Icheoku asks what now for the Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom, the man who made President Muhammad Buhari president but who has now been sidelined and marginalized out of power by the Miyetti Allah power lords of Northern Nigeria? Without a doubt, no other member of the All Peoples Congress worked harder than Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu to make the take over of government from the PDP by the APC possible. So ordinarily it is expected that having labored so much to achieve what was achieved, that he should be allowed to reap the fruits of his labors; except that the Northern Hausa/Fulani usurpers have a different thought all together. They apparently have now said no and not under their watch would such a Yoruba 'outsider' be allowed in the inner chambers of power of their very own Northern government? According to their warped thinking and calculation, President Muhammadu Buhari's government is their own government and it is for them only to enjoy it fully and exclusively too? Icheoku asks these Miyetti Allah Hausa/Fulanis, where were you people when Asiwaju Ahmed Bola TInubu was doing all the heavy lifting that ushered in the presidency of President Muhammadu Buhari?
A case, one would analogize with the Serengeti male lions which lazily lumber around, while lionesses and leopards are toiling, chasing down preys, only to come and chase them away from their spoil and steal same? Icheoku asks would such "baboon dey work, monkey dey chop," attitude of these people help in creating a lasting and more stable political environment in Nigeria where endeavors are mightily rewarded? Icheoku says notwithstanding our usual disagreement with the Bola Tinubu's winner takes all attitude brand of politics, but the current hand being dealt the Jagaban of Boku Kingdom by the Northern feudal oligarchs is not fair nor right. Query:- where were these mallams when Bola Tinubu was working his arse off to make Muhammadu Buhari president? Icheoku says the present gang-up against Bola Tinubu by the Northern power elites can only end badly for President Muhammadu Buhari if he lets them have their way and throw his mentor under the bus. It reminds Icheoku of when the South-south Niger Delta people exclusively claimed President Jonathan and deceived the former president into pushing away and out of corridors of power his erstwhile godfather. Former President Jonathan received the result with his second term failed bid. Icheoku reiterates that only an unthinking fool ever goes up against his godfather or the man who made him as he can always un-thread the thread and bring him down, if.
Icheoku appreciates loyalty to a fault and believes that people should never forget those who made their climb to anywhere possible. Therefore it is imperative that President Muhammadu Buhari contain this Miyetti Allah people who are desperately trying to rubbish his mentor Bola Tinubu and set a do not cross boundaries to protect what he have in ABT. President Muhammadu Buhari must not allow this his so called 'people' to now obtrusively insert themselves in his presidency and claim his presidency exclusively and at the expense of those who actually made it possible in the first place. Icheoku reiterates that regardless of what anyone will like to claim or say regarding the shortcomings of Bola Tinubu and they are many, but Icheoku is emphatic that without him, there would have been no Buhari's presidency for anyone to now claim ownership of. Anyone in doubt should ask President Muhammadu Buhari himself what happened to his other three previous attempts at securing the presidency? Therefore like every laborer that deserves his earned wages, Bola Tinubu must be allowed to enjoy the fruits of his labor without any let or hindrance. Further, anyone not agreeing with this stipulation should wait or sit out the next four years and then try winning or helping someone else win the presidency of Nigeria and see how easy it could be. Icheoku disagrees that Northern Nigerians own the presidency of President Muhammadu Buhari and therefore reserves the right to exclude other people therein-from A case in point is the appointments so far made by President Muhammadu Buhari where 8 out of 9 appointees are from the North; and you wonder if only Northern Nigerians or Northwestern Nigerians made him president or he is president for the North only. President Muhammadu Buhari must therefore let Bola Tinubu assert his rightful place in his presidency without any less because he earned the right to so do.
