Buhari’s ground-breaking dinner (sorry, breaking of fast) with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Aso Rock Villa yesterday must have introduced serious sorrows in a lot of political families out there. Professional activists must have been humbled as well.
Given the crisis that preceded and followed the election of principal officers of the National Assembly, it was as if Asiwaju had become another Afonja, completely swallowed by the Fulanis, and never to ressurect despite the Apaji that the old man had as C-in-C of the Yoruba Nation’s Armed Forces. But it appears Tinubu has broken the jinx.
The fear of an average Yoruba Leader, in modern times, is to become another Afonja – enter into an alliance with the core North and having every agreement repudiated with physical or political death as reward for steadfast loyalty in the face of doubts among the folks of the South-West.
Of course, yours truly knew there were some background moves. But almost to the last person, it was expected that a Bashorun MKO Abiola-like treatment will be given Tinubu with renegade progressives from Yorubaland benefiting from his fall. This has not happened, at least from the events of last night shown for all across the globe to see.
The Jagaban Borgu has since taken to the air assuring all and sundry that APC’ll deliver on its promises, despite the perceived slow pace of Mr. President..
Oko awon ti Igbakan ni Tiletoko is back. And dutifully too. The Ologinnis across board jubilating about the old man being submerged must surely be in a sad mood today.
Hello, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ‘soldiers’ in Naija, una dilemma don resurrect o!
Time for the APC across board to start delivering dividends of the promised CHANGE!
