POL 501 The Tinubu Masterclass (sparsky Vs Fisher 1972) by raumdeuter: 6:05am On Mar 01, 2023 |
POL 501 Tinubu masterclass (Sparsky vs Fisher 1972) To followers of Chess, The game between Sparsky and Fisher in 1972 was dubbed the game of the century I will use some Chess analogies to describe this historic victory of Asiwaju Tinubu The Tinubu masterclass Opening move decided to go a conservative Sicilian opening In 1999 he won Lagos State governor In 2003 when OBJ deceived all SW governors and the AD to not float their candidate that they should support him and in turn he will ensure they retain their seat, Tinubu disagreed with AD leaders on that arrangement. tsunami swept all AD governors only Tinubu survived Queens gambit declined He left AD, formed his own party AC and he was the only governor By 2007 to grow the party he reached out to Oshiomole offered him the AC ticket in Edo vs Prof Osunbor. Oshiomole lost Atiku and OBJ got into a fight a major fight, Atiku was in charge of PDM he was the strongest Northern politician and as the heir to Yar Adua, OBJ used YarAdua younger brother Umaru to break Atikus hold on PDM Tinubu saw an opportunity to woo a powerful politician and get on his good side, he gave Atiku a platform to contest the 2007 election obviously Atiku had no path to win. He made Ben Obi Atikus vice. They lost but Tinubus profile started rising Short side castling He sponsored candidates in AC all over Nigeria. He brought many politicians treated badly and denied a ticket into his fold e.g Ngige Akume He brought Fashola a technocrat as governor but didn't hand over the political keys to him Fasholas performance became the standard for ACN to campaign and win many hearts across the nation Knight advance Below is the critical part of the game which would have effect in the future The criminal elections of 2007 conducted by Obasanjo which was reputed to be the worst election in Nigerian history handed Tinubu a huge opportunity He found an ally in Justice Salami of the appeal court who was instrumental in restoring the Oshiomole and Fayemi and Aregbesola into power AC grew into 4 states. Open file Bishop Mimiko of Labour Party who was denied the ticket was also in tribunal vs Agagu. Tinubu approached him to provide logistic support with belief that Mimiko will decamp into ACN. Mimiko won but declined to join ACN By 2011 Tinubu spread beyond the SW approached strong politicians who were denied a ticket or chased out of strong parties but knew he couldn't take on the FG alone at this time. He was the 3rd force in 2011 Mid game starts with slight positional disadvantage Buhari controlled all Northern states with his new CPC, Jonathan and PDP controlled most SE NC and SS states CPC and PDP were stalemate here comes tie breaker Tinubu. Buhari in his idealistic thinking felt he could do by picking Bakare a Pastor with zero structures. He didn't agree to Tinubus terms. GEJ saw the opportunity approached Tinubu who tactically floated a dummy Ribadu and Fola Adeola(2 moslems who had zero political structures and were barely politicians) he knew weren't going anywhere. Tinubu stepped down all ACN machinery in the SW and allowed the PDP a free ride. Now he has become a major power broker who tactically made Jonathan president without appearing to. Knight fork After winning in 2011, Jonathan started some aggressive moves to break Tinubu so he won't have to beg everytime. One of such moves was to make a SW Mulikat Adeola Speaker, Jonathan thinking was to raise a powerful SW politician that will be an alternative to Tinubu. Tinubu knew this was an act of aggression on their gentleman handshake and he mobilized the ACN reps to reject Mulikat and support Tambuwal, Counterplay sacrificed pawn to gain positional advantage Buhari lost 2011 again and started crying on TV and was hopeless. As a man of strategy Tinubu knew Buhari was at his low and vulnerable point, he approached Buhari this time Bubu was more than willing Tinubu started the cleanup of Buhari's image from a clueless out of touch military religious extremist guy to this misunderstood charming, introvert, gap toothed, strong man that Nigeria needed at this critical time to get rid of corruption and PDP indiscipline This chess player goes into deep analysis and thinking Thus APC was birthed with the plan to use Buhari's popularity with Tinubu's money and skilled politicking to push Buhari into power but this time Tinubu was to pick Buhari's vice. APC also won over Atiku after he lost out in PDP and breakaway PDP governors. Atiku came into the convention ground hoping to buy the ticket as usual Buhari has never done any real competitive primary in a party everyone didn't worship him. Primary ground, Buhari was stunned about how Atiku was about to steal the ticket right there with money . Until Tinubu matched Atiku dollar for dollar and Buhari won the ticket Middle game management used knight to fend off offensive This is where the game starts getting interesting.. Now the deal was for Tinubu ACN to provide the Vice. Tinubu knew he was