Before Governors Rotimi Akeredolu and Kayode
Fayemi begin to speak in tongues again on the Ruga ambush now kicking the
Yoruba nation in the face, let’s encourage them to look up first to the people
of Ekiti and Ondo States before some ‘principalities and powers’ in Abuja. The
body language and utterances of these two governors on the curious
‘colonisation’ agenda can implicate and injure them a great deal if they don’t
manage perception well around them at the moment.

But before anything else,
these two prominent governors who will always be in the eye of the storm
because of the preponderance of Funani settlements in their domains, should let
the president know at this moment that as in Skakespeare’s Macbeth, “Here is the
smell of blood still, all perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand”.

As 2019 elections draw closer, activities informed by future
projections, calculations and manipulations keep manifesting in different areas
with different people at different times. Take for a striking example of what
is going on in Imo state. It is now breeding many interests and actors within
and outside South East geopolitical zone under the APC. In other flash points
of APC crisis of Ondo, Ogun, Rivers and Zamfara states, they still bear the
same fingers except Zamfara and Rivers states.
Former governor of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu is believed by many
to be at the manipulative center of the commotion. Tinubu hasn’t hidden his
desire to take over from Buhari in 2023 if Buhari wins another term. Let’s go
to the beginning and put things in proper perspective. Buhari promised to do
only one term and he was supported and succession game started almost
immediately he was announced the winner by Prof. Jega in April of 2015.
El-Rufai was said to be hawking himself to the cabals as possible choice to
finish the remaining one term that President Buhari would be leaving behind.
The Lagos boys
led by Tinubu were hoping on unplanned eventuality of events that the Vice
president would serve out the term in case the president could not see it to
the end.
