Certain things are beyond explanation. Who would have thought that the Southwest would be tricked into abandoning its quest for 2023 presidency?
The recent move by some of the Southwest Governors to expel Fulani herders in their states for allegedly indulging in kidnappings is the joke of the century. Kidnappings, armed robbery and other criminalities did not certainly originate here (North). And for the decades that the masters (non-Northerners) were at it, they were caught and prosecuted as individual criminals and not as a tribe.
I pity my nieces who are half Yoruba and half Fulani. My youngest sister (same father and mother) was married to an Ogbomosho man, but this only goes to show how magnanimous the Fulbe are.
I am not going to comment on what the federal government should do or fails to do, but one thing clear is that Igboho and his thugs have raised the stakes and the current APC political alliance between the North and the Southwest is the major casualty.
The small clique that want the presidential ticket to move to the South-South may have already won. I cannot see the current political alliance between the North and Southwest going beyond the first half of 2021.
Not even Governor Zulum who extended hands of friendship to them is spared from attack, simply because he reminded them of who the enemies of the nation are.
Keep this little observation of mine and QUOTE me in future; The next President is certainly not coming from the Southwest.
It was nice doing business with you in 2015 and 2019.
