HiddenBlueprint

Tinubu's strategy for second term was to intimidate the opposition into submission by poaching all the governors and big men in Nigeria into APC. He believed that his method would have a two-pronged result: 1) Sapping the will of opposition candidates to even dare to contest against him. His logic was that they would be intimidated by the fact that almost all the governors are with him but unfortunately for him, he is facing a stubborn opposition like Peter Obi whose approach is different. 2) Tinubu believed that the governors and big men controlled the masses hence he thought that once he captured the elites, the rest would be history. This informed his decision to favour the elites and fund them endlessly at the detriment of the masses whom his policies made poorer. But he forgot one important aspect: when the poor no longer find food to eat, they would set their sights on the elites who become their new prey. You cannot control a hungry stomach that sees your mouth chewing chicken to his face. The result of his failed strategy is that he has been rejected everywhere in Nigeria today. He would go down as the most unpopular president in Nigeria's history. Nigerians have agreed that Tinubu must go.
