The North Is About To Do A Double Yaradua On Nigeria.

To think Tinubu's influence starts and ends in the SW will be highly naive.

Since these last 8ys, Tinubu has expanded his political outreach beyond the SW. He has been actively financing aspirants under the APC especially in the north. The APC today controls a vast number of states across the north.

You should also come to realize that the Yaradua 2.0 option used by Obasanjo on the north alongside Yaradua 1.0 used by Shehu Yaradua on IBB is being used on Tinubu by same northern elements.

What do I mean by the above ?.

For starters, Yaradua 1.0 was activated to forestall Buhari from picking his own replacement that would have come from his alienating Aso Rock Cabal. By forcing a southern candidate on Buhari and the APC, Buhari has no horse in the race and as such has become indifferent to who his successor will be which we can all see with Buharis refusal tojoin Tinubu on his campaign trail.

The north is thus using Tinubu on Buhari just as Shehu Yaradua used MKO to get IBB to agree to a transition. The senior Yaradua will later open up in his book to say that they only (northern power brokers) supported a transition and MKO to get rid of IBB.

By deploying Yaradua 2.0, the north insisted on Shettima as Tinubu's VP knowing fully well that Tinubu's health or any other extra constitutional means (use your imagination) can then be used to get the highly unelectable Shettima into Aso Rock just as Obasanjo snuck GEJ into power.

It is for this reasons that no one should underestimate Tinubu winning northern states as northern governors, legislators and politicians who have benefited from Tinubu's support will surely benefit financially by campaigning for him as they are doing now. This will not only clear their conscience on reciprocating Tinubu's past support but also a major cash out for them. And when you consider that Tinubu can be disposed off anytime after he has been sworn in for their Boko Shettima, you now get to see how the north is playing 5D chess in this game.

It is for this reason that a Tinubu presidency is a trojan horse for the radical hawkish extremist north to get their unelectable fanatic candidate into office.

This last warning above should not be taken lightly as the north has every reason to back Tinubu to victory as against the more moderate amicable Atiku or a tolerable Kwankwaso.

As for Obi, he is just a steam valve to reduce the frustration in the SE. He goes no where.
