PDP Training Snippers to Kill Me- Tinubu
With the election less than three weeks away and the outcome possibly against
them, the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency and the hardliners in the PDP have
embarked on a new strategy to put brake on the momentum APC presidential
candidate Muhammadu Buhari seems to be gathering.
This strategy is novel and seems to be the outcome of a desperate calculation
in that the PDP has shifted its attention from the APC in order to attack on
multiple fronts the former governor of Lagos state and APC national leader,
Bola Tinubu.
From what can be gathered through informed sources, the PDP and Jonathan
Presidency had recently tried to fracture the APC by offering Tinubu the
position of vice President in an interim government if he would agree to part
company with the popular Buhari.
Once Tinubu rebuffed the offer to participate in the interim scheme, the
presidency decided to change tactics. It would no longer try to entice Tinubu
with sugar but would now move to silence and if necessary neutralize him.
The APC National leader has caused President Jonathan’s team countless
headaches this campaign season, his declining the interim government offer is
just the latest. The Jonathan government sees Tinubu as the linchpin of the
APC and its successful electoral strategy.
They also consider him one of the government’s most prolific and able critics
due to his longstanding and often strident critiques of Jonathan government
policies, from economic development to national security.
More to the point, they blame him as the man who is most responsible for
placing them in their current electoral quandary.
They believe without Tinubu’s efforts the successful merger of the political
parties into the All Progressives Congress, APC, would not have occurred and
they would not be facing possible defeat at the hands of this new party.
The PDP faces its stiffest competition ever in 16 years and the person they
blame the most is Tinubu, the major actor who is seen as the strategic mind of
the new party and one person who must be stopped at all cost. General Buhari
has since been penciled down for similar character assassination and vicious
insults alongside other leaders of the APC.
The agenda to tackle Bola Tinubu and weaken his political influence nationwide
and to undermine his leadership in South Western politics can be said to have
gone into overdrive.
The first part of the strategy is to dredge previously discredited claims of
illicit wealth in hopes of silencing Tinubu or lessening his public image.
However, they fear this public relations attack may be too soft as Tinubu has
been taken before the ICPC and the case against him dismissed. If this attack
does not deter his party activities, the presidency and PDP are prepared to
take more drastic action if they believe it necessary to win the election by
throwing the APC into disarray.
This part of the plot has two options, the first of which is to employ trained
snipers to attack Tinubu or assassinate him out rightly. This plan is
consistent with the warning made by former President Obasanjo in his now
famous 2014 letter to President Jonathan. Those within the PDP favouring this
approach argue that when Chief Bola Ige, a powerful politician was murdered,
heavens did not fall even though the then President was a Yoruba man. The
second option more crafty. The PDP will seek to resuscitate the case of the
murder of Funso Williams a former Lagos gubernatorial candidate by blaming
Tinubu for the killing.
They are already coaching inmates and others. They are offering them the
promise of early release and money if they will make statements implicating
Tinubu in the Williams murder. The presidency intends to rush through this
process with the hope of putting Tinubu out of circulation by trapping him in
a contrived criminal process until the elections are over. Tinubu is not
taking these revelations lightly knowing well the capacity of this government
for devilish acts.
For the party that boasts it will rule Nigeria for 60 years, it has become an
unexpected season of political desperation. The PDP is worried that on March
28, they will discover that they have fallen 44 years short of their dynastic
goal. By all accounts, this has caused them to consider very drastic plots and
schemes.
Nigerians are confronted with a ruling party willing to descend to the lowest
in order to win elections. Perceived political enemies are being hunted.
Trumped-up allegations are being manufactured daily from the government
factory of lies to taint the leading figures in the All Progressives Party,
APC.
