This is apt and incisive for those who don't know, there is no permanent friend or foe in politics in Nigeria, except for those "paid" to be use as PAWNS in Nigeria's political chess game of Personal INTEREST.

On a cautionary note...!

OBJ is working against PMB but his son is working for PMB. Sen. Obanikoro who once worked for Fayose is testifying against him in court while his son is contesting under APC in Lagos.
Atiku was once a ranking member of APC and friends with PMB and now his top opponent.

Saraki led the group of Governors that pulled the carpet under GEJ’s feet when they ported to APC but now back to PDP. Akpabio who swore to die for PDP is now ready to kill and die for APC.

THREAD: Thoughts on #Obasanjo as #ObasanjoOnBuhari #ObasanjoSpeaks #MondayMotivation

~~By Mayowa Akinsola

For the life of me, I will never understand how former President Olusegun Obasanjo does it. When you think he is done, he has just begun.
I have watched in utter amusement how he has, yet again, wangled his way into the front page of newspapers on a daily basis. I don’t know of any other former HOS elsewhere who has turned himself into the subject and object of national attention long after he has left power.

One of the Lions contesting, decided not to leave its lair on the day of the fight. The other Lion, prepared and ready, got to the arena in the forest where the other animals were waiting and saw three Pussycats.

Atiku’s Withdrawal from the #Presidentialdebate2019 is a Tactical Masterstroke--A THREAD
I’ve read commentaries that aver that Atiku’s decision to bail out of the #2019Debate in protest against PMB’s decision not to participate in it was a tactical error. I disagree. Here is why.
The presidential debate is designed to be a match--or, if you like, a push and pull-- between the defending champion, i.e., Buhari, and contenders to the title he holds, i.e., Atiku, Moghalu, Madam Oby, Sowore, and others. If the defending champion declines to thrown his hat into
the ring, the entire match becomes pointlessly self-injurious to the challengers. In other words, it would have been a fatal strategic and tactical error for Atiku to partake in a potentially bruising contest with other challengers while the defending championing sits pretty
