Can u imagine the inner caucus meeting Tinubu would have had with his people on his intention to run for the presidency?
If they were bold enough or if I was there, I would have given him a thousand and one reason why he shd not run.
I would have told him clearly – Oga, u didn’t go to school. The lame attempts at putting up an explanation will blow up in your face.
I would have continued. GCI has denied you. The documents you submitted in 1999 will not tally. This Hundeyin boy has dug up information that will kill you.
I would have continued. Oga Alpha beta will mess you up. The Bullion Van is still parked at Bourdillon.
I would have continued. Igbo people don’t like you. The South South doesn’t like you. The North will never vote yoruba, at least not your type of Yoruba and OBj, and other retired generals will make mince meat out of you.
I would have continued. Buhari does not like you. Forget all that presence. There is a cabal around him that will mess you up. I have seen your files at the DSS, and it looks like a script from a horror movie.
I would have continued. Lord, you are not well. Your hands are shaking. You babble, when you talk and I don’t think you have had an erection since June 12, was annulled
The babas’ around would have looked away from fear. Knowing that I was saying the truth but too Lilly livered to say anything.
Tinubu would have looked straight into my eyes and said, ‘Duke, let’s do this.
I would have been shocked, and he would have looked straight into my eyes with steely determination and say to me, ‘ Duke set the ball rolling, let’s jump in.
His determination. His never says die approach. His stubbornness, despite all of the huge challenges he is facing and his continued push despite this, has made me continue to look towards him with reluctant admiration.
These attributes are the things that we have been saying in all the master classes I have been selling.
Nothing drops on your laps. You have to suffer for it. You have to work and strive to get it.
So I see this frail old man that looks like toothpick jumping from helicopter to plane from state to state pushing a message showing very strong determination to achieve his life long goal.
Whether this life-long goal aligns with our desire as a people is not my issue this morning, but his strength and rude determination to waddle through it all is my issue today.
This is the story his handlers are not selling, and this is why I have severally asked for Mr Onanuga’s head.
He simply doesn’t understand the magnitude of the story ahead of him. This is a pure American dream type story.
The story of an orphan who against all odds is climbing to the highest position of the land.
The story is of a peasant who had to do stuff to emerge. Whatever it took, he did to emerge. This is the human part of the story that should be at the forefront.
Throwing Keyamo and Bayo and all the others who come and arrogantly talk through their own fabrications is what has made the Tinubu candidacy a fireball of contradictions
I am learning a lot from him and would use some of his strategies, which are in his personality trait when I launch my own campaign for the Senate.
Tinubu has refused to listen to ‘wise’ counsel but instead built a structure outside of wise counsel and peopled it with briliant sycophants who are working towards attaining the goal.
Yes, that is what I have learned. Everything that has been thrown at him from the Muslim Muslim ticket were Bishop’s were manufactured, the court cases, his health and now even the Naira redesign all instead of slowing him further energizes this old man.
I will still not vote for him but do retain my admiration as a good student of Machiavelli.
Thanks
*Duke of Shomolu*
