Is Northern Coalition Potent enough to unsit King of Bourdillion
DDM NEWS

Tinubu
Again, the Rt Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has found himself in yet another northern coalition that seeks a southern sympathy support.
The last coalition coup that shaked the country’s political hemisphere and subsequently removed a sitting president was in 2015.
Let it be known that coalition thrives, only when there are political grievances in the political arena. These people work with the perception of public opinion when a particular government seem to be failing.
Ordinarily, a Rotimi Amaechi wouldn’t nosedive into a dangerous political abyss if there was no crisis between the state governor and the then president of Nigeria and his wife. The plan was to use Wike to ridicule the governor and frustrate the plan to bring in Dr. Dakuku Peterside.
CRA was left with no option than to clinge to a potent northern coalition that seeks southern support in 2014.
CRA led from the front,
Not minding the consequences of his 2014 political odyssey, his joker card was the coalition or nothing more.
The might belonging to the federal was unleashed on him, not even his candidate, Dr Dakuku Peterside was spared.
But, CRA led
He didn’t just Embark on this journey,
He voyaged with at least 4 sitting PDP governors as the chairman of governors forum.
His involvement in the coalition treated the political infection, and made it more potent in the south south, while the bourdillion held down the western protectorate.
The coalition led by the CPC and ACN block made more inroads into the east when the likes of Retired Rochas of the APGA group and the ANPP group led by Dr Ogbonaya Onu entered the centre stage. It was very potent. Potent enough to make governors, SENATORS, reps and assembly members in the south of Nigeria.
Rotimi believed to the end.
Fast forward to 2023 after the coalition has governed for 8yrs through a nothern political demigod called Buhari not downplaying the rold of Tinubu, it became the time for the south. Perhaps there was an agreement alien 👽 to others during the formation of APC that after former PMB, it will be the turn of PBAT.
Nobody knew, but amongst the strongest contender was the Ikwerre LGA born political juggernaut, The Rt Hon. CRA. He knew the bourdillion, the bourdillion also know him. Two political families gunning for the ticket.
The bourdillion has all it takes to win it,
The Lions house have made new alignment and hoping that the alignment will manifest glory at the end.
Few amongst the alignment are the Elrufai of Kaduna, the Simon lanlong of Plateu State, the Ali Ndume of Borno state, Mai malam buni of Yobe state, the bello Masari of Katsina state etc.
Borno state was off the hook, because shettima held down the state through his protege Gov Zulum.
The Lions house was on a smooth journey, not until the Gambari led emergency meeting raised an uproar in the villa. The meeting recommended the ticket hopeful to step down for the then Senate president, Ahmed lawal. A rendezvou that happened few hours to the primary.
A recommendation that we received with mixed feelings, but if everything went as planned, CRA was home and dry. The recommendation was not hackened to.
However, Elrufai happened to CRA on the day of the primary.
He was everywhere around PMB at the eagle square, behaving like lazarus who’s hungry and begging for food, knowing fully well that he has embraced the bourdillions ambition alongside with the CPC block, living the N-PDP block in the deep blue sea. Already by then, APGA and ANPP were no where to be found.
It’s all game, but the consequences will always come.
The political treachery of Elrufai can be best described as that of Juda who sacrificed Jesus christ for some pieces of shellings.
Elrufai betrayed the plan, he drove to the square with all the allys of the Ikwerre born politician. Save former Governor Simon lanlong who stayed through to the end, and of course, Rtd general Tukur Buratai.
That eventful day, I developed a deep understanding of politics. There’s no betrayal in politics, what you call betrayal is actually a political interest to another. But there will be consequences. It didn’t take long for the bourdillion to behave like bourdillion. Elrufai was treated like a common community youth leader.
He has been talking of late,
He was angry that he was shortchanged by the bourdillion,
His ministerial appointment didn’t come.
He forgot his stream, which was CPC
Today, the same Elrufai is leading a fragment of the coalition group. Standing and moving side by side with our beloved CRA. I am yet to see trusted allys like Simon around the coalition. Although Ali Ndume will lead in the Senate.
What are the cards of the coalition in the south south?
Rivers State is already off the table.
Akwaibom State is going to APC
Delta state has gone,
Bayelsa is yet to make decision, but most likely going to the coalition.
Cross Rivers is already with bourdillion
Edo state is with the bourdillion.
Alex otti is with the coalition
Anambra state is with the bourdillion
Imo State is with the bourdillion, likewise Ebonyi state by virtue of Dave Umahi.
We can now agree that it’s purely a nothern coalition. IBB and BUHARI must make a pronouncement. Only a united North can remove the bourdillion.
Conclusively, a coalition joint ticket of AA/OBI can disturb the bourdillion,
A joint ticket of AA/CRA can shake the bourdillion. Also, a kwankwaso/CRA.
But the north have a joker card. A GEJ/Kwankwaso joint ticket. They would endure the south to finish the remaining 4yrs, and come back for their 8yrs. But their victory is not guaranteed. This is 2025, and next year is 2026. Where’s the momentum?
A primary will happen, who amongst these men can defeat an AA in a party primary?
I can’t go to war with people like Elrufai of Kaduna.
I am CTC.
