It seems most of us are not good at reading body language.
I will explain to you why Buhari is not supporting Tinubu even when Tinubu is from the ruling party.
I’m going to explain it from President Buhari’s body language.
Number one
Buhari will never support a southerner against his fellow Fulani Moslem brother.
Have you forgotten when Atiku Abubakar said that he would make Jonathan’s government ungovernable?
Have you forgotten when Buhari said in 2012 that monkeys and baboons will be made to soak in their own blood?
He said this while responding to an interview with BBC Hausa service.
At the end of these inciting statements from Buhari and Atiku, Boko Haram, bandits and herdsmen activities kicked off.
Many churches and mosques were attacked, burnt and many lives were lost, which is a good way of making government ungovernable.
Many Nigerians got angry with Jonathan called his government a clueless government, voted for Buhari thinking he will solve the insecurity and stop monkeys and baboons from further bloodbath but you and I should by now know that monkeys and baboons are been killed daily.
He only came to fulfill his long-time ambition – to rule Nigeria both as a military and civilian president. Nothing else!
Do you think it is proper for Buhari to support Tinubu and live Atiku just like that?
Is it because Tinubu went to Abeokuta and bragged how he single handedly made Buhari the president of Nigeria that will change the mind of Buhari to support Tinubu?
A Fulani man will never live his Fulani brother and support another one who is not Fulani.
If you think I’m making it up, let’s watch Buhari and see if he will support Tinubu.
Number two
Have you forgotten what happened the day APC concluded their primaries?
Have you forgotten how all the northern Nigerian governors moved from APC primaries to congratulate Atiku for winning PDP primaries?
Do you understand what this implies?
From that day both the northern serving PDP senators, serving house rep members, state governors never stopped showing their support for Atiku even when Atiku is not in APC.
The mistake some Obi-dient members are making is to undermine what Buhari and all the northern political leaders and Atiku will do in this election.
To me, all these verbal attacks on Tinubu whom we already knew that he is not feeling fine is uncalled for because from all indication he is going nowhere with his “down payment for electricity for roasted corn and boli” speech.
He scammed himself when he did not allow Osibanjo who would have attracted more supporters than him to represent APC.
But again, why didn’t Buhari show support for Osibanjo during the primaries?
It is because there were no Fulani aspirants among them.
Why should Buhari support Osibanjo when Atiku is in the race?
It is not about keeping any legacy. He has a candidate who is not in his party and making his support public will lead to anti-party.
Number three
Tinubu is a politician with a lot of political sons and daughters but as far as 2023 general elections is concerned, Tinubu is a political orphan.
He failed to secure any public endorsement from either past or present Nigerian presidents and you think it’s a good omen.
At least, Peter Obi was publicly endorsed by former President Obasanjo, Afenifere leaders, Middle belt leaders, although there’s a mistake somewhere which I will talk about later.
If you think Atiku doesn’t have endorsement, then think again.
Atiku has a secret endorsement. Some serving governors, senators and representatives of northern Nigeria are with him.
Tell me which of the past or present president that has openly endorsed Tinubu?
Tinubu didn’t see this coming because he thought they were with him until recently when the old naira notes which were soaked inside paints producing different ankara designs began to stir public debates.
It was out of frustration that made him to say that “they” are hiding fuel and new naira notes and advised his Yoruba supporters not to give up on him.
He told them even if it means to trek to the polling units, let them do it so that he can win.
He has begun to understand the balablu handwriting on the wall and how the policy was targeted at frustrating his down payment for emilokan.
Number four
This is a game about survival of the fittest.
Even Peter Obi is facing a lot of political frustrations but he chooses not to call names.

In one of his zoom meetings with support groups, they complained of how the banks are blocking most of their accounts.
Peter said if such things are happening to you, then you can understand what they have been doing to me.
Don’t forget that Peter Obi is very careful with anything that will make him point the accusing finger at his opponents.
When last did you hear Atiku complain of political frustrations or anything?
Number five
Atiku is the man you should be careful with and not Tinubu who goes about creating content for skirt makers and comedians.
Atiku is coming…beware!!!
Number six
Very soon, Kwankwaso’s NNPP will merge with Atiku’s PDP.
When that happens, you will understand this post better.
Do you know that Kwankwaso’s party has candidates contesting for different positions more than Peter Obi’s Labour Party?
Recently, INEC released the final list of candidates for the fourth-coming National elections which shows that Labour Party has no candidates for the Senate in Borno, Ekiti, Katsina, Kebbi, Lagos (the State with the largest registered voters).
The Labour Party has 1 candidate out of 3 in Bayelsa, Delta, Jigawa, Ondo and Yobe.
The Labour Party has 2 out of 3 in Bauchi, Kogi, Niger and Sokoto States.
But…
NNPP of Kwankwaso has complete candidates for the Senate in all 36 States.
For the House of Representatives, LP has no single candidate in any of Borno (9 seats), Ekiti (6 seats), Katsina (13 seats), Kebbi (8 seats), Lagos (24 seats) and Ondo (9 seats).
Labour Party has less than 50% representation in Bauchi, Jigawa, Kogi, Niger and Plateau.
Representations for Labour Party in Bayelsa, Cross Rivers, Delta, Kano, Sokoto and Zamfara are incomplete.
The implication of this is that the Labour Party is alarmingly deficient in almost 20 of the 36 States in spite of our 1, 2, 5 million marches.
No one would have expected that there would be no single candidate of Labour Party for Senate in Lagos state.
NNPP has all the 3 senatorial candidates and 22 House of Rep candidates and very soon, they will merge with Atiku’s PDP and the case will be closed.
Don’t be surprised that the money that he will use for his election is ready.

The mistake that I don’t want all Obi-dients to make is to focus much of their energies on Tinubu while Atiku is cruising to victory.
It will not be funny seeing an old Fulani president handing over to another old Fulani president on May 29.
If that happens, Atiku’s government will be worse than Buhari.
All those monies and time he used to contest for president since 1990s, about 7 times now, if he wins, he will make sure all Nigerians cough them out with a lot of interests.
This is what happened with Buhari that made Buhari keep borrowing and as it is now our unborn children owe all the countries he borrowed from.
Number eight

Most of our mothers and fathers who are not on social media know very well that Buhari’s broom gaff swept us away from reality
Most of them think the alternative to broom is umbrella which they are used to but few of them knew about Peter Obi and Labour Party where papa, mama and pikin gather.