interested in succeeding Buhari. And giving a strong vice would build up the Vice politically over 8yrs and might build enough goodwill to succeed Buhari This was Tinubu's biggest masterstroke. He gave Buhari an Osinbajo who was smart but has the political clout of a 13yr old girl. Osinbajo was a very safe choice, he was not popular nor charismatic enough to gather the clout to state Jagaban in the face There were other options like Fashola and Fayemi but they were risky and could get ambitious and endear themselves to people Buhari asked Tinubu for 3 choices, Tinubu returned with one choice an unknown Yemi Osinbajo who will complete 8yrs and have less to nothing in political power to challenge for the seat Queen advance Buhari won election and Tinubu is in a good position Nationally acknowledged as the brain behind the success, thus issues started cropping up, fissures grew in the hurriedly assembled APC. Saraki wanted more than he was offered and broke the party, Buharis packaging has now begun to fall off, the makeup was beginning to melt and the man behind the mascara was beginning to show and its not pretty, Tinubu was schemed out by Buharis CPC friends including Abba Kyari and ElRufai, Things were not going to plan Should he pull out of the APC, blurt out or maintain status quo and reach out to enemies The Queen beat a tactical retreat Throughout Buharis regime, many party internal issues came up, Buhari stayed aloof, Osinbajo stayed on the fence but Tinubu dove head on into the murky waters, aggressively supporting his men, He got bruised in many places like Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, Kano, Oyo but he stuck to his men and was even rumored to be schemed out Officer exchange, Sac Bishop for Knight Comes 2022, Tinubu has broken into the ranks of governors in his party and showing loyalty to them in times of trials won him a lot of die hard loyalists like Oshiomole and Ganduje who will lay their lives for him By now Tinubu had taken control of all the APC structures and wanted the party to go for a direct primary, Some felt there was no way they could match the network of Tinubu in a direct primary and pushed for indirect where only chosen delegates voted Tinubu called upon his network of Governors and allies when Buhari wanted to anoint Lawan, they stood up and insisted it goes to the South. He won the primary Rook to center, End game starts with significant positional advantage Opposition started panicking, the were split into multiple factions Obi, Kwankwanso G5 and Atiku. Tinubu though weakened by many of the policies under Buhari including Cash swap, fuel scarcity, general insecurity, failing health, etc. His generals stood behind him like Allied forces stood behind General Eisenhower in the battle of Normandy in the final offensive against Nazi Germany. When the boats were rocking his Northern governors came out forcefully, He then found an invaluable ally in the G5 and Wike who was aggrieved from PDP and swore to neutralize Atiku everywhere. Late hour Wike declared for Tinubu, neutralizing an important state for Obi and Atiku Rook moves to the 7th rank Elections are conducted Tinubu leading and appears ready to make his checkmate move on May 29 when he is expected to be sworn in as Commander in Chief You can see it was a gradual ascension filled with scheming which he lost some but won many This man called Jagaban who many people do not like but smart people deeply respect He understands politics. He is smart enough not to fight anyone dirty thus always leaving the room for reconciliation open, the power of compromise give & take, persuasion and when to use the power of money Most times those who fight Tinubu can only do it on the pages of paper By the time you meet him, His humor, his slow thick voice, his offer he will give you, You most likely will leave him calm and ready to compromise 536 Likes 101 Shares |

Good one! This was exactly what I analysed for some of these political neophyte but they refused to understand nor accord appropriate respect to Jagaban. The truth is that his 'Emilokan' slogan was not a fuse but a well thought out representation of his political chronicles for the presidency. He earned my respect the day I realized that he was far ahead of his detractors. He was humble, strategic, ready to lose today for the greater good of tomorrow (did you remember how Oshiomhole was treated as national chairman after delivering Buhari?) and in all, he had his eyes on the goal(to become a president). I think rather than this backlash and hatred from some youth, they should start learning some of his steps as guide to rise politically. Asiwaju as governor of Lagos gave every tribe in Lagos a level playing field irrespective of your religious and tribal leaning. Congratulations, His Excellency, President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Nigeria's latest GCFR) - May your tenure bring peace, prosperity and progress to Nigeria and Nigerians notwithstanding their political affiliation, Religion or Region of Origin/Resident.

