I’m not going to write long tales. Yeah, I will just go straight to the point.
With the wave of defections going on, very soon all Southern Governors might be in APC.
And if we check very well, almost all Southern governors who are yet to join APC seem amenable to Tinubu’s re-election.
Name them, Gov Adeleke of Osun is not in APC today because of the pushback of APC stalwarts in Osun.
Gov Otti of Abia has never hidden his friendship with Tinubu.
Gov Diri is touted to have resigned from PDP en route APC.
Gov Fubara is only a governor on paper that even if he doesn’t defect cannot do much to harm Tinubu’s gameplan for Rivers.
Only Makinde seems to be on his own and that’s because he wants to answer Presidential candidate in 2027.
My point is, with what is currently happening in the south, the ADC or any opposition coalition giving their ticket to a northerner will just make 2027 Presidential Election an easy ride for Tinubu as it will become a north vs south affair.
And with vast of the Middle Belt amenable to Southern sentiments, and with whatever Tinubu would be able to muscle from the rest of the North, he’s sure to win in 2027.
So, if the opposition is truly interested in challenging Tinubu in 2027, their ONLY option is to willingly hand the ticket to Peter Obi.
Why? Because with Obi, the south will be broken; with Obi taking Southeast and Southsouth again.
Again, the Middle Belt and northern Christians are still sold out to Obi.
Then you add whatever influence Atiku and his men can bring for Obi from the core North and you will see Tinubu struggling, if not beaten silly.
This is the only practical, logical and realistic option left for the opposition.
If you think they have a better option, convince us otherwise.
Penguin is a bird of reason!
