Time To Rally Round Bola Tinubu, By Femi Aribisala by seunmsg(m): 9:32am On Oct 04, 2016 |
Let me re-introduce myself in case you have forgotten. I have been an implacable critic of the politics of Bola Tinubu. Among others, I have written articles against Tinubu entitled: “What Does Tinubu Want?” “Time to Get Rid of Tinubu’s Cronies;” “Time to Disgrace the South-West Godfather;” and “Don’t Cry for Bola Tinubu.” I stand by every one of those articles, even though the warnings I gave in them went largely ignored. http://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2016/10/04/time-rally-round-bola-tinubu-femi-aribisala/ 66 Likes 5 Shares

It's like femi aribisala and femi fani kayode are both related. Anyway to the topic, i agree with femi aribisala on certain points. The reason why yorubas must support tinubu is because tinubu will protect the interest of south west more than buhari or anybody from the north. This is a man that has been holding the south west together since 2011 or thereabout. Now some elements are seeking to cut him into size. People think tinubu is a wicked man, but i think he is the victim here. I hear amosun is part of the gang up, if that's true then amosun is an ingrate. In 2011, prior to the governorship election in ogun state, former governor osoba almost frustrated amosun out of the then ACN, because osoba was still nursing old wounds about his 2003 election loss to gbenga Daniel in which amosun played a major role in his defeat But tinubu ensured amosun picked the ticket as against opposition from many people in the party, because they believed amosun was a newcomer. But tinubu believed in amosun that he was the right man for the job. 2015 again, osoba struck again, both amosun and osoba fought for the control of Apc in the state. With tinubu's backing , amosun was able to control the party structure in the state. Osoba eventually left the party for amosun. Despite the fact that osoba was tinubu longtime ally. So, if amosun is part of the gang up, then he is an ingrate. I stand with Asiwaju on this 142 Likes 7 Shares |

All Tinubu needs to do is to start making plans to form another alliance that links truly progressive Northerners with those of the South-West, South-East and South-South. The possibility of that happening should give him a new fillip. At the very least, it would put him back into reckoning, ensuring he can only be ignored at great cost. Femi Aribisala and his PDP principals can't even wait for Tinubu to declare that he's leaving APC before they start dangling the carrot of realignment to him. Like I once said before, those who intend to oppose Buhari in 2019 are already salivating at the prospect of an alignment with Tinubu. The rate at which former opponents and critics of Tinubu are falling over each other to support him shows clearly that they all admire and crave for his support from afar. The current crisis has opened the door for a possible realignment and it is left for the handlers of the President to handle the current rift in the party with care else, he may have himself to blame. 54 Likes 3 Shares |

@seun. I read this piece with open mind. I admire tinubu alot but i was very surprised that tinubu aligned with buhari in the first instance. I know he's trying to expand his influence beyond south west but aligning himself with the north without taking thinking about how awolowo was used and dumped by the north. Tinubu and the yorubas as a whole should apologise to the rest of south for joining the north. I stand for biafra but i would also stand for a nigeria where the south south,south east and the south west would stand together and fight this scourge called north. My only issue is whether the yorubas can be trusted. 117 Likes 8 Shares |

From Fani Kayode to Femi........ Buhari if you have plans to come back in 2019 or want to install a successor, you better extend the hand of friendship to Tinubu. As at today, the presidential candidate for the two major parties in 2019 would be northerners, so the votes would be split in that region. SS and SE would vote against APC, The battle ground is the SW and Tinubu is worth 2 million votes here. 25 Likes |

I don't see Buhari winning the election in 2019. He definitely won't get the SE and SS votes. Those on ground in the SW will tell you that there is growing widespread disillusionment with Buhari in the region akin to how Jonathan lost their good will. He better retrace his steps as he doesn't have anyone with the clout of Tinubu that can sell him in the SW. He was a bad product that was transformed by the media into a sellable candidate. A media controlled by the SW. His abysmal handling of the fulani herdsmen recurring saga has cost him goodwill in the NC which will cost him votes there in 2019. So the question is how does he hope to win in 2019 without the SW or Tinubu? If history is anything to go by, the SW will betray Buhari in 2019. I expect Tinubu to foresee this going by the political pulse on the ground. 30 Likes 1 Share |

It is now confirmed that we now have two type of zombies... The buhari led zombies and the tinubu led zombies. Since we now have this factions... Permit me to analyse that the buhari led faction will always find a need to praise buhari even in worse scenarios and are enthusiastic to put him back in power even if it takes them soaking the baboons with blood. While the tinubu led zombie faction won't buy into the idea of buhari returning to power as they are bent on revenging the embarrassment of using and dumbing their god asiwaju tinubu thus criticizing buhari every move even if it is sincere they will go ahead using all forms of propaganda to witch hunt him and pull him down... In conclusion the tinubu led zombies has added wailing into their doctrine and thus I confer to them the only wailing zombies of nairaland and beyond. ![]() So anytime you see the wailing zombies used together know it is the tinubu zombies at work. They regard themselvesal as progressives.. Donno whether towards zombiism or wailing...lmao ![]() 55 Likes 7 Shares |

