Debate Over Tinubu’s Future After Buhari’s Move

The recognition of the Victor Giadom led tendency and the subsequent dissolution of the National Working Committee, NWC of the All Progressives Congress, APC has fueled speculations on the future of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the party.

The moves came at a time when Tinubu was asserting his authority over the APC with his proxies in full control of the party through appointment into key positions.

However, the appointment of Senator Abiola Ajimobi as the deputy national chairman, South was said to have been the last action that reportedly broke the camels’ back forcing President Muhammadu Buhari to step in with the dissolution of the NWC that was framed in Tinubu’s image.

The development has elicited strong discussion on social media with insinuations that Tinubu and his reported 2023 presidential project is now derailed.

There were, however, some core Tinubu followers who said that the former Lagos governor would have prepared adequately for what they called as a betrayal.

GWG gathered the following tweets:

APC Chairman Gaidom excludes Asiwaju Tinubu's name from attendees of the APC Teleconference which is to hold tomorrow.

God father ndi mmuó ??

Beast of no Nation

Could it be true that Tinubu wasn't invited to APC NEC meeting taking place tomorrow?

If that happens, then the end is near.

THERE IS NO Integrity WITHOUT Loyalty. Anywhere Tinubu Go, I Will Go! He is a Man Who Battles For His Convictions & Never Afraid To Stand Tall & Strong. There is Nothing New Today That Was Not Experienced Yesterday. Something Must Kill Man & ALL DIE NA DIE!

I am not interested in the affairs of APC national secretariat, who becomes its chairman, or the political fate of Mr Tinubu for now. I am more concerned about why the NEC meeting of a political party is being held in the state house on tax payers money? pic.twitter.com/usFVRbQ65N

I want the Tinubu faction of the APC led by Ajimobi to suspend president Buhari from the party if he goes ahead to attend Gaidom’s NEC. I want them to be courageous.

Oshiomohole’s problem was carrying the Tinubu’s presidential project on his head and all the careless statements he was making in secret meetings. They recorded him. Even if not on Edo, the cabal won’t rest until they remove him. pic.twitter.com/VI8iA71mMf

Even if you ask General @MBuhari to choose who to trust amongst:

* Bola @AsiwajuTinubu
* Rotimi @ChibuikeAmaechi
* Nasir @Elrufai, &
* @GEJonathan

Buhari will still choose Jonathan. Only a complete fool will trust backstabbers like Tinubu, Amaechi & Elrufai#BuhariTormentor

satan has no new tricks.

* They used Bola @AsiwajuTinubu and Rotimi @ChibuikeAmaechi to fight @GEJonathan
* They are using Amaechi to fight Tinubu
* When they finish using Amaechi, they will finish him themselves because he is too weak to threaten them#BuhariTormentor

Buhari has recognised Victor Giadom as the APC National Chairman. Lol
I wonder what Oshiomole camp, Tinubu camp, and Ajimobi camp are passing through right now.
Call to check on them.
Buhari ti gbe won ni goal goal.

I think that someone was anointed by Buhari for president today. And I do not think Tinubu made the cut…
— Sir Lord Mayor (@kunmmii) June 25, 2020

All APC Governors, All the leadership of the National Assembly, Past Chairmen of the APC, the President, Vice President, NWC Members will be at the Villa tomorrow for the NEC….

ONLY ONE MAN wont attend, he's BOLA TINUBU. He's not a member of APC NEC, https://t.co/UbAj4uoqGi
— Toyorsee. WellBeing Couture✂ (@toyosky4real) June 25, 2020

Atleast 50% of the APC NEC members are loyal to Tinubu, but you think him not attending means Giadom is trying to fall the Jagaban Empire.

How daft can you be to reason this way?

God Bless PMB
God Bless PYO
God Bless Jagaban

I told Tinubu this ??on the 23rd of Dec 2018. People never bothered to ask me why?
Tinubu can only be a regional leader of the Southwest, but will never be Nigeria's President. Those who fail to learn from history, will be used as history for others to learn. @ose_anenih https://t.co/h6Xcv9HD5X

Game up for Tinubu.

Although it is unwise to bet on politics, I can cautiously bet Tinubu won't get that ticket.

And with Buhari's endorsement, armed with court order I do not say a path for Oshiomhole.

As I predicted last week, APC might splinter into two factions.

???????????

1. Oshiomole is GONE!
2. The Edo @OfficialAPCNg Primary held by Oshiomole’s NWC faction is illegal.
3. Pastor Ize-Iyamu needs to move to another Party asap.
4. @GovernorObaseki will win the election.
5. The Cabal has moved against Tinubu.
6. @kfayemi…hmm https://t.co/RQGvBGMsgL

Massive Power Shift from Bourdillon to Ado-Ekiti…!! @kfayemi did this, the Tinubu group should calm down and eat Pap.
— TosinPhD (@Donteewrites) June 24, 2020

The only people that expected Tinubu to be President.

Are people that thought someone whose Supporters killed Youth Corpers and did not condemn it…

Will let Starboy run the economy while he tackles Boko Haram..lmao??

Everyone with half a brain expected the dumping..
