El-Rufai And Sheik Gunmi Are Realizing The Consequences Of Their Actions
It seems like there’s a discussion about the marginalization of the North at the Federal level. El-Rufai and Sheik Gunmi are realizing the consequences of their actions.
For the first time since 1960, the North has lost control of all the three branches of our “democracy” – the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary.
That is bad enough. They have also lost the security and armed forces, and the Federal Capital Territory. One of my sages who always believed that Northerners are more politically astute than Southerners must be baffled.
Given the Presidential system of government we adopted; and a Southern Chief Justice in office, why was it impossible for them to foresee that the ultimate line-up of power would be as follows: President– South, Vice President – North and Senate President – South?
In fact, he should go and find out what happened to Tinubu’s Deputy Governors.
This is a follow-up to last week’s article; based on my conviction that Buhari and Tinubu have started to entrench a pattern of leadership which would destroy our Federal Republic faster than anything else – unless an alliance of minority groups rescues us. Buhari behaved as if his election amounted to a Fulani-Muslim capture of Nigeria.
As everybody knows, Vice Presidents invariably end up reading newspapers – after the honeymoon period, when the President is consolidating power and creating his own cabal. Nothing suggests that Shettima will avoid the same fate. Buhari behaved as if his election amounted to a Fulani-Muslim capture of Nigeria.
Tinubu is now following the same footsteps by making appointments suggesting Yoruba conquest. That attitude to governing Nigeria must be stopped now in its tracks before the nation is destroyed.
The departure of Buhari and the political defeat of Atiku and Kwakanso has created a political leadership vacuum in the North which Gunmi is now attempting to fill by appealing to regional, ethnic and religious sentiments.Gunmi has taken aim at Tinubu and Wike at the same time. The two represent the North’s present predicament.
He has taken the FCT Minister’s portfolio as his handle to cry out against unprecedented Northern marginalisation. Since then, an avalanche of Southern rejoinders have followed – from Ohaneze, PANDEF, Afenifere, etc – among other more responsible groups.
