the Buhari administration and consequent condemnation of the head of state who was overthrown in August 1985 (Olagunju et. al 1993)

After overthrowing the democratically elected civilian govt led by Shehu Shagari, Buhari in a press conference was asked of a time-table to a return to a democratic elected civilian govt.

Buhari responded thus;

"As long as Nigerians continue elect corrupt individuals into power, I don't see democracy as a viable means of governance"

Well, 31 years later, Nigerians will make that same terrible mistake by electing the very worst candidate in the form of Buhari.

DrGoodman:
Please help me somebody, I've spent over an hour checking the Nigerian constitution for where it outlawed selling of alcohol, pork and dog meat plus burukutu and has still not seen it? I still didn't see any drugs confiscated or NDLEA officials report of arresting anyone in these pictures or story?

My verdict? The state government is illegality clamping down on businesses because of cultural or religious bias, and risks hefty sums in compensation claims as this might be interpreted to mean malicious damage.

If you quote me wrongly, I sue you

Shettima is a bloody Boko

Is selling or consuming pork or dog meat now a crime?

This is the very sad fact.

Buhari first attributed the killings being carried out by his kin folks across the middle belt as the handwork of foreigners.

He will later claim climate change and competition for dwindling land resources coupled by a population explosion as a major cause to the ongoing Jihad. It is this point he requested that host communities must learn to host their fellow country men.

His IGP will later claim that the Anti Grazing bill was the cause of the killings.

The NSA to Buhari and Minister of Defense will later state that ISIS were behind the killings and NOT Fulani herdsmen. Osinbanjo will dismiss claims of an ethno religious coloration to the ongoing killings even though ISIS that the Buhari govt blames for the crisis are a Islamic extremist terrorist organization.

To make matters worse, Buhari justified the killings claiming illiteracy was behind the conflict stating if he had not had the opportunity of having a basic education he probably would have been part of the Fulani jihadist committing genocide in the middle belt.

Bump

Come 2019, with or without a Buhari win, Tinubu will be permanently retired.

Tinubu, as a politician is a "dead man walking".

With or without a Buhari win in 2019, Tinubu is bound to be disgraced, humilated and his political empire destroyed forever.

The alliance with Buhari and his CPC was not properly negotiated by Tinubu because he(Tinubu) miscalculated that he will still get the backing of the WH which he believed will be secured with a Hilary Clinton win. For your info, Tinubu has been a major donor and financier of both the Clinton Foundation and the US DNC party. Tinubu was introduced the Clintons via Gilbert Chagoury sometime in early 1997. Gilbert Chagoury was a major international fixer and Money launder for the Abacha regime. It is on this flaky foundation of having a secured White House pass with a then almost guaranteed Hilary Clinton win, that made Tinubu not to iron out a rock solid agreement with Buhari and his Islamofascist CPC.

With a Clinton loss, Tinubu had no ace to check Buhari and with the current incumbent occupier of the White House embroiled in a fictitious "Russian collusion" scandal, it is safe to say the Donald isn't going to be sticking his neck in any other Nation's election talk less of this latrine of a Nation called Nigeria.

This is what Buhari knows. That Tinubu, who Obasanjo could not tackle because of his then powerful Clinton connection, is now nothing but a bloody civilian who can be dealt and swept away.

It is for this reason that Buhari is pushing to have Tinubu de-feathered and he is propping several of Tinubu's own proteges like Fayemi and Fashola to douse his influence in his backyard. The disgrace meted Tinubu by his own party in Ondo and Kogi as well as in the National Assembly should have served as a pointer to Tinubu that whatever influence and weight he once had within the party has long expired.


By 2019, Buhari will not need any Lagos based marketing and online opioning crafting shills to persuade Nigerians to vote for him. The savvy campaign that re-branded Buhari and put him into the saddle can never be replicated because Nigerians now know Buhari as an unrepentant despotic Tyrant. Buhari will thus have no other choice than to rig himself back into power with the federal might at his disposal.

If by chance Buhari gets re-elected (God forbid), the unbundling of Tinubu will begin. Buhari has come to see Tinubu as an annoying nuisance. The likes of Amosun in Ogun is most likely to be in control of the APC SW as Buhari is known to be fond of that Afonja.


In the scenario that Buhari and the APC is not returned to power in 2019, I see big trouble coming the way of Tinubu from political foes who will permanently want to have him disgraced and jailed. The likes of Saraki will not spare a thought in having Tinubu jailed neither will Atiku and other powerful opposition figures.

It is thus safe to say that the sun is setting on Tinubu and his corrupt political empire and by God I am loving it.

GoTV:
Mynd44

Did he lie?

deomelo:
lmao @ Oyegun will deal with Tinubu. Who is Oyegun?


OBJ tried and failed

GEJ tried and failed

PMB sef tried, failed and found his way back to Tinubu

Funny when small boys with ZERO sense of history and politics turn into political neophytes and buka political analysts.

APC NWC led by Oyegun just cancelled the recent ward and state congresses that saw two factional heads emerge.

Tinubu will be cut to size by Oyegun

In his bid to wrest control of the APC NWC for himself, Tinubu is already digging his own grave alongside that of the APC.

The only reason Buhari listened to Tinubu's grievances is because Buhari wants to make him(Tinubu) feel relevant so he can be used and dumped again. There is an election year in the corner and Buhari will be needing Tinubu to do his bidding once more in the SW.

In typical Tinubu childishness, Tinubu demanded that the current APC NWC headed by Oyegun be dismantled. Tinubu has come to identify Oyegun as his arch enemy following his disastrous outing in Ondo and Kogi and has since held a grudge against Oyegun notwithstanding that the gubernatorial primaries in Ondo that saw Tinubu's candidate sidelined and the emergence of Yahaya Bello were all scripted from Aso Rock to cut Tinubu to size. But for some daft reason Tinubu has come to identify Oyegun as the cause to his political woes.

Buhari has given Tinubu free reign to reconcille the party according to how Tinubu seem fit. Buhari maybe a compound illiterate but he is no fool. He has given Tinubu an errand to assuage his own ego and Tinubu immediately took it personally by leaking a letter he wrote to Oyegun claiming Oyegun was hampering his effort at reconciling the party. Oyegun's response couldn't have been more mature.

Tinubu will later go beyond his mandate at reconciling the party by dictating how the next round of congresses for elected officials within the APC NWC must be conducted. Still Buhari indulged Tinubu. With no proper assessment of the highly fractious nature of his own party, Tinubu went to market demanding and insisting that congresses from the ward level must be held. This is also despite the fact that Tinubu has no solid ground even in his own lair in Lagos.

The fallout of the ward and state congresses held by the APC nationwide has caused more problems than it hoped to solve but by far the most ironic twist to all this is that it is the same Oyegun-led NWC that will decide among the factions from each state which is genuine.

This is why you don't hear Oyegun talking as he will resoundingly deal with Tinubu by identifying with opposing camps and factions.

In the end Tinubu will come out more deflated.
