The prob is who will bell the cat?

There is also the ethnic factor, if a Fulani ex president is to be prosecuted, The Fulanis will cause serious mayhem, same goes for all the other tribes

It's not likely that a sitting Nigerian President will allow an ex-president to be arrested. The reason is that if a President allows an ex-president to be arrested, it will open a door that will allow other future President to allow him be arrested when he becomes an ex-president

Emilokan Tinubu can arrest anybody once awon Iya Arogbaaso mabale tell him they are still behind him.

If Emilokan Tinubu arrests Olusegun Obasanjo, no single Yoruba will complain because Olusegun Obasanjo is a persona non grata in Yoruba land.

If Tinubu arrests Buhari, nothing will happen. If Fulanis start any nonsense, they will be met with equal nonsense by Yoruba, Hausa, Tiv, Igala, Nupe, Kanuri and other Northerners.

If Tinubu arrests Goatluck Jonathan, he would have deployed soldiers to the creeks like one week before the arrest. Anybody wey want to die for him will be assisted by soldiers to die with honour.
