I will be the very last person to stand in the way of my very good friend Tinubu\u2019s path to the presidency. This is because since 2011 my consuming passion has been for him to succeed Buhari as President of Nigeria,\u201d Lawal said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, be had conveyed his reservations to Tinubu and his friends against the \u201cpitfalls\u201d of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/12\/muslim-muslim-ticket-we-wont-support-you-apc-northern-christian-group-tells-tinubu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muslim-Muslim ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He said he has on many occasions argued the merits and demerits of both ticket permutations to him and had also in both verbal and written form showed his displeasure to such development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTinubu is a very good man. He is a great listener. He has a very humble and friendly disposition to every one. But I have realized that it is in the nature of power that sycophants and lapdogs have the most influence on leaders with such character traits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will lie to him, malign and disparage others and generally do any thing to curry his favor and to also put well-meaning associates in bad light. I suspect this is what has happened to my friend. He has been cornered by self-serving, hero-worshiping, lapdogs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt never used to be like this. While in his hay-days in Lagos, he surrounded himself with smart, street-wise guys that could tell truth to power. He had Rauf Aregbesola, Yemi Osinbajo, Babatunde Fashola, Dele Alake, Muiz Banire, etc. The Lagos days were the days of think-tanks, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, principles and ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut these people have since grown-up and moved up to establish their own systems living my friend stranded. But the Abuja equivalent are people inflicted with the modern Nigerian diseases-religious bigotry, sycophancy and morbid tribalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result is that they have played on his (Tinubu) long term ambition to be President and have built it into a sort of desperation and a crescendo that easily justifies this satanic resort to a Muslim-Muslim ticket. This is the calamity that has befallen my friend,\u201d Babachir said.<\/p>\n<p>He also wondered why Shetima, who he said is an \u201coverambitious man who has a Machiavellian bent and has lots of money with which to procure a preferred-candidate status among Tinubu\u2019s lapdogs\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAnd as we are beginning to see, to also procure bogus supporters especially from among the Christian community to help launder his no-so-good image. But as a popular proverb goes: \u2018Those whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad\u2019. It appears that the gods want to destroy the APC and its Presidential Candidate and have chosen the instrumentality of the northern Moslem governors and their super ambitious tool and Kashim Ibrahim for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhaji Kashim Shetima is a Greek gift from the Northern governors to Tinubu. I advise Bola to make sure Kashima\u2019s two hands are always in his plain sight and empty. Tinubu has made his choice. And I am sure he thinks he is ready for the outcome of that choice. He has chosen to bring religion to the front burner of Nigerian politics. And being a Muslim, he has chosen to take sides with his own religion. For all he cares, Christians can go to blazes with their votes\u201d Babachir added.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that Tinubu must also be told that there will consequences for this choice.<\/p>\n<p>He said that some of them are that Christians all over the country will revolt against the APC to put the chances of his election in serious jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>He said the development will also put the election of all Christians standing for elections in Christian dominated areas in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThis could result in APC being a minority party in both the National and State Houses of Assembly.<br \/>\n\u201cNow tell me which Christian will vote for APC with the following contraption: Moslem Presidential Candidate (Lagos), Moslem Vice Presidential Candidate (Borno), Moslem National Chairman (Nasarawa), Moslem Deputy National Chairman (Borno), Moslem President (Katsina); Moslem Senate President (Yobe); Moslem Speaker (Lagos); Moslem Deputy Speaker (Plateau).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that a Muslim-Muslim ticket will drag down the whole APC members to the pit and should be rejected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engr.
