True. Buhari gave plenty hints in that speech to the governors.

Remove from that list anyone that has ever embezzled or carry allegations of embezzlement.

Erase names with indictments in their past. Erase people with questionable citizenship. Erase people with weak leadership in position of power.

Remove names who are not popular in all six or have support deficit in any two out of the six regions.

Add someone who'll be acceptable by international community. Osinbajo fits in to that description. The international community are conscious of Nigeria fragile religious divide and would insist on a Christian from the South to balance governance

The 2019 election showed that Nigerians are not interested in any Mr integrity, they just want who can do the job. Insecurity and hunger are the issues. Nigerians voted Atiku massively but for rigging in the north he would've been president.

People are now saying bring back the corrupt Jonathan provided we can feed well. Buhari's regime is even more corrupt than Jonathan's.

This is why Im campaigning for an independent Yoruba. I want a nation where people do not have to trade integrity for daily life survival. Nigeria is shitty, it should be halted.

Osinbajo is Buhari's preference, but he will not impose him or use consensus to get him in. He is using proxies to bring Osinbajo in.

Northern governors do not want Tinubu. They prefer Osinbajo.

He will be a hard sell if everything were to just go smooth and normal so you first create a villain and a hero to play out the script. This is done by colluding Chairman Adamu against APC governors. The Southern governors will feel the opportunity slipping out of their hands and begin negotiating for last minute trades and deals.

When delegates vote, Osinbajo will emerge winner. Southern governors will then respond with a rejoice and send a thank you to their Northern counterparts for standing by them and insisting on Southern victory. Nobody will bother to think about Tinubu loosing his "turn".

The announcement by Abdullahi Adamu that Lawan is choice was a pressure point designed to frustrate Tinubu and bring him out in another tirade.

Net-net, Tinubu should go ahead and defect to another party now if that was his plan B. These people already have their candidate, and its not Tinubu.