They will all be back to Bourdillon by this time next year; latest early 2018. Hate or love BAT, he's always backed performers . . . his style is 'chop and do', the others style is 'chop and chop and clean mouth'. As long as Lagos is performing in bounds and setting standards, breaking records, BAT's influence will be rock solid. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

EasternActivist: Okadigbo and Ume-Ezeoke were his running mate in the 2003 and 2007 elections, we know the outcome. yoruba's supported GEJ in 2011 because we believed he would be a departure from the past. He failed to deliver and we voted him out. Again in 2015, we supported Buhari because he presented himself as a change agent and someone who will fight and stop the mindless corruption that took place under GEJ. So far so good, we are still observing his government. If we find any reason not to support him in 2019, we will definitely withdraw our support and vote for another candidate that appeals to us. It has nothing to do with hatred, tribalism or partisanship. You Ibos can vote base on hatred, tribalism and partisanship but not we Yoruba's. We are guided strictly by patriotism and national interest. 119 Likes 16 Shares |

Obviously, Tinubu needs new friends. He has been stripped bare of all honours due to him. His slow descent into political obscurity can be halted if he reaches out to his old foes. Unfortunately, the men he is up against are rabid politicians. They won't back off until he is fully crushed. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Everyone is busy speculating about the political calculus of 2019, but few are speculating about the economic conditions of 2019. What will be the price of garri , bread, milk and rice by 2019? Will people start eating rats and lizards for protein ? These are the important questions that should occupy our minds. It's really ironic how the ordinary folks bicker and fight among themselves about which BIGMAN should occupy ASO Rock and enjoy a N2b feeding budget while they, the ordinary folks are condemned to feed on rats and lizards. As it was in the 1960s, so it is today. Same politics. In another 100 yrs, it will remain the same politics. All politics, no progress. Unless power is devolved at the center, and we have regional autonomy, we will continue to go in circles for another 1000 years. 74 Likes 6 Shares |

seunmsg: I know you got my point so stop trying to shift my point to get it weak where there is none... When buhari choose those Igbo men, we have a southern president who are more competent. Igbo voted for competence against tribalism (obasanjo comes to mind) against hatred, partisanship and overall where first patriotic. This is not about love for Gej but the competency of Gej based on merit as against buhari (2011 elections) Fast forward to 2015, the Yoruba's brought into our politics what they called sophistication which is founded on hatred, betrayal, partisan, tribalism all before patriotism. We all know that Most of all this happening is not because of whether buhari is performing or not but selfishness and tribalism. If buhari and north should kick out tinubus fking ideas should that form the basis why the Yoruba's should term his administration a failure? That's bullcrap Meanwhile Sw didn't vote out Gej as their votes where even divided as not all southwesterners (including those residing) are tinubu zombies or apc zombies. Having said all this, if the sw won't continue staying loyal to buhari and his cohort and they (buhari and co) should turn eastwards for vp slot leaving osibanjo behind, the easterners will glady welcome them and apply the same politics as shun out by the Yoruba's in the last election and he shall win... Go and ask the ottah farmer. Foolish use and dumb hypocrites. 50 Likes 6 Shares |

[b] Those who are never a progressive for once now coming out as part of progressive demonstrating a fake sympathy. It is a shame that most people fall for FFK speculation where he pointed out 3cabals,that is where people are getting it wrong.Going by the body language nd Tinubu's speech yesterday, am still yet to see any chaos between him nd PMB.A lot of decision has been going on in the party that Mr President don't play the vital role as expected just like selection of the NASS leader. Oyegun took decision independently without the notice of PMB or BAT. Ever since FFK published a junk speculation about the state of APC/Tinubu a lot of writers nd media are just yearning gibberish here and there. Buch of joker's,they were expecting Tinubu to romance with them or float a new party, keep on dreaming. No reasonable politician will dismantle the institution that took his wealth, time,influence nd life to built b4 it succeed. Let wait nd see what will happen next but PMB will ever dare to fight Tinubu at this early moment. [/b] 4 Likes 2 Shares |

EasternActivist: See, how Ibos will vote in 2019 is not my business. All i know is that Yoruba's will always vote based on merit, patriotism, national interest and the dictates of the time. We voted against Buhari in 2011 despite the fact that Tunde Bakare was his running mate so, spare me the crap about tribal voting. If you guys want to do tribal voting in 2019, please go ahead but stop trying desperately to use the Yoruba's as an excuse for your voting pattern. 42 Likes 1 Share |

The way the North is running things. Moving Tinubu out of the way. Rigging elections in Edo State. Imprisoning anybody who opposes them. Silencing all critics! We cannot but laugh. Nigerians were warned. Tinubu was warned, and he felt he could handle Buhari. Well we can see that the North plan to rule their captives forever. That why they want to sell the assets in the south to the North. I thank God that IPOB & NDA dont agree with that philosophy. 23 Likes 4 Shares |
