Why?
As far as I can see Southern Nigerians are over the moon on this strike and want more.
Its in the Muslim North that people are conflicted between bringing to an end the terrorism that tortures them particularly and the context and method in which this is done.
Without APC propaganda or/and manipulations, it's unlikely Tinubu would continue beyond a first time given abrasive economic policies and bad optics.
But decisive efforts to wipe out terrorism would do much for him in the South and would do so much towards getting him a second term.
This cooperation with the Americans is one of the best things he has ever done particularly if it works.
Southerners have been spreading the view that he is either captive to or is in league with Fulani extremists and Imperialists,the foot soldiers and civil society advocates of this terror.
Proving them wrong will be one of his most significant political accomplishments.
There will be interesting developments going forward.
Thanks
Toyin

The yardstick that I use to judge a man [or a woman] is his [ or her] deeds, his [her] behavior, and his [or her] intentions. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth. And, every time you let someone stand on your head and you don't do anything about it, you are not acting with intelligence and should not be on this earth—you won't be on this earth very long either." -- Malcolm X.
