How Tinubu Outsmarted Northern Politicians by MrEverest(m): 2:46pm On Oct 28, 2023 |
If people can see the future, Northern politicians would have done everything they could to stop Tinibu. Prior to the election, Tinubu convinced the likes of El Rufai and the rest to support him so they could be the ones in control. To buttress this point, he started acting like he was braindead. Each occasion he attends, he spew all manner of incoherent rubbish, remember bulaba and rat eating holy Communion among several other nonsense. Tinubu appeared so sick that he was always shaking and behaving like a vegetable. El Rufai thought he would become the vice but when that didn't work out, he was convinced that chief of staff position was his and between him and Shetima, they will run the affairs of Nigeria like the days of sick Yaradua or even dumb Buhari. So, they took it personal and fought tooth and nail to see that Tinubu emerged as APC candidate and also had INEC declare him winner. However, immediately Tinubu assumed office, he dropped all pretence and pounced on the Northern politicians. Firstly, Ganduje was humiliated before eventually endorsed. Then it was turn of El Rufai. Tinubu informed Akpabio to embarrass him and never allow the Senate to screen him. El Rufai assumed he will only stroll into the red chamber, take a bow and return to Aso rock to begin his new role. Alas, he got to the Senate only to face embarrassment. He thought it was a joke, even though it wasn't funny. So, he called Aso rock to clear the apparent misunderstanding but they either ignored him or told him to comply with them. He frantically tried to have audience with Tinubu in Aso rock but it failed. Then it downed on him that Tinubu has used and dumped him. To save face, he told reporters that he wasn't even interested in any post. Lol El Rufai couldn't stand the humiliation, so he went on exile under the guise of going to further his studies Today, Northern politicians are too shocked and humiliated to do anything, so they quietly lick their wounds. They've always had this superiority complex that they control Nigeria's political arena and dictate what happens, but Tinubu has completely emasculated them. Out of pride, they're still pretending to be in the same page. Worse still, they're increasingly becoming afraid of Tinubu who seems to be several steps ahead of them and is now playing the game of divide and conquer against them. They're now trying to impeach Akpabio and enforce electoral laws that would make it difficult for Tinubu to ever win another election. Unfortunately for them, Tinubu knows their game plan and is using both money and executive power to neutralize their plans. By the time Tinubu leaves office, Northern politicians will be humbled completely. 49 Likes 5 Shares |

Tinubu is the real GOAT of Nigerian Politics. I wasn't supporting him before for using Shettima as VP, but looking at the way he has clipped the overgrown wings of the Hausa/Fulani in Nigeria and with Wike as his right hand-man and FCT Minister, I am totally satisfied. Shame on all Northern Politicians who cannot develop the Human resources in Northern Nigeria, but want to control FGN. Shame on all Northern Politicians who think their only job is to construct good roads. 39 Likes 5 Shares |

DaddyFreeze2020: "Tinubu has been preparing for 2023 since 1998. He has a former Lagos Commissioner as a top shot at INEC. He has judges he appointed as Governor that are now in the Court of Appeals. He made Lawan Senate President and installed Gbajabiamila as Speaker. One-quarter of Buhari's ministers are his appointees. He helped the owners of Oando and Alphabets become dollar billionaires. He has turned many journalists from paupers to multimillionaires. He is on excellent terms with army generals and has incorporated family members of leaders of our intelligence agencies into his patronage network. With his advanced preparation, the judiciary may even treat him better than INEC did. Tinubu and Godswill Akpabio both learnt from MKO Abiola very well. What money cannot do, more money can do. But Tinubu went further than Akpabio in that, apart from Olusegun Obasanjo, no other Nigerian politician has perfected the art of emotional suppression and stooping conquer like him. Instead of insulting his intelligence, let us, as PDP, study it and outfox him. We should not be too ashamed to copy his playbook. That is how you become a Chess Grandmaster. You spend months studying your opponents' plays. We must study Tinubu to defeat him like Erdogan studied Fethullah Gülen and then destroyed his political base. [/b] " RENO OMOKIRI 16 Likes |

Zxcvbnmghtr: I have never been in doubt he is genius when it comes to politics. Come to think of it, Yorubas didn't really give him full support. Hausas and Fulanis didn't give him full support. Buhari didn't actually back him. He has so many bagagges and unflattering record that could have been used to stop him. Yet in all, he subdued all and still seats as president even though many secretly don't like him! Even Obasanjo despite being a former military general and foremost elderstateman tried not to offend Northern politicians. But Tinubu doesn't care about their feelings one bit. He really knew his game plan and has succeeded in caging them and their excesses. 18 Likes 1 Share |

There are so many things Tinubu has done against Northern interests yet their politicians are scared of calling him out. Instead, they complain mutedly and are careful with their words Imagine using a Southerner as FCT minister for the first time, and he had to use Wike of all people!!! Same Wike that said Rivers is a Christian state and also single handedly stopped Atiku, their brother . 29 Likes 3 Shares |

So, northerners should get angry that you angry? find a hobby pls.

CSTRR: Tinubu has successfully turned Nigeria into Oduduwa republic. Dude has guts, I give it to him. As for 2027, forget it, they can't do anything to stop him. It's too late. If he can subdue them within such a short time, you can imagine what the situation will be in four years time, with full executive power. He will eventually replace Mahmoud Yakubu with a Yoruba omoluabi, by then the CBN, NNPC, customs, judiciary and other critical sectors will be fully in the hands of Yorubas. Mind you, Wike has remained in PDP to scatter the party while LP further divides opposition. To stop Tinubu, the entire North will have to come together and also rally either SE or SS but I don't see that happening. The Senate under Akpabio is fully under his grip. If they try to threaten him, the likes of Igboho and MC Oluomo will start their own threats too. It's checkmate! 20 Likes 1 Share |

Even Northern leaders know they can't do anything to stop him, so they pretend to be together with him. They're still too proud to be seen lamenting openly which will make them appear weak, so they lick their wounds in silence. 4 Likes 1 Share |

While PDP is still crying over the past election, Tinubu is putting his boys in sensitive positions including the INEC. Did you see the people he just appointment into INEC? One is a two time House of Assembly and two time Chairman of Lagos Mainland Loval Government, another is Godswill Akpabio's right hand looting partner, and others that are his errand boys. 2027 is settled already 14 Likes

joyandfaith: You still don't understand Tinubu. He is creating more Disciples. His Disciples have become godfathers in their domain. Whatever the Northern Oligarchy does will not dismantle Tinubu's structures because he is not building the structures round himself, he is making the structures standalone. For example, some of his boys have become governors in their respective states, how will the Northern Oligarchy destroy such. If they come and destroy federal structures, they cannot destroy Tinubu's structures 20 Likes 1 Share |
