Lesson for Governor Amaechi***** Despite their political differences,Tinubu supported Obasanjo against Buhari in 2003 because they are from the same Geo-political zone(southwest): HEAR HIM**** Turning to the presidential contest, Tinubu disclosed that he does not like President Obasanjo because he contributed to the end of democracy in Nigeria during his tenure as a military president and is now benefiting from that history. That said, Tinubu admitted that he and his party, the Alliance for Democracy, must support Obasanjo. Southwest Nigeria is Yoruba land and the President is Yoruba. Tinubu”s party had no choice since it has not fielded a presidential candidate. Moreover, Obasanjo is the only candidate who stands a chance of blocking his rival, General Muhammadu Buhari, whose ethnocentrism would jeopardize Nigeria”s national unity. Buhari and his ilk are agents of destabilization who would be far worse than Obasanjo. Tinubu and many other governors are therefore implementing a strategy to re-elect Obasanjo, partly in an effort to prevent Sharia from spreading. Tinubu predicted that the President will follow his own course, if re-elected, since he will not need as many friends the second time around. wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/03LAG0S369 ---------------- The question now is: 1. Has Tinubus believe about Buhari changed? 2. Why is Tinubu fraternizing with the same Buhari he condemn in 2003?
