"The loss of the Senate Presidency and the Speakership of the Federal House of Representatives by the APC faction of Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu is another chapter in the naivety and misguided priority of the current ruling political class of the Yoruba nation. It would have serious consequences for the fortunes of the Yoruba nation in the foreseeable future. The conscious efforts of Tinubu to cultivate the friendship of the Fulani ruling class for the purposes of wining political power within the Nigerian context would definitely end in disaster and this is just the beginning.
Though, it is not as if this was not envisaged by some perceptive minds, neither was it that the Tinubu and his crowd were never warned, but as our forefathers in Yoruba land aphorised, "Aja ti yio s'onu kii gbo fere olode." Yes, the dog that is determined to get lost would never hear the hunter's bugle. The Fulani are a special breed. They understand only one thing – power at all costs. It does not matter how close you are to them. It does not matter how friendly you are to them. It does not matter how helpful you are to them. When it comes to power and control, they rally round themselves to neutralise you and maintain your subservience.
