Buhari, vampires around him never wanted Tinubu as president – Sam Omatseye

“Conspiracies festered in sewers and in the open. And it
began with the party’s top brass. In cahoots with the presidential cabal, they
edged out Adams Oshiomhole’s executive as the first major step to immobilise
Tinubu’s ambition. They also broached a consensus candidate. Law crippled them
as they fell foul of defining the phrase they coined, and they could not even
manage the idea of open and closed primaries. At every turn, they stumbled into
crosswinds. Their own weapon turned their own folly.

“Tinubu was never fazed about the task ahead. He peered a
rose-scented garden when others saw for him a forest of a thousand demons. In
2021 December, he said he was preparing a speech towards the end of January,
2022, to announce his intention to run. He would wait for the yuletide and new
year euphoria to ebb out before throwing himself in the ring.”
