Consider second term, you’re betraying El-Rufai, Yahaya Bello – Atiku’s ex-aide warns Tinubu

Showunmi said: “Upon reflection on the trajectory of
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his journey to the presidency, I find my mind
wondering if my Yoruba Uncle is still the same person that I have always known
and admired.

“You might need to think through this to understand me. The
Yorubas already carry misconceptions about betrayal, that we don’t keep our end
of the bargain. That we use and dump people. That we are cunning around the
power play.

“Nasir el-Rufai, say what you will about him, he supported Asiwaju
fully during the primaries and the general elections. Pray, how has he been
treated? Same el-Rufai now has a security report that humiliated him during a
Senate clearance made up of a majority of Tinubu men! What would the world call
that but betrayal?

“Now, Yahaya Adoza Bello, who practically fought like a
madman to give Asiwaju good numbers in Kogi, not to talk of how he funded and
ran the youth campaign with vigour and energy to the extent that I was so
jealous compared to the disorganised charade of my PDP.

“Same Yahaya Bello who superintended over the membership
registration of APC that to date I cannot but remember comparing the bliss and
pageantry to the joke that my PDP ran under the Edo emperor.

“Pray, is that the same GYB that is embarrassed to the level
we are all witnessing? If this is not a betrayal, I would like someone to tell
me what can be a betrayal than this.

“Do you plan to contest a second term or do you think your
work will be done in one term of just four years? Shall tomorrow not come?
Where are the men of yesterday?

“Akanni omo olodo ide, you know that on a deep level of
nation-building, I won’t allow partisan politics to prevent me from saying it
as I see it. You may need to understand that power must be shared and that the
world over, people must feel protected by an arrangement they help bring
about.”
