Tinumbu is just like a bad bone that has stuck in an awkward place.
He's banking on the fact that PDP may field in a candidate from the east and then he rallies support from north by playing the age-long tribal card of ganging up against the east.
If PDP presents a northerner, then he would simply step aside, support the APC candidate and retain his reputation as a party leader and king maker.
Either way, I give it to him: he's smart.
However, the general sentiment is that Nigerians don't want him, apart from Afonjas.
