…Says danger lies ahead
Former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, has warned the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and presidential aspirant, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to be careful of the ‘cabal’ in his party if he hopes to stay alive.
Fayose, who failed to secure one vote as a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), said Tinubu’s outburst in Abeokuta, Ogun State last week was an indication he saw which portends political danger ahead of him.
Recall that while addressing his party’s delegates in Abeokuta, last week, Tinubu boasted that he was instrumental in President Muhammadu Buhari occupying Aso Rock. He, however, later issued a statement saying his comments were grossly misrepresented.
The former governor further advised: “As a knowledgeable student of history whom you are, our great late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and the celebrated winner of the June 12, 1993, general election, Moshood Abiola, were led to Golgotha by self-acclaimed ‘champions of democracy.’ I am sure the same people may advise you to ignore my advice.
“Going by the handwritings that are now clearly on the wall, if I may comment sir, I see you as one that may be swimming against the political tide of the cabal in your party. They are equally preparing for your actions and reactions, and are fully set to contain same, as they did to both Awolowo and Abiola.
“Unfortunately, your kingdom has been badly balkanised, if what happened in Abeokuta is anything to go by.”
Fayose advised the Asiwaju to listen to the Book of Proverbs: chapter 22 verse 3, which stated: “Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it but unthinking people keep going and pay the penalty”.
