Tinubu and ambushed political ambitions, by Okanga Agila ed-tinubus-political-ambitions.

Editor’s note: The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief Bola Tinubu and President Muhammadu Buhari have successful long-term relationship. Just recently Tinubu has asked Nigerians to shun news making the rounds, regarding the alleged divide within the APC. He added that he continued supporting the incumbent government and ruling party. Okanga Agila in this piece examines supposed division among the top bigwigs of the APC and relationship between Tinubu and Buhari.

Self-styled national leader of the ruling APC, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu is in the political wilderness. For a politician of his status, whose passion for power is unsurpassed and believes in the kingmaker syndrome, but of a dubious dimension, President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to support his faulty permutations has been a sore in the throat. Buhari’s integrity to always see things straight has unknowingly ambushed his political ambitions and his is quite sad. Many times, when Nigerians argue that politicians’ lust for power is for themselves at the expense of the ordinary masses, some skeptics vehemently deny the assertions. But the proofs are becoming clearer by the day. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Nigeria condescended to the abyss of a messy political decay, where all laws, rules or creeds governing the sanctity in party affairs or the polity were brazenly floated. At the turn of every political dispensation, the country would produce a mesh of wailers wailing for their ill-treatment, snatched party nomination tickets and a dangerously skewed democratic system, where some leaders assumed the status of demigods and other party members, pawns on their chessboard or slaves.
