Osinbajo And The Reenactment Of Tunde Idiagbon by NosaHenry(m): 6:12am On Jan 05, 2015
Series of events and media hypes in the past couple of weeks have given credence to the fact that this forthcoming 2015 presidential election can go the way of either of the two major political parties viz, PDP or APC. Therefore it is expedient to give a thought to the likely pattern of government that will be formed at the centre. That of PDP is largely predictable, with little adjustment the pattern will assume what we have seen in the past couple of years. On the forgoing account, I wish to share my thought on the Buhari led APC government at the centre.
Prof Osinbajo, SAN and a renowned lawyer, would have by his background studied political science; therefore I am of the strong conviction that he must have certainly understudied Gen. Buhari especially as it relates to his 1983 – 1985 regime. One of the major fallout of that regime was the way and manner the government was led. It is a known fact that Buhari was the head of state, but was not really the head of government, his deputy Idiagbon was. Osinbajo, unlike many Nigerians who have been lauding Buhari for his seemingly liberal nature for giving Idiagbon free hand to operate, knows that Buhari did not just give Idiagbon free reign but for personal challenges bothering on educational inadequacy, inexperience in the act of governance and inherent docility of his person.
Buhari is a leader that wants to be led. Tinubu is aware of this fact and has tutored Osinbajo to carve a knit for himself right from this very beginning. Osinbajo, who himself come across as a reserve person has became even more visible than the presidential candidate himself in recent weeks and he seems to be running his show independent of his potential boss.
Here is my worry, come 2015 in the event that APC form the central government, events will not be as pleasant as they were during Buhari/Idiagbon military era. Tinubu is strategizing in a game plan that will eventually move the seat of power from Aso Rock to his Lagos office. This plan started even before the party primaries, he tactically edged out Atiku in preference for Buhari. His shop for a stooge to act as Buhari running mate, since he has became unelectable, made the idea of an Oshiomole or Ameachi who are independently minded, not among his choices. Osinbajo fitted perfectly to his game plan.
The problem I foresee is that the Northern establishment who are equally aware of their kinsman’s weaknesses (media have recently added terminal health challenge), will not sit idling by and allowed Tinubu and some south western sudden friends of the ‘messiah’ to become shadow president. They will be ready to guard and guide the Buhari led government to serve their northern interest. Their action might be so overtly carried out that Tinubu and his stooge will be cut out of governance. There goes the turbulence of Buhari/Osinbajo APC government come 2015.
Just my reflection.

You still don't get it do you?, even if GMB and Oshibs are stooges of Clifford Orji the known cannibal I'll still go ahead and vote for them.
Your likes keep creating fear in the minds of Nigerians in order to continue with current backwardness, stagnancy, corruption and horrors going on in the country, message like this one you are preaching is dead on arrival, no one will buy it, try another trick.
