Former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose has advised APC national leader and presidential hopeful Bola Tinubu to be wary of the party’s “cabal” if he wants to continue in power.
Mr Fayose, who did not receive a single vote as a PDP presidential aspirant, said Mr Tinubu’s outburst in Abeokuta last week was a hint that he sensed the political peril ahead of him.
“I equally read the reactions of your political allies both in the north and in the south. The reactions gave me great cause of concern for you and your life. Again, I see danger!”
Mr Tinubu claimed to APC delegates in Abeokuta last week that he was influential in President Muhammadu Buhari rise to power.
He afterwards released a statement claiming that his comments were unfairly misinterpreted.
Mr Fayose said as “one of the leading lights of the Yoruba nation,” Mr Tinubu is in danger of going the way of renowned leaders like Obafemi Awolowo and M.K.O Abiola.
“As a knowledgeable student of history whom you are; our great late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and the celebrated winner of the June 12, 1993, general election, Alhaji Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, were led to Golgotha by self-acclaimed ‘champions of democracy.’ I am sure the same people may advise you to ignore my advice.
“Going by the handwritings that are now clearly on the wall, if I may comment sir, I see you as one that may be swimming against the political tide of the cabal in your party. They are equally preparing for your actions and reactions and are fully set to contain same as they did to both Awolowo and Abiola.
“Unfortunately, your kingdom has been badly balkanised if what happened in Abeokuta is anything to go by.”
Mr Fayose advised Mr Tinubu to read the Book of Proverbs chapter 22 verse 3: “Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it but unthinking people will walk (sic) into it.
