Momodu speculates Akpabio likely next in Tinubu’s Machiavellian season, in which “everyone is expendable when it becomes necessary”
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Godswill Akpabio should watch his speech and steps in the run up to the 2027 ballot because he may be the next on President Bola Tinubu’s political slaughter slab after Abdullahi Ganduje who resigned suddenly on June 27 as All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Dele Momodu has alerted the Senate President.
Momodu, a veteran journalist and member of the Dele Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), cited Tinubu’s antecedents of ‘use-and-dump’ when he was Lagos Governor from 1999 to 2007 as part of what would soon trigger internal wrangling in the APC.
“I knew this day would soon come when katakata would burst within the ruling APC. Many of our political pundits lack a proper understanding of contemporary history,” Momodu wrote on his Facebook page.
“How could anyone think Tinubu’s STYLE would ever change after capturing Lagos State unchallenged for 26 years?”
He said speculation of Tinubu’s plan to replace Vice President Kashmi Shettima is not new, against the backdrop of how Tinubu treated former Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
“What is happening to Vice President Shettima today is not new; it happened to several Deputy Governors in Lagos.
“Governor Ambode was the biggest casualty, and Governor Sanwo-Olu only narrowly escaped recently.”
Momodu stressed that as regards Ganduje’s case, more unexpected events will unfold, describing Ganduje as a tragic hero who took bullets for Tinubu.
“But sooner rather than later, more unexpected events will unfold.
“On Abdullahi Ganduje, he’s a tragic hero who took bullets for Tinubu. But, like all lackeys, his usefulness has expired. My friend Akpabio should beware.
“This current power structure is absolutely for Tinubu. No one should deceive themselves – no one is indispensable, and everyone is expendable when it becomes necessary.
“The PRINCE does not entertain competition. This is the season of Machiavelli. More victims will fall on the battlefield. No one is sacred.”
