“Buhari’s ambition is about to retire some people from politics and relevance forever.  I wish the youths could see the yawning gaps about to be created and slot themselves in.  I wish the youths strategically positioned for this coup de grace!  Or are they waiting to be called upon and handed the plaque on a platter of gold?  I am taught something that, ‘In the laws of sharing, you don’t give the slot of land owners to slaves!'”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is a party set to contest against itself.  So, within the ranks of the APC, anyone who thinks 2019 is where the battle is stationed doesn’t understand politics and what is playing up out there right now!

Like I had always maintained that 2019 is taken and pocked by Buhari and that forecloses the North’s own slot, and that fact had dawned on them all inclusive of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) – more reason why you all will notice the internal politics ongoing in the APC championed by Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

Hey, crap the South East 2023 slot because it won’t happen! The battle has shifted for the soul of 2023.  All the play-act you see in the Senate is Saraki’s own way of repositioning to consolidate for battle 2023! I hope anyone still remembers the “alleged” “commissioner” tag he placed on the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo?  He is being at it for long. He knows the South East won’t live up to expectations in the 2019 elections, hence the slot is coming to South West and Osinbajo is already better positioned and favoured!

The intriguing thing about today’s politics is that, Buhari’s second term ambition has turned to political misfortune for the Kwakwansos and the rest.  They would fizzle out of any serious competitive politics after 2019 elections.  All they would become are “godfathers” in their respective zones if they know how to sustain their relevance.

So, for all the rumblings and across board hatred, bile, alignments and realignments, you now know it’s about ambition rekindled and the ones about to perish!

Buhari’s ambition is about to retire some people from politics and relevance forever.  I wish the youths could see the yawning gaps about to be created and slot themselves in.  I wish the youths strategically positioned for this coup de grace!  Or are they waiting to be called upon and handed the plaque on a platter of gold?

I am taught something that, “In the laws of sharing, you don’t give the slot of land owners to slaves!”
