...As South-West People Queue Behind TINUBU
Do you know that the recent victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate did not go down well with a group of Northern politicians who dread power shifting to the South, come 2023 presidential elections?
Yes,
we can confirm that authoritatively. We can also reveal that The Cabal, made up
of top Northern politicians and opinion moulders (mainly Fulani) has begun
moves to start canvassing for votes for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP
presidential hopeful, who is a Fulani.
They
feel it is only the victory of Atiku over Tinubu that can keep power safely in
the North. Already, some of the proponents of this view who are in APC have
started reaching out quietly, to the grassroot to see if they can convince
Northerners to see Atiku as the man who will help guarantee the continuation of
the North in power.
Revealed
an insider, because of the unpopularity of their position, it has been
difficult for them to come out openly to advocate, mobilising votes for Atiku.
The
Cabal has already reached out to some of the Nothern APC Governors to support
their narrative.
City
People gathered that what they have against Tinubu was how he outsmarted them
at the last APC presidential primary.
Insiders
revealed that months to the primary, Asiwaju wriggled out of all the stumbling
blocks put his way to frustrate him.
Going
by their plan, revealed the insider, the primary was not supposed to take place
at all. The APC presidential candidate was supposed to have been picked through
Consensus, but it was Asiwaju’s last-minute efforts that made that impossible
to achieve.
The
way they had planned it, the President was just expected to pick the candidate
from the list of aspirants and others were supposed to just step down at the
primaries. That Tinubu got the buy-in of the Northern APC governors to zone the
slot to the South didn’t go down well with the Cabal. That they couldn’t force
Senate President, Ahmed Lawan on the party a few days before the primary got them
even angrier.
City
People gathered that Tinubu is aware of all these moves being made by the Cabal
and has put his own counter-offensive in place. Part of it is to visit a lot
of the key players in the North to plead for understanding and support. Over
the last few days, Tinubu has been up in Abuja, meeting with key Northern
personalities. He has also alerted the APC Northern governors of that grand plot by the Cabal to get Northerners to vote for Atiku, so as to shame him.
Meanwhile,
as this move is going on, Tinubu has been receiving more support from across
the South-West. A lot of key personalities have decided to queue behind Tinubu.
City
People has also discovered that many of those who at the outset didn’t support
Tinubu have changed their minds.
A
cross-section of South-West people who City People spoke to recently explained
that going by the situation of things in the country, it will be foolhardy for
them to vote for a Northerner now. They believe that a Tinubu presidency will
put an instant end to Banditry, Kidnapping and the general Insecurity pervading
the country. Some also say that Tinubu has the magic wand to revive the ailing
economy, among other things.
The
general view among the Yoruba intelligentsia is that Tinubu is the only seasoned
Yoruba politician, with guts, who can stand up to the machinations of the
Northern Cabal which desires to continue Northern rule.
