Three of the people who had a meeting with you before the primary election of the (APC) that made you the President-Elect, are your sworn enemies. Ask Oshiomhole.
They thought that the former Chairman of the Alll Progressives Party (APC), Adam Oshiomhole, was your ‘boy’, and therefore must be done away with, so as to ‘deal’ with you for good, which is synonymous with banishing you and your ambition for ever.
Well, they got their wish by getting Oshiomhole out of the way which however, did not stop you from winning your party’s primary election, and later, the country’s Presidential election.
But people like the present Governor of Katsina State, Rt. Honourable Aminu Bello Masari had campaigned for power shift to the South, with you as the Presidential candidate of the ruling party, APC, if you like.
Your support and assurances made President Buhari recant his decision not to contest the Presidency again. This much they can’t claim to be ignorant of.
Still, they went ahead with their futile scheming against you, but God Had the final say in the matter.
Therefore, do not allow yourself to be stampeded into doing what is politically incorrect because they did not do what they did in the interest of the people.
That much most people are aware of, because one of them had his interest elsewhere. We therefore must thank God for having His way, not what they sought for.
In 2015, one of them had told the world that he did not have the money to buy his party’s expression of interest and the Governatorial election forms. His brothers and friends had the money for him, according to him.
But about four years ago, in its lead story of the ten richest Nigerian politicians, the Economist of London put him as one of them. According to the magazine, Tinubu headed the heap with Six Billion US Dollars. The last person in the group is Governor Wike of Rivers State with Seven Hundred Million Dollars. People like Atiku Abubakar and the subject of this write up have about $2.5 Billion US Dollars, according to the magazine.
But according to the subject of this article, his gang had a meeting with the president-elect recently, where an agreement was said to have been reached between you and them to get ‘a big office’
in your government, when it comes on stream.
Having the ‘gift of the garb’ does not mean having your way all the time. God, in His infinite mercy, gave some people the ‘gift of the garb’ so as to serve the people well, not themselves all the time.
But in the case of the subject of this write up, whatever endowment given to him by God, it is to be flaunted not used in the people’s service, which is why the person is almost all the time in the news for the wrong reasons.
While some people were building the party, ‘All Progressives Party’ (APC), some people are just along for the ride.
Such people deserve what they get, not what their seemingly persuasive’ argument wants them to have. The President- elect must not allow them to have their way, because their way is almost always very much at far with the interest of the people.
Can the person explain the ownership and of $2 billion, which eight years ago he did not have as his legitimately earned money.
The President-elect must not listen to the ‘small’ voices that are telling him to do what posterity will always accuse him of not properly using the time God has given to him.
