Did you know that there are hidden elements that are hell-bent to scuttle Asiwaju Bola Ahmed’s Presidential dream? These elements are a group of people who are very close to President Buhari in Aso Rock. They are totally against anything Tinubu. These people will not stop until they can perfect their plan or they are stopped.
A few days ago, a one-term Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria opened up and revealed some of their hidden plans to stop Asiwaju. Though the Senator pleaded with City People to remain anonymous. “Some People in Nigeria don’t even know the extent to which some people go when it comes to politicking in Nigeria. Do you know the gang up against Asiwaju had started manifesting since the Endsars protest? How? Did you know there was a video during the Endsars where some hoodlums were coming out of the government jeep harassing protesters”?
According to many media outlets during the protest, they believed it was sponsored by the state. In what seemed to be a coordinated attack, hoodlums in Lagos State started their activities by attacking peaceful #EndSARS protesters.
The armed hoodlums attacked protesters on two occasions at Ikeja and were alleged to have been sponsored by the state to discredit the #EndSARS protests. For about two weeks, Nigerian youths had taken to the streets to protest against police brutality, extrajudicial killings and extortion, and called for a reform of the Nigerian Police.
The hoodlums, who continued their activities unchecked, began organising mob actions against the police, destroying police stations and started attacking businesses in the state. The hoodlums, who carried out attacks in different parts of the state, in the days following the #EndSARS protests, seemed undisturbed by security agents, as they carried out arson, destruction of properties, and looting of valuables in the state. Within 48 hours, Tuesday and Wednesday, no fewer than 27 buildings, including police stations, media houses, government secretariats, and the court were attacked and left in ruins. It was during this that the TVC was burnt and they also threatened to burn down Oriental Hotel and many other properties that are alleged to be connected with Asiwaju.
But despite burning some of his properties, a lot of people still point accusing fingers at Tinubu that he had a hand in the protest. According to our anonymous source, all those claims were to discredit him and kill his presidential hope. But it failed woefully. “But the cabal didn’t stop at that. A few months back, the apex leader of National Union Transport workers in Abuja sacked Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, as the Lagos Chairman of the union.
Subsequently, the Lagos government suspended the activities of the activities of NURTW in the state. It’s rumoured that it was part of a gang up against Tinubu. The anonymous Senator also reveals that the cabal believes that MC Oluomo is an instrument Tinubu is using to have political gain. They wanted to put another person from PDP who can buy into their plans.
A few weeks after his sack, The Lagos State Government set up a committee to oversee the affairs of all motor parks and garages in the state, and MC Oluomo was appointed the Chairman of the committee.
“His sacking was politically motivated. They know the connection of MC Oluomo and Tinubu and how this can affect Lagos election”. It’s from the federal and that was why the Lagos state government acted promptly to it.” We have to be careful how we support or go against a course. Alot of things happen in the society which is being sponsored and they seem like a good cause for humanity.”
Another step which was taken was several arrests in many parts of Lagos, especially under the bridges.
A few weeks ago, no fewer than 116 suspects were arrested when soldiers of the 9 Brigade, Nigerian Army, invaded criminal hideouts in the under-bridge area of Oshodi, among other areas in Lagos State.
The Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, 9 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Major A.K. Bello, said, “There is this exercise ‘Still Water’ that we are conducting now. The exercise is to curb criminalities in Lagos State. In this operation, we decided to go to the Oshodi area and we arrested 116 persons. We took them to our barracks where we did more investigation.
The arrest was a good one but it was politically motivated. The cabal from the federal feels these boys are being used to scuttle a peaceful election where the APC don’t have a stronghold. What about the CBN naira policy and scarcity of petroleum?
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has come out a few weeks ago to say that the current fuel scarcity and naira redesign were part of the plan by some powers-that-be to sabotage the 2023 general election. Tinubu spoke during the APC presidential campaign at the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Kuto, Abeokuta.
Tinubu declared that the fuel crisis and the scarcity of the newly redesigned Naira notes were artificially created to discourage Nigerians from voting for the APC.
The APC presidential candidate called on the people to remain resolute and resist any attempt by anyone to stop the election from holding.