We now see exactly where the problem is in Nigeria North is really not the problem of Nigeria But the South west They are taking advantage of the fact that north and south east are not in good terms due to the war fought in the past to continue romancing the north That devilish mentality and snake like nature will stop one day Look at adeboye that led a protest during Jonathan era kept mute South west got no reason to claim anymore that they are the most educated...this election open their yansh well. The four major contestants were from the three major tribe So it means we the South South are the one to choose the most suitable for Nigeria without biased because they are not our brothers And we chose choose obi but due to tribalism the South west refused and supported a man who is sick mentally and physically...national anthem was going on he wasn't Aware If you can't handover your daughter or sister for Marriage to a sick old man with dementia not physically and mentally fit. Some one not aware of his environment but still you want to support same man to head 220 million Nigeria at this point of our critical situation then may you and your family know no peace If you are emotionally attached to your tribe, religion and political leaning to the point that the truth and justice becomes secondary consideration then your education is useless, your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments. You are liability to man kind Everyone should retweet and save this so that our future kids will know that at some point in the history of Nigeria we were caught in between the Devil( tinubu, atiku) and redemption( obi) But the South west spoilt dragged us back because of tribalism Every sane Nigeria should look at this and read a meaning to it 1) Tinubu political party and administration is ruling but he was unable to win Abuja where them sit down put 2) his own state of origin osun. Even a twelve year old will win thier own state yet he was unable to win 3) all development in lagos is attributed to Tinubu and he is regarded as the father of lagos yet he was unable to win Nigerians should put on thier conscience and see that tinubu was rejected completely by Nigerians I'm from the South South( Edo to be precise) 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Reno already told you guys Tinubu is the biggest beneficiary of Obidients movement. If it was just Tinubu against Atiku, Tinubu would never win because of the hatred Igbo have for him, they would rather vote for Atiku and their darling PDP. South South and South East votes would be going to Atiku and Tinubu would never be able to win the North in a landslide. They need a diversion someone to take away south south and south East votes and Peter Obi played the role very well. Give it to the master strategist without Peter Obi contesting in this Election Tinubu would never be able to win against Atiku even with federal might. Tinubu will be forever grateful to Peter Obi 44 Likes 7 Shares

Tinubu was an excellent politician, but I repeat, 'he is not fit to rule this country now. I voted Obi and I will vote him again if given another chance under the same circumstances. I am not a fan of Obasanjo. Whatever condition that we find ourselves in this country today, Obasanjo laid the foundation. His government spent billions of dollars on electricity to put us in the perpetual darkness we found ourselves today. He took election rigging to an ignoble hight. Who does not know about the incessant political murders that characterized his government. When people, especially easterners glorify that man, I laughed. Buhari led the worst government ever, but he achieved what Obasanjo and Jonathan could not do for the igbos- the second Niger bridge. 19 Likes 3 Shares |
