TINUBU, THEIR BURDEN BEARER....

This thread is PRIMARILY for APC supporters who have been on my DM since Saturday during #OsunDecides2022

I'll say a few things FAR AWAY from Osun & allow you to extrapolate it to Osun APC crisis between Lasun, Adeoti, Aregbe, Oyetola etc..

In internal crisis management, it is my firm personal perspective that:
1. EVERY SIDE IS RIGHT
2. EVERY SIDE WAS WRONGED
3. CRISIS WILL ONLY RESOLVE IS ONE SIDE IS READY TO DROP HIS RIGHT OR BOTH ARE READY TO SHIFT GROUNDS.

Let me use Tinubu & Ekiti issue, you'll understand..

Check the crisis that removed Oshiomole as Chairman then, how APC lost Edo & many other things...One thing you can't take away as far as I'm concerned is that Gov Fayemi was complicit in all of these. The game was so strange that we were like "how could he be against Tinubu"?

A particular group in APC has been mobilizing& supporting BAT since 2020 towards his emergence as APC flagbearer. Guess what, they were all spending their resources. I asked some of them then, they told me stories to show why everyone would spend personal money to "help" BAT🤐

"Wait, so you people will spend your money for someone that should finance you guys"🤣

Response in summary: "No, individuals only saw opportunity to pay him back in this little way joyfully for how he's helped individuals years back when they were NOT THERE"😇

They mobilized!

FASTFORWARD to 2022:
Remember that the Tinubu support base is for the Federal, everyone still has their different candidates they're supporting at the Local APC primaries...That's Internal Politics...Very complex.
Towards Ekiti primaries, different support groups needed BAT😇

And Internal Politics is who has the backing of who?
Don't waste time about OUTSIDERS talking about Ambode issue in Lagos, they didn't know it had LITTLE to do with BAT. Party people didn't want you, even if Tinubu tried otherwise, "he go collect"🤣

Back to Ekiti Pre-Primaries!

Biodun Oyebanji was the Candidate of Fayemi, 27 Jan 2022 would be the APC primaries.. The continuous crisis between Fayemi & Tinubu was the advantage of others towards the APC primaries. Then, Around January 13, Gov Fayemi visited Asiwaju Tinubu in Lagos. YOU, wetin you go do?

That was just 2 weeks before APC primaries in Ekiti.
Remember those who have been supporting Tinubu's interest even when it was alleged that Fayemi was working against Tinubu.. Remember they're also stakeholders at the local level.
Now the man had gone to "reconcile" with Tinubu.

It was obvious afterward that Tinubu had let go & was in support of whoever Fayemi was supporting towards APC Primaries in 2wks time in Ekiti (They said he let go easily, & that's a weakness/strength).

That was a CRISIS RESOLVED from Fayemi camp, but that created more crisis😭

You see, in resolving one crisis, you are creating more crisis, but this time around towards yourself (YOU as Tinubu in this scenario).
How did you want those who were banking on such crisis to ride politically within feel? How would you want the opposition also to feel about it?

That was the beginning of another serious crisis, but the burden bearer who let go easily is the one to still take the bullet for the mess created by others. Since he seemed to be OK to resolve crisis even when it would create more issue directly for him, what else should he do?

I painted this scenario for you to know that things are complex than we all thought & one Tinubu from distance will not always fix ego crisis of adults for everyone in his camp...
If you take time to listen to every side, you will see that they're all right.

The only difference is that someone like Tinubu looked more into what will profit the party than to allow crisis linger, while those who want to be Jagaban in their respective States will either have it their own way alone or mess everything up...

Did each camp have genuine grievances? DEFINITELY.
But shouldn't each camp look into the bigger picture & drop their RIGHT at least to achieve it for the party & their supporters? That's the difference.

Shettima was the Gov in Borno. Since 2019, Shettima brought Zulum to APC...

Shettima in almost all his statement will refer to Gov Zulum as "my boss & our party leader"🤣🤣

Shettima knows who is the boss in Borno. Zulum knows who is the BOSS. APC in Borno knows who the boss is even though Zulum is the official party leader.. We know the boss abi🤣

So, the burden bearer we're always expecting to resolve every internal crisis among politicians can only do a little WHEN & IF the parties are ready to let go for the greater good.
When brothers felt they must fight to finish, then strangers shouldn't be blamed for free food.🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️
