In the face of the confusion that has engulfed the All Progressives Congress, APC, destabilized the Presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and reduced him to a very embattled aspirant, former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has weighed in.
Fayose says he sees nothing but danger and humiliation strewn the path of Tinubu’s ambition.
In an open letter to the former two-time Governor of Lagos State, Fayose reminded Tinubu of the fate that befell the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and the late Chief MKO Abiola. He has an advice for Tinubu: Tarry awhile.
Hereunder, Fayose’s letter titled:
OPEN LETTER TO ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU
“My dear Asiwaju.
“Let me start this letter to your good self whom I considered as one of the leading lights of the Yoruba Nation, as a letter that may not be patrionising, especially for the content based on the subjective views I will express here as a Yoruba man and not as a politician.
” I equally want to state that I am not an APC man, and will never be.
“I am writing based on my observed views and the attached possible dangers about your good self against tomorrow ( today Tuesday).
“One of the undeniable facts is your outburst in Abeokuta which is a clear indication that you clearly saw a political danger to which you reacted. This informed the basis of my writing to you now.
“I equally read the reactions of your political allies both in the North and in the South. The reactions gave me great cause of concern for you and your life. Again, I see danger!
“As a knowledgeable student of history whom you are, our greatest late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and the celebrated winner of the June 12, 1993 general election, Alhaji Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, were led to the Golgotha by self exclaimed “champions of democracy”, I am sure the same people may advise you to ignore my advice.
“Going by the handwriting that are now clearly on the wall, if I may comment Sir, I see you as one that may be swimming against the political tide of the cabal in your party. They are equally preparing for your actions and reactions and are fully set to contain same as they did to both Awolowo and Abiola.
“Unfortunately, your kingdom has been badly balkanized if what happened in Abeokuta is anything to go by.
“My advice
“The book of Proverbs, chapter 22, verse 3 (The Good News Translations) “sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but unthinking people will walk into it.”
“Again, Asiwaju, for reasons of not being misrepresented, I will like to stop here and allow you to take your decisions, good or bad as a wise full-grown adult whom you are.”
The APC Presidential Primaries is taking place in Abuja, today, June 7, 2022.
Unless a miracle happens, Tinubu, who was, until a couple of days ago, the frontline runner, is not expected to win.
The National Chairman of the Party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on Monday, surprisingly, announced Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan as the Party’s consensus Presidential candidate to the anger and objection of not a few people including Tinubu, many stakeholders, and majority of Governors from both the North and the South.
Trouble may reign at the APC Presidential Primaries today.
