Growing intolerance of opposition by the authority
A deliberately weakened National Assembly peopled by members who failed woefully in the last primaries, meaning their inability to deliver for Tinubu at the general elections
A new crop of activists – Sowore, VDM, Mama peace etc who mobilise through the mind using social media and are seeking the magic of transferring that influence from Social media to physical engagement. Once that is achieved, it’s over for Tinubu
The seemingly uncontrollable nature of Seyi Tinubu. The first son seems to be running on his own steam and may drag the government down with a misstep or wrong move since he seems to b moving without seeming guidance and advice. His City boy movt for example competibg against party structures and beibg defeated in strategic areas during last primaries
Inceastous fights within the APC. The last primaries threw up a lot of angst, and some members have left, and others are still there, fighting against it from within. Lagos for example where his daughter was said to hve even sent in a petition
Tinubu’s inability to grow into a statesman-like role. Still making ethnic based appointments, still not being able to rein in his footsoldiers, still being positioned as a sectional leader
No real International weight, meaning that he can’t pull in support internationally
90% disspproval rating amongst diaspora, and this cuts across all tribes
Akpabio, Wike, Shettima, and Hope Uzodinma should be watched very closely; they are real weak links
Inability to effectively combat Insecurity is a main Achilles heel. This would unite Nigerians against his reelection
Despite all these, he will emerge cos unlike Buhari and Jonathan, he understands the Political philosophy of ‘grab it and run’
Come and beat me
Thanks
