Re: Tinubu/South West Contribution to PMB's Victory 2015

"On claim that Northern leaders lambast Tinubu on PMB's electoral victory"  To be sincere and put the records straight the claim that Kano's 1.8million votes are higher than that of the entire South West is not true! The South West gave PMB 2.4Milliion votes +, also the most important thing that the South West gave PMB was those things we have been looking for to clinch the presidency which are; the media propaganda's, part of the huge financial backing for the party primaries and the general elections, the security of the candidate etc, above all is the mandatory constitutional requirement of having 25%/in at least 24states + FCT (which PMB was getting in the 19 northern states, but actually not able to secure in the remaining five states of the south to make up the 24 states 2/3 of 36 states) in all the previous elections until the last one of 2015 (where PMB got 25% in all 6 states of the South West, indeed winning in all the South West States but Ekiti) so for anyone to myopically or ignorantly distort the records and not recognise the role played by the South West.

It is very unfair to them, to PMB and to the Asiwaju who incidentally is the leading figure that more than any other person made that to be possible, the Jagaban really deserves to be respected in the alliance and be accorded all due recognition!. PMB was really the driving force more than any other Nigerian for his election victory in 2015, at least for his consistencies and un relented  fight right from 2003 to 2015 and most interested was his support base from the North where right from 2003 and 2011 PMB was getting as high as over 12Million votes from the North consistently which was really what inform the Alliance Partners to accept to work with him, support him to clinch the APC ticket despite his only one state of Nasarawa of the CPC!.

It is therefore mischievous to try to undermine the contributions of Tinubu and that of the South West as a block! Also noting all the efforts/resources that GEJ put in the South West in the built up to the 2015 GE! To some of us what is more important and beneficial to PMB and the North at this critical  stage is to as much as  possible consolidate, safeguard and strengthen our political alliance with the South West but not to jeopardize it rather! The South West still remain our sure best bet for now in reality! Then it would not be out of place to seek other additional allies but with serious caution! Is it those that took arms against us all should their son loss an election or those that are bent on destroying the north at all cost, even though they are the must beneficiaries of its everything!? Or at best those with a secessionist threat, while also doing everything in our mix to create disaffection, hate, serious mistrust among us! in disguises.

We must really need to be wiser my brothers! more than any other time! At least now we are running a join ticket with them of our dear amiable incorruptible son the PMB and VP(Ag. president) Osinbajo. A word is enough for a wise! May Allah make PMB to regain full health and come back to continue the good governance of our dear country! May God also guide and strengthen the Ag. President to be above; board, sentiment, and minor parochial interests so as to lead with all sense of fairness, justice and look up to the confidence that both PMB and other well meaning Nigerians have in him Ameen!
