WEEKS after the All Progressives Congress (APC) standard-bearer, Senator Bola Tinubu, secured the cooperation of the governors on the composition of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), another cold war is brewing over the establishment of what has been perceived as a parallel body, the Grassroot Independent Campaign Council. 

Sunday Tribune investigation revealed that the governors who were enraged over the list of of the PCC which they said was skewed against their interest were eventually pacified after several trouble-shooting meetings with Tinubu. 

The APC presidential candidate also met with the leadership of the APC National Working Committee led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu, which also felt shortchanged before a new list was released to accommodate all contending blocs. 

A source told Sunday Tribune that Tinubu had since created a new organ called the Grassroot Independent Campaign Council with trusted loyalists as chairmen in state chapters. 

of the ICC are insulated from the influence of the governors as they are not answerable to them. 

The source revealed that of the ICC with temporary operational office in Maitama, Abuja has since moved to a new office near the Federal Secretariat in the Federal Capital Territory. They were inaugurated penultimate week. 

“The governors have been angry since they got wind of the composition of the ICC. Because the new body does not enjoy their buy-in, their inauguration was low key. “ were invited for a retreat but some of them knew it was actually their inauguration.” 

Speaking to Sunday Tribune in a telephone interview, Bayo Onanuga, Director, Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Council, however, said no governor has expressed reservation over the establishment of the ICC. 

He said: “That isn’t true. No governor is complaining; no governor has come out to complain. It is mere rumour. That’s mere invention.” 

Minister of Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, (SAN) who is the Director of Public Affairs/ chief spokesperson, Tinubu– Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, also said there is no cold war between Tinubu and the governors over the creation of ICC. 

He said, “There is no single governor that is unhappy about this. Politics is a game of numbers. The more we have volunteers, the better for us.” 

A party source, however, told Sunday Tribune in confidence that the APC standard-bearer is wary of the half-hearted commitment of certain governors from the North to his aspiration which informed his endorsement of the ICC when it was raised with him. 

The source told Sunday Tribune that one of the APC governors in the North-East state “is romancing the Atiku camp and Tinubu has got wind of the moves of the unfriendly governor.” 

The source revealed that a former National Security Adviser from North-West has been mobilising for Atiku Abubakar among governors in the North including those of the APC. 

“They are reaching out to the Northern governors, particularly to those from the North-West and the North-East. The message is that Atiku Abubakar is their own and he must not be left in the cold.”

All I know is that Tinubu will be defeated by Peter Obi, he will suffer historic defeat.

I'm a clairvoyant, so don't argue with me

I know after the election the regular customers in the south will start blaming the north for voting Tinubu.

Forget the hype, Peter Obi has the potential to defeat Tinubu in Lagos on Election Day

On that day, the market woman who was forced to close her shop and come to the campaign venue for a roll call, will be able to vote their conscience in secret, and many of them will vote for Peter Obi

How many northern Apc governors are working for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar?



Many will wake in shock..

Power to the people
PDP!!

Aufbauh:

Yeah, you're right.... We will blame them for voting Tinubu into political retirement.

And I trust the North will make the urinating machine called Tinubu another Internally Displaced Politician.

I said it before, there is a bigman and a senior APC leader I spoke some days ago with...And he said that Tinubu is destroying the whole party by giving everything to his Yoruba folks to be in control....

He started by sidelining the northern folks and he thinks they're not aware?


Infact, I want to believe that Tinubu is an actor, he's putting all these dramas to act like he's not capable and wouldn't stay long in power so that the North will believe he will die within two years and the dude will show them shege if elected.

Tinubu might just be a good politician afterall.....All of a sudden, Baba begin to act incoherent when before the election he was speaking very well and acting very well... Probably a strategy to seek for sympathy votes from Nigerians...

If he wins, he will really deal with the North...

5 Northern governors are with Atiku

Election and confusion. I wish us all well

My Peter Obi will just be smiling now

Who the gods wants to kill, he first make mad




Good news for Peter Obi

Na so till election go

Political structure over the People's structure is what made PDP lose in 2015 and it will make both APC and PDP lose in 2023

Political structure must find a balance with the people's structure to win elections and that balance in 2023 is OBIDATTI

Useless party

Election na war for this country

Lies APC is without blemish, every member wants to see the greatest man ever liveth as president.

The yaruba that made a fuuani president

Just like I've been saying northern governors can't help Tinubu, it's good he has used his sense to establish grass-roots departments...
Nonetheless it's still a waste, he just multiplied the amount of money he will waste


Atiku is coming

May God scatter them and their evil presidential candidate and party

The thread is about the division in APC reported by the Sunday Tribune and in your bid to divert attention, you started hallucinating about Obi.

so your desperation for money made you this way? Only a fool is going to buy in by giving you access to his gaming

The core north is in dilemma in this election: they know Atiku is a big barawo who cares about no one but himself. They also know he will destroy many of them when elected. They know Tinubu will move against them from the first day he is sworn in. They know that the only neutral candidate who will come in to just face his work and unite the country is Peter Obi, but their hatred and fear of Igbos will not allow them troop out to declare for him.

Las las politicians go play politics and go home either richer or poorer, but the masses will keep losing as long as they don't vote the right candidate.
