The stability of the West African subregion is predicated on the stability of Nigeria which is the powerhouse of the subregion.

Now, the stability of Nigeria is predicated on having a president who emerged through a transparent election, and the whole country and the world could see that yes, this man is the clear winner of this election.


Such a president will command the respect of not just majority of Nigerians but also the respect of foreign nations especially the Heads of Governments of the ECOWAS subregion.

For instance, look at Abia…. It’s clear even to the blind that Alex Otti won the governorship in the state. Opposition might sometimes question his policies but never his legitimacy. And look at the respect and followership he commands.

Look at Benue…. No matter how anyone hates APC, you cannot question the legitimacy of Fr Alia as governor of Benue. He won the election. PDP candidate saw he won the election. Labour Party candidate saw he won the election. And Nigerians saw he won the election.

Kano is similar to the above two examples as well. No matter the grouse Ganduje has with Kwankwaso, he cannot question the legitimacy of Aba Gida Gida. Abba won the election and that much is clear to everyone.

The above 3 instances are examples of where elections reflected the choice of the majority of the people and not even the wife of the losers would dare complain of their husbands being rigged out.

These 3 governors command absolute respect as drawn from their unquestionable legitimacy.

But same cannot be said of Tinubu’s victory….

INEC’s IREV had to develop “technical glitches” midway into the election to enable him ‘win’.

In an election conducted same day and time, the senatorial election results were transmitted successfully, House of Representatives results were transmitted successfully but it got to the Presidential election results and IREV developed “technical glitches”.

Oya, INEC, come and explain the nature of the glitches that you encountered, it’s been 4 months and they still can’t do it.

Nigerians are not animals. We have brains. If something genuinely went wrong, we would have known. And so we know that whatever happened on Election Day was a deliberate human manipulation.

But it was not only Nigerians that saw it…. ECOWAS observers report, which some people erroneously think approved of the election, condemned the election. European Union Observers condemned the election conduct. And so were other foreign observers.

That was where Tinubu lost legitimacy both at home and abroad.

And so when the Niger fracas ensued, the coupists had something to latch on to defend their action and refusal to relinquish power - the man who sits as ECOWAS chair and who is trying to lecture them on democracy is himself illegitimate.

They got their people to print banners with such message and protest in the streets. They even went as far paying foreign influencers to further wash all the dirty linens of Tinubu to the global audience.

But would they have done this if the Nigerian election had been free and fair and thrown up a man of unquestionable character as president? My answer is no. Because they wouldn’t have had anything on him. Maybe they wouldn’t even have contemplated a coup at the first place.

But because of how the election went and the character that was declared winner, Niger now had the impetus to challenge Nigeria for the first time since independence in 1960. It was so bad that we even sent our former Head of State and the Sultan as emissaries and they refused them entry into their country.

But it’s not only Niger, Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso have also thrown an affront at Nigeria by siding with Niger.

And gradually, ECOWAS is about to go in disarray. And if ECOWAS goes in disarray, the West African subregion will go in disarray too and so would whatever interest that US, UK and France are trying to protect go to blazes as well.

What is the solution?

The only solution now is that the stakeholders of Nigeria (owners of Nigeria or whatever they are called) and the West (US, UK, France) who may have been supporting Tinubu for whatever reason best known to them, must now realize that Tinubu was a mistake that should not have happened in the first place. And if Nigeria must return to her place of pride in the ECOWAS subregion, then there is need for the country to have a president who will not only be respected at home but also outside the boarders of Nigeria. Once Nigerians regains her respect, she will can issue commands that would be respected and with it would come the stability of West Africa.

Failure of this, and a continued maintenance of the status quo, would further bring more disrespect to Nigeria and further destabilization of the West African Sub Region.

One thing I'm 100% sure of is this: no matter how clueless or helpless Tinubu might seem to some people right now, he's still heads and shoulders above his "ex-contestants" in terms of strategic reasoning, planning and execution. I see nothing they could have done better than he's doing now judging by previous exploits.

Does Peter Obi even know what is going on or does he understand what is at stake?

As for Atiku that went to arrange for Master's degree in international relations, he has suddenly become a local relations expert that is not allowed to speak on international matters.

Igbo will twist and turn and try to sound reasonable, but it is still the same Igbo that cannot just accept that they were defeated by a Yoruba and are only lamenting aimlessly.

The Obi that you campaigned for and lost but still campaigning for, has he even uttered a word about the international crisis that has been on for 2weeks?

You think the olodo who has no repute in West Africa can show the strength of leadership that Tinubu has demonstrated?

How ironic that you are pandering to the same colonial powers that you coup lovers have been denigrating since the past week.

What a rudderless shame.
