[Bello Olalekan Sodiq @Belloboiy]

@ManUtd I see no reason why the board can not see into this United team deeply why are we losing good players and buying players we are not sure of there adaptation to the team

@afrisagacity The important thing to learn from this is that if Nigeria keep on been like this am not sure moving forward is certain because the northern leaders just as u said are seeing the country as there’s and if proper measures is not taking then this country might go from bad to worst

They did it against Obasanjo and succeeded. They did it against Jonathan and had a walkthrough. Now, the white-chalk on the dark board boldly spells out their next victim.

Suddenly and unsurprisingly, Kaduna’s “little man”, Nasir El-Eufai, of the APC, drove to Kano to hold a strategic meeting with NNPC’s Kwankwaso, on June 26th.

The meeting held just 3 days after Atiku Abubakar led a team of other political bigwigs, including Ex-Governor of Sokoto state (now Senator) Aminu Tambuwal, to meet Buhari in Daura.

More so, the news further entrenched in the minds of Northern Elites, and of course, most Nigerians, the belief that Tinubu may be in desperate struggle to appease the West and that it’s from a place of “personal interest.

It didn’t take long before the North would kick-start what they know how to do best - “resentment politics!”

It’s not uncharacteristic of Northern Oligarchs. Whenever they have a “common political enemy,” they squash their personal differences and strike in one force.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

Tinubu backed down, but of course, not with a good-happy mind. The Northern oligarchs, also, had formed the resentment, and that would kickstart a cracky relationship between Aso Rock’s helmsman and the power-brokers in the North.

The festering rancour gained more momentum, late May, this year. Surprisingly, a letter flew into Aso Rock, from prominent Northerners. They’re asking Tinubu to scuttle any moves to sit US and French military bases in Nigeria.

Though, Tinubu’s boys debunked the news, but anyone who knows Nigeria’s politics knows it’d not impossible. There was actually “some burning fire popping the smoke.”

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

This explains why Northern Senators fully backed the Senators from the 7 states to reject the request Tinubu sent to the National Assembly, asking for their approval of the invasion.

Recall, that day the Senate debated on the request - I guess, it’s on the 6th of August, 2023 - the Senate had a troubling,
rowdy session.

Goodwill Akpabio who’s Tinubu’s “right-hand man” just couldn’t push it. He met more frustrating pushbacks and was, eventually, cowed into silence.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

That audacious but flawed “boob” move by Tinubu smashed the nail into the wall and opened the unending cracks.

The growing sentiments among Northern oligarchs over the invasion were…

One, that Tinubu was selfish by trying to invade Niger; and he’s desperately trying to appease the West, particularly the US which “appears” to hold damning records against him - not thinking about the adverse effects it’d have on the north and the country at large.

Two, that Tinubu is intentionally playing ignorance to the historical ties Northern Nigeria shares with Niger - and was bent on destroying that blood-line tie.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

To put it mildly, Tinubu hasn’t had the best of relationships with Northern political elites, especially in the past 8 months.

No one can trace the source or how exactly it started but what is clear is that the “paradise is troubled” because the “kingmakers are unhappy.”

As much as we can pay attention to facts, the rift and tussle between Tinubu and Northern Elite gained force in August, 2023 - the moment Tinubu wrote to the Senate to seek permission to invade Niger.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

Obviously, the arrest was a vacuous move. Because, shortly after the arrest, some videos circulated online, showing where many other tailors were mass-producing the Russian flag.

This stirs some salient questions: Who is sponsoring the production of the flags? Why Russian flags?

Anyone who has keenly observed the intriguing political developments and permutations in the country, particularly in Northern Nigeria, since Tinubu took over, will have the answers to the above questions, handy.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

So, it points to one thing - some “deep pockets” with very strong (vested) political interests are making a k!ller-move on the “glassy chessboard” of politics.

Only an observant few caught the message from the increasing momentum.

By Sunday (yesterday), more Russian flags had flooded different protesting states in the North, in their swamping numbers.

The Nigeria Police, in their usual annoyingly inept approach, arrested a young man, whom they accused of designing the flag and was behind its circulation.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

Northern Protesters Carrying Russian Flags - Are Northern Political Elite In “Cold-W@r” With Tinubu?
…

It first happened two days ago, on Saturday. Youths in Kano protested, bearing the Russian flag. Pictures circulated but nearly everyone took it to be an expression of exuberance by the unthinking protesting teenagers.

Of course, very observant few knew it wasn’t a fluke - it wasn’t just the ignorant kids throwing tantrums. It’s far more than just how it looked.

These are new, neatly-sewn, big foreign flags. How did the protesting youths and teenagers get the flags? They certainly do not have the money to buy flags - not when they’re protesting against acute hunger and starvation.
