Zanga-Zanga And Tinubu’s Crumbling Northern Alliance By Farooq A. Kperogi by Racoon(m): 8:42am On Aug 10 |
On the back page of today's Saturday Tribune, I discuss the erosion of the last vestige of goodwill Tinubu has in the North and the implication of this for his 2027 reelection prospects. I offer some suggestions. https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2024/08/zanga-zanga-and-tinubus-crumbling.html 39 Likes 2 Shares

Tinubu is just warming up! This is a man who knows how to turn challenges into opportunities. The North will come around when they see the positive changes unfolding. It's all part of the game; politics is never straightforward. He just needs to recalibrate his strategy and remind everyone of the progress he’s capable of. Renewed Hope is not just a slogan; it’s a vision that will prevail! 82 Likes 6 Shares |

He did not imagine the North as a competitor. Awolowo understood the differences and was just looking out for his people “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French,’ The word ‘Nigeria’ is a mere distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not” - Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 1947 51 Likes 6 Shares |

People who weren’t exempt from the rage of protesters can’t stop protesters from protesting. The self-inflicted attenuation of Tinubu’s political capital in the North plays into the old debate in the Southwest about the best coalitional strategy to attain and retain power for the Yoruba. 9 Likes

what has happened to Fani Kayode? The guy just quiet since. Whether anyone likes it or not one thing is clear: this is a new Nigeria where UNITY is the watchword & where the newly-established alliance & new-found trust between the people of the SW & the people of the North shall NEVER again be BROKEN.

Farooq Kperogi is just trying to stir up unnecessary drama. Tinubu's leadership is strong, and the Northern alliance is more united than ever. Those who think otherwise are just misinformed. 80 Likes 1 Share |

Take this man serious at your own peril. Before the APC presidential primaries, he gleefully claimed his sources in the corridors of power had told him Mr Tinubu was wasting his time and that he would never be President of this country. In one or more of his articles, he listed reasons why Tinubu would not win the primaries. He was so full of delusion, and still is today. More recently, he promised that the protest would portend the fall of the government. It hasn't. He must be very disappointed. Like he did before APC primaries, he is back again peddling views by a narrow group of so-called northern forces that he thinks will determine what happens in 2027. He told us he was certain Tinubu would not be allowed to be President. That prediction proved to be hot air. Now, he is back again posturing as the man who knows tomorrow. The man always pushes narrow sectional northern interests but hides under the cover of pro good governance to deceive naive Southern readers who can't read between the lines or know the man's inglorious history. People like him are never happy if a Northerner is not the President, or if they can't control a Southern president. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

It's sad that people are already talking about 2027 elections when Nigeria is currently on fire. But anybody who thinks that Nigeria will last another 10 years is on self-hallucinations. 5 Likes |

This analysis is too pessimistic, in my opinion. Tinubu has always been a master strategist; he knows how to navigate political storms. Instead of focusing on the protests, let’s see how he can leverage this moment to reshape his policies for the better. The year is still young, and there’s room for positive change! 77 Likes |

Your head was busy buried in the ground when you were blindly and unwisely pointing fingers at the igbos for the protest while your real enemies where sneaking up on you from behind. by this your comment, It seems to me that you have chosen to bury your head even deeper.

Tinubu's political acumen is on full display. He knows how to navigate the ever-changing tides of alliances in Nigeria. Those who underestimate him might just be in for a rude awakening. The North may be divided, but Tinubu is a master strategist; he always seems to find a way to consolidate power. 1 Like |

The problem most youths on this forum have, especially those from Southwest is that they are not really smart in their thinking, they are just commenting with hatred and dislike for Igbos and Peter Obi without being objective and smart and their foolishness is seriously affecting or will affect Tinubu's chances in 2027 if Tinubu plays according to their ignorant mindset. This poster gave you guys a daring secret exposure of what played out in 2023 and what is going on in the background. Bola Tinubu have an agenda to dismantle Northern political influence in Nigeria and Tinubu also have a plan to be the last influential Nigerian President as he plans to restructure Nigeria and return power to regions and LGA levels before he leaves office because he knows that if he fails to do these things before he leaves office, Northern political Mafias will regroup and use it to deal with his family and Yoruba region, so he is working hard to ensure he finishes the battle by dismantling that Northern political influence and grip on Nigeria and I honestly support him in that regard even though the battle is affecting Nigeria economically and otherwise. In 2023 Northern political Mafias wanted power to remain in the North under APC and when they realized that it may cause an uproar, they reluctantly chose to push the power to Atiku which was what gave Atiku the confidence not to bother about Wike and his Asoebi men's shenanigans because Atiku was so confident of his Northern brothers secret support. Tinubu being a smart politician worked on El Rufai's greed for power by quickly aligning with El Rufai to deceive him into thinking Tinubu would pick him as Running mate. Tinubu still deceived him after picking Shettima by making him his point man he was carrying about to key campaign moves including the one at London. Tinubu outsmarted the North in several ways and I give him kudos because he knew Northerners wouldn't have allowed him become President if he didn't act sick and about to die. He also knew that it would be difficult for him if he didn't carry El Rufai and co along, so he played them all. Even Aliko Dangote's ordeal is all part of Tinubu's decision to dismantle Northern political and economic influence in Nigeria and I commend Tinubu on that. Now like the Op rightfully pointed out, Northerners are trying to work on Peter Obi with an agreement to align with Atiku to defeat Tinubu in 2027 so that Obi would then take over in 2031 to do one tenure and return power back to North. And if they succeed in convincing Peter Obi to become Atiku's running mate in 2027, believe me, they might win Tinubu. Though the only challenge they would have is that if Peter Obi agrees to deputize Atiku in 2027, Obi will not get massive votes from Igbo youths like he got in 2023, Obi will also lose most Yoruba youth votes he got in 2023, but with a mass Northern vote Atiku/Obi would secure in 2027 if they marge together, it will overshadow the votes they would lose from Igbo and Yoruba youths that supported Obi in 2023. If Tinubu wants to checkmate their moves, what Tinubu should do now is to first realize that his Northern game is over and face South to consolidate his support base in the south and Middlebelt by doing the below things: 1.) Tell COAS and IGP to work seriously together to curb Fulani herdsmen attacks in Middlebelt states like Benue, Plateau, Kogi, etc 2.) Initiate or create a Middlebelt Development Commission to return back displaced Middlebelt indigenes and farmers 3.) Release Nnamdi Kanu at all cost without minding whatever nonsense his Yoruba kinsmen maybe thinking, this will return peace to Southeast and win Tinubu large supporters that Obi would lose should he mistakenly decide to deputize Atiku. 4.) Work seriously to actualize the extra one state in Southeast. 5.) Start paying Niger Delta youths a monthly stipend of say NGN50,000 in the name of any reason he can come up with, and this should be initiated around beginning of 2026 so it won't deplete Nigeria's scarce resources. 6.) Open Seme border to allow affordable foreign rice and other food items to flow into Nigeria to crash food/commodity prices and reduce hunger. If Tinubu work on these points I raised, he would most likely checkmate Northerners and whatever Zanga Zanga plans they may have and will win again in 2027 7 Likes |
