It is almost ironic to watch individuals who can barely tolerate one another suddenly unite under a single banner, not out of shared vision or ideology, but out of a common desire to unseat a man they could not stop when he stood outside the corridors of power.
If he proved unstoppable then, what makes anyone believe he becomes weaker now that he operates from within, armed with structure, strategy, and the full weight of governance?
This is not a game of wishful thinking. It is political reality.
You are not contending with a novice. You are up against Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a man whose strength has always been rooted in patience, long term calculation, and an understanding of power that many still struggle to grasp.
Around him are seasoned actors like Senator Godswill Akpabio and His Excellency Nyesom Wike, individuals who are not strangers to the mechanics of influence and control. Add to that the intellect and political depth of his background, H. E. Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and you begin to see a structure that is anything but accidental.
Politics is not built on noise. It is built on numbers, networks, and nerve.
So before alliances built on convenience begin to celebrate prematurely, it may be wiser to confront reality with humility. The same man they seek to unseat has already demonstrated that he knows how to win, not just from the outside, but now from the very center of power.
Call it whatever you like, but realism demands acknowledgment.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not just in office. He is in position.
