Yemi Osibanjo As Vp...apc's Masterstroke! by austinvsb1(m): 11:51pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
[b]I think this is APC's masterstroke! The best choice Tinubu can make. For those of you who didn't know Yemi Osinbajo, here is his CV and the political calculation that won him the VP ticket. (1) Yemi Osibanjo, is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and a Senior Partner in the Law firm of Simmons Cooper Partners. He is a Nigerian professor of Public law, former Solicitor General and Antorney-General of Lagos State, Nigeria during Tinubu's administration. He was rumoured to have owed his nomination into Tinubu's cabinet to RCCG church by Pastor Adeboye. (2) He is currently senior pastor in RCCG and one of the right hand men of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye. He's been a member of his official entourage for years now and he was Tinubu's pick for the proposed merger between ACN& CPC in 2011 b4 d merger crumbled. The proposed merger crumbled because Buhari refused to substitute Pst. Tunde Bakare (who was already his VP candidate) for Osinbajo (Tinubu's candidate). Tinubu's camp felt CPC can't have both d president and VP slot to themselves and still be talking merger. Hence Tinubu was rumoured to have struck a secret a secret pact with Jonathan that saw SW vote diverted to PDP. And pls note few days after d alliance deal collapsed; either by co-incidence or delibrate political power play, Jonathan appeared at Redemption Camp and Pastor Adeboye wittingly or unwittingly endorsed GEJ by laying his hand on him in that popular 'photo op' that spread like wildfire in 2011. It was there at the redemption camp that night that the Presidency was won and the king was crowned. Believe it or not that photo of GEJ kneeling down and Baba Adegboye laying hands on him swung d vote of the christian community for GEJ. Either by ommission or commission d rumour spread like wild-fire thereafter that GEJ was God's choice, cest-fini! Buhari's fate was doomed. Now let's analysis this scenerio with the emergence of Akinwunmi Ambode another RCCG member as APC's gubernatorial candidate for 2015. It was rumoured as far back as four years ago; immediately after Fashola's 2nd term victory that CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) will no longer back a muslim candidate after the tenure of Fashola. It was reported (either rightly or wrongly) that Tinubu personally assured Pst. Adeboye that he will make sure his next candidate would be a christian. The news circulated for months and years leading to the APC gubernatorial primaries. A year b4, all eyes began to turn towards a certain Akinwunmi Ambode, an RCCG member and a cabinet member of Fashola's APC goverment. It was further rumoured that Tinubu was said to have told Baba Adegboye that " Why look further for a Christian candidate when I have your son Akinwunmi Ambode a member of your church in Fashola's cabinet? We can make him d Governor." True or false as d rumour is, few months later that young man; Akinwunmi Ambode emerged APC's gubernatorial candidate and Tinubu went to great extent to virtually installed him against Fashola's choice of Hamzat. Now, how does this affect 2015 election? The king will surely be crowned in RCCG for sure. Tinubu has given RCCG and Pst Adeboye a Governorship candidate and a VP candidate for sure and that rightly nullify PDP's propaganda that APC is an Islamic party and also wipes Buhari's image as an Islamic fundamentalist. Don't be so naïve either to think RCCG will be neutral in dis battle. Baba Adeboye and RCCG will not abandon his own men particular his right hand man and protege Pastor Osinbajo for a certain Goodluck Ebele Joe. If there's one man who might likely get d hand laying 'photo op' endorsement this year at redemption camp, it is not likely to be Goodluck Ebele Joe, neither is it Buhari because he won't likely be there in d first place because it is akin to expecting OBJ or GEJ going to kneels before A NAFSAT imam for a Islamic endorsement. I think the man for this 'photo op' would be Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, afterall it is as routine for Baba as praying for our RCCG son and fellow RCCG pastor who is contesting the 2015 election. That tells u GEJ won't get that 'photo op' endorsement this year cos he won't be welcome in RCCG. Now RCCG's membership and followership cuts across over 10 million followers, also extending beyond it's territory into other churches. That is very huge number. Whoever Baba Adeboye endorses is always seen as God's choice by many even outside his church. Non will be willing to argue with it. The damage that will do to GEJ and PDP's unwritten propaganda posturing as a christian party will be huge! GEJ religious card is bound to crumble here as Tinubu has just struck a masterstroke in Osinbajo as Buhari's VP. Osinbajo's choice has just cut GEJ's votes in all geographical zones where RCCG has membership and that includes South South. An Amaechi or Oshiomole VP ticket will only dent GEJ's voting prospect in Edo or river but majority south southerner will still go with GEJ and see Amaechi especially as betrayer. Tinubu's masterstroke is spotting d need to cultivate d Christian vote for Buhari rather than be fixated with winning Amaechi's 2 million vote in Rivers nor Oshiomole paltry vote from Edo. With Osinbajo and RCCG more than 70% of d Christian vote will be secured and lock up in South West. Passable Christian votes in South South and South East will be added to Amaechi's vote that will still come in from Rivers (only that RCCG membership vote will now boost his efforts d more in terms of numbers ). Same applies to Oshiomole's territory. Now this are clearly the permutations that saw to the emergence of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as Buhari's VP.[/b] 17 Likes |

People like you will not vote Apc even if Jesus is on the ticket, so keep your opinion to yourself. Of course we don't expect Oritsejafor part of Can to vote anything Apc, since it's the religion arm of pdp, but trust me, most members of Can hate Oritsejafor and will vote Apc. naso2: 11 Likes |

babyosisi:No he didn't. But the last time Buhari contested, did the CPC have this type of structure that APC has? Did he have the support of Tinubu, Fashola, Oyegun, Oshiomole et all? Did his party then have control of 14 states? Have we known then that GEJ/PDP are so incompetent and corrupt to the extent we have now known? Things have changed greatly since and so shall the outcome be different this time around. For instance, in 2011, Buhari did not have the support of Tinubu, Fashola, Oshiomole, Amaechi, Oyegun and all other APC politicians which he now has. I am very sure that Tinubu and the rest APC governors will surely deliver the votes. Then PDP will be history. 30 Likes 1 Share |

For those with short term memory,need I remind you that presidential elections are totally different from gubernatorial If you doubt me ,look at the result of the 2011 presidential elections Despite being mostly ACN states,the only Yoruba state where ACN won and that by a mere 58% was Osun state aka Osun emirate The record is there for all to see All this chest thumping is for nought. Here it is http://nigeriaelections.org/presidential.php |

babyosisi: Your analysis is not only naive but lacks critical reasoning. So in your own imagination, Yorubas will prefer to vote PDP/GEJ that have maginalized them for 6 years in the scheme of things rather than vote a ticket that guarantees them a number 2 citizen? A ticket that is theirs as in APC candidate and not CPC or APGA? It's even funny to believe that elections will not hold in the NE and NW where the bulk of Buhari supporters and majority of his votes are and that election will be deemed credible enough to make GEJ a president. I have to give up on you at this point. Oya clap for yourself. 16 Likes 1 Share |

babyosisi: I don't mind discussing with people who are realistic. You could have made an argument to support that GEJ will win with good analysis. But to imagine that he will do so by winning in the SW reeks of ignorance. You keep basing that submission on what happened in 2011 ignoring the fact that CPC was nonexistent then plus the fact that Buhari had no Yoruba politicians of note supporting him then. Perhaps if you come up with better argument you may make some sense. 10 Likes 1 Share |
