Looking at the trajectory of Tinubu, Aregbesola is one of those used to subvert the will of the people in Lagos, especially in the political axis of Iyana Ipaja and other axes over the years. Tinubu eventually installed him as the governor of Osun to further his political dynasty in the Southwest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the joy of every citizen to see the demystification of their so-called political godfathers as witnessed in Edo and other places in the country. When the political actors fight, then the liberation of the citizens is closed. We also saw the demystification of the political dynasty in Kwara using the Otor Ge in 2019. However we look at it, it\u2019s a welcome development when the political gladiators clash because it then suggests that it\u2019s one of the easiest ways for the people\u2019s freedom to be actualized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, there is a political dynasty in the southwest, which is why some of us kick against the presidential aspiration of Tinubu. If you look at the way he operates like a God in Lagos and the other parts of the Southwest, imagine giving such a person presidential power; Nigeria will likely become a one-party state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTinubu is not democratic at all; he imposes his will; imagine he removed a governor because he did not do his bidding and put a narcissist in Lagos. It has always been like that in the majority of the state\u2019s controlled by him in the southwest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will affect his ambition because if you look at the self-indictment by Aregbesola, that they have been the ones who rated him beyond what he deserved to be rated; if you look at that indictment, you will realize that they are the ones who expanded his political reign. So, if people like Aregbesola and some critical stakeholders are against Tinubu, then there is a problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you for the fact that Tinubu\u2019s Presidency is going to be a jeopardy for people like Aregbesola, Akeredolu, Fayemi, Amosun in Ogun because they would not work for him. The Oyo people may likely work for him because there is no substantive leader there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is always a joy to see the demystification of the so-called political God, just like Aregbesola said, \u201cindeed there is no God except the Almighty,\u201d and you know when people begin to ascribe to himself power meant for the almighty God; then they are setting themselves up for defeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the last election, this man went to Osun and was openly boasting before the Kabiyesi that he is richer than Osun; what is in Osun? I totally agree with Aregbesola on the issue he raised that Tinubu is equating himself to a political god in the southwest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
