Bola Tinubu and the Fulani Oligarchs - Charles Ogbu

The Fulani don't share power. They never did. They never will. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a political illiterate. 

When it comes to political power, the Fulani keep neither friends nor Allies. They only use you once they believe you can serve a particular purpose for them and once they achieve that purpose, they waste no time making sure you will never be in a position to help any other person or group achieve the same purpose you just helped them achieve. 

We may think them uneducated but trust me when I say they are sophisticated in the ways of political power. Even more sophisticated than most of you empty grammar-speaking southerners with your innumerable university degrees.

In Niccolo Machiavellian's "The Prince", it is advised that once a Prince is helped to power, the first thing he should do is to eliminate all kingmakers who helped him to power as that is the surest way of ensuring that the same powerful kingmakers don't use the influence they deployed to install The Prince to dethrone and replace him with another. This is exactly what the Fulani are doing to Tinubu.

Forget the 'gra-gra' you are seeing. 

Senator Bola Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, one of the smartest politicians to have walked this space and the one man who almost singlehandedly installed Muhammadu Buhari as President, is currently struggling to remain alive, politically. 

After what they did to him in Ondo state where they used his former political 'boy', John Oyegun, APC chairman, to replace his preferred candidate with Akereodu, they went a step further to strip him of his consolation title of national leader of APC. Even his own 'boy', Lai Mohammed categorically stated that Tinubu could not be the leader of a party that has a President. 

Now, the founder of the defunct ACN is just an ordinary APC chieftain like every other bigwig in the party. Don't forget, Buhari's CPC had just one state of Nasarawa, prior to the merger. It was Tinubu that gifted him with not just his ACN states but his very powerful media houses. All the devilish propaganda and ulcer-inducing lies that ended up convincing the 15million horde of gullible voters who believed Mr Daura-cula could make N1 to 1$ were made possible by Tinubu's media. 

Now, a tiny group known as the Fulani cabal who didn't take part in any of these have gone to yank off the gravely ill Muhammadu Buhari from his hospital bed abroad just to ensure that Tinubu's 'boy' Osinbajo's growing influence and popularity is curtailed.

From his photograph, you need not be a medical expert to know that the little-lettered and highly vindictive Chief Fulani herdsman is in terrible shape and in dire need of a permanent medical leave. But, in order to ensure that Tinubu does not get to steal the show from them through his political godson, Osinbajo, the scions of Danfodio went and brought back Buhari. 

Now, the little breath of fresh air we experienced under Osinbajo as acting president is gone. The highly-lettered law professor has been sent back to the political kitchen. Yet, our President is nowhere to be found. Or, has any of you seen the president? Has any of you heard directly from him?

The destiny of over 180million people is now in the hands of some political terrorists who have no limit to how far they are willing to go just so they would acquire, wield and retain political power.

I do not lay claim to superior intelligence over anyone but I've studied "The Fulani And Power" the exact way some of you studied whatever it is you read in school, and I can categorically tell you that even if it means putting Buhari on Life support till Thy Kingdom Come, Mammam Daura and co will do it as long as no one that is not one of them smells that seat.

Even in the event of Buhari's demise, Osinbajo will not be made President. Recall how they came up with the report that he spent millions of Naira on his gatehouse? If you think impeachment is such an alien word, just wait until the Fulani want you impeached. 

Senator Bola Tinubu is an experienced politician. One of the best, actually. When ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to turn Nigeria into a One Party state, Tinubu, along with others, made sure he failed when he protected his Alliance For Democracy (A.D) with all he's got. He fought tyrants like Abacha and almost paid the ultimate price. The story of Nigeria's democracy will not be complete without his name being mentioned. 

But, for his role in Buhari's 2nd missionary journey as Nigeria's President, Senator Bola Ahmed Asiwaju Tinubu has pitched his tent on the wrong side of history. History will remember Tinubu as a man who fought a murderous dictator but ended up foisting another murderous dictator on his compatriots for reasons not unconnected with sheer greed.

The ex-Lagos state governor probably knows Buhari better than any man alive. He knew about all the atrocities the ex-soldier committed during his short stint as head of state. He is not unaware of the fact that the Fulani don't share power with even their mothers. 

The only reason the strong man of Lagos politics, Tinubu, joined forces with Buhari was because having known the latter's medical record, he felt the God who did it for Jonathan could look unto him with mercy and also do it for him by sending Muhammadu Buhari on the same permanent errand he sent his fellow Katsina kinsman, the good man, Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. Argue this from now till 2019, deep down, you know that this is the truth and I know that you know. 

For Tinubu and virtually all Nigerian politicians, politics is business, not an avenue to better the lives of the common man.

Tinubu will be remembered as a man who voluntarily walked his compatriots back to the dark ages out of greed. No man, no matter how powerful, can make a private bargain with history.
