IF THE consensus arrangement and unity list scales the ruling APC is proposing for tomorrow’s convention scales through, then Tinubu”s political fate hangs on the balance. The same consensus will be used to shove him off.
Let him tight his last battle now or lose out. Buhari and the Fulani’s have proven they are not the fools some confused people ehave taken them to be.
Senator Abdullahi Adamu is someone I know. I followed his antecedents closely from the time he was Governor at Naarrawa State till now, he has no respect for dissenting opinion, and will certainly turn these governors into errand boys .He will just treat these APC Governors as small boys , no wonder they don’t want him. He will not tolerate any nonsense from them. The APC convention will be a do or die affair if Buhari fails to intervene
I know Adamu more than most of these governors, they cannot change the tide against him, and he will use them as servants, which they have made themselves by initially jettisoning every plan for a free convention because of selfish purposes.
Adams Oshiomhole has more democratic. credentials than Adamu. The APC Governors will have battles to fight after the convention
By the time it starts, these men will respect our views; It is the APC Governors lack of democratic. credentials that. brought them to this quagmires

Buharis APC Chairmanship Consensus Option, Fulani Finally Outsmart Tinubu: Igbo Presidency Almost Gone
Written by Obinna Akukwe
Buhari’s consensus option have finally put paid to the scheming of Tinubu to support either Ex Governor Al- l Makurs, Akume or Sheriff as APC National. Chairman. The same manner a. Consensus option will. be used to kill his presidential bid.
I warmed in a piece in 2020 on “Why Tinubu Should not be Dumped by Buhari’ and counseled that Jagaban be given a fair treatment, allowing him to eitherwin or lose fairly during primaries, devoid of manipulations and scheming. This consensus option is manipulative.
The next phase will play out after the convention. I have tried to alert Jagaban that there is fire on the mountain. but he is too busy to come down from high horses to listen to common sense advice. Now ‘water has passed garri’
The only option Jagaban has is to tight, and start the fight earlier. Senator Adamu will not support his presidential ambitions, except he is arm twisted. The new NWC will. Be glorified Commissioners under his Chairmanship, Period!
Tinubu lost Oshiomhole, lost Obaseki, lost Osinbajo, lost Aregbesola, failed to. Consult deeply. Ignored our warning, and about to end up in Buhari s Soup pot. Those who ignore seasoned political activists end up in shame..
I don’t hate Tinubu Presidential ambition and does not mind his being president because viable options within this turbulent nation-state is very narrow, but I don’t fancy people who cannot speak out when it is necessary.
Fulani’s have outsmarted Jagaban , let him start the fight before the new Jonathan bride emerges
.
Meanwhile, I am not averse to Adamu Chairmanship because at least he will not tolerate any nonsenses from anybody. And may likely instill some party disciplines. Adamu and Bode George have same antecedents.
Igbo’s of the South East are nowhere in the equation. Okorocha and Uzwciodimma feud rubbished Igbo chances. Let Igbos continue to lap IPOB while other regions are scheming, strategizing and permutating..
