BUHARI TRICKED TINUBU TO GET POWER BACK TO THE NORTH- Afenifere Elder.

In what appears to be a backlash to Buhari because of his appointments last week,  an Afenifere chieftain and Chairman of the defunct Presidential
Advisory Committee on National Conference, Senator Femi
Okunrounmu says President Buhari tricked former Lagos state
governor, Bola Tinubu to get into power. In an interview with
Punch, Okunrounmu said it was naive of Tinubu to think he would
become a kingmaker immediately Buhari becomes President of
Nigeria.
"Tinubu’s story is like Afonja in Ilorin in 1817. Ilorin used
to be under the Oyo Empire and was the headquarters of an
Oyo General, Afonja. But Afonja rebelled against the empire
and helped bring about its collapse with the assistance of
the Fulani. Afonja was assisted by Shehu Alimi, who was a
Fulani leader.
In 1824 Afonja was assassinated and Alimi’s son became
Emir and Ilorin became an emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate.
It was naive of Tinubu to think that Buhari would just get
power and he (Tinubu) would become the kingmaker of
Nigeria. That is what Tinubu expected and that was why
we kept reminding him of the Ilorin episode. We told him
that once Buhari got power, he would turn around and just
forget about him and implement a northern hegemonic
agenda which Buhari is doing now. In 1960, the Sardauna
of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, made a statement publicly that
the northerners should regard Nigeria as their conquered
territory and that they own Nigeria. He said the entire
South-West and South-East should be regarded as
conquered territory and that the North should never allow
the South to govern. This statement was widely reported in
the media. It was in the West African Pilot of October 12,
1960. The quote was boldly published. So, the keys to the
chains of slavery we thought we could use to break free
were just given back to the North by the APC. The APC
became an agent of oppression and enslavement. We can
all see that Buhari only tricked Tinubu to get power back to
the North"he said
