The aftermath of the
inauguration of the 8th Assembly with which Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara
were installed as the Senate President and Speaker of the House of
Representatives could strain the relationship of President Muhammadu Buhari and
Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Here are 5 signs Buhari may dump Tinubu
1. Legislative Control. It is so clear that President Muhammadu Buhari in no way tried to
decide who becomes the leader of the national Assembly. Like the president
said, he has ensured fairness and allow the legislators choose who leads them
as stipulated by the constitution. However, it was obvious some other leaders
including Bola Tinubu wanted to forcefully place Ahmed Lawan as the Senate
President, but this did not manifest.
2. Choice Of Ministers: There is a huge tendency that both Buhari and Tinubu will
clash as some of the ministerial nominees preferred by Tinubu might be rejected
which could spark a row between him and Buhari. As the days continue to count,
Nigerians eagerly await the list of Ministers to be presented and forwarded to
the National Assembly for confirmation. Although there had been rumour
that some Governors had allegedly presented a list of ministers with which the
president rejected.
3. Osinbajo Might Be Sidelined: As a matter of fact, Osinbajo is more of the
only political appointee of Bola Tinubu in this present government, especially as regards the events that just
happened at the inauguration of the 8th Assembly. There is every possibility
that the in-experienced lawyer could be sidelined.
4. Once A General Is Always A General: Although, president Muhammadu Buhari has
made it clear that he should not be referred to as a ‘General’. He has ensured
fairness so far but we all know he has a military background and he would
definitely definitely cut-to-size every over bearing tendency of any
individual.
5. Tinubu’s Over-Bearing Influence: Just like the events that happened at the National
Assembly. It is evident that Bola Tinubu is becoming dictatorial in his mode of
politicking. The Jagaban Borgu as he is fondly
called has a way of foistering his choice on the majority even when it is
against public opinion. His refusal to accept and recognize Saraki also gave him
out a politician who is doesn’t want his authority challenged.
