Politics North, South East Politicians Join Forces Against South West [NIgerian Tribune]

[ProfRem]

The northern political establishment working for the consolidation of the Presidency of General Muhammadu Buhari is set for a major alliance with the South East political class in a shift aimed at tackling the collapse of the North/South West alliance that brought him to power.

Nigerian Tribune reported that some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met in Abuja, on Tuesday, to design clear ways by which an alliance can be struck with proponents of the Third Force.

Leaders of the PDP in the legislature and some key members of the party’s National Caretaker Committee were spotted at the meeting held in Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.



Sources told Nigerian Tribune in Abuja that the pro-Buhari elements are working on the notion that the alliance with the South West has already collapsed and that the relationship with Senator Bola Tinubu, the perceived arrowhead of the political force in the zone and his political machinery cannot be revived.

Meanhwile, as a direct response to this development, a rally in support of the APC National Leader, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, holds in Lagos on Saturday, even as one of the organisers described the event as a “show of force” to send a message to the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership about where the South West caucus of the party stands.

There is no such alliance with the north. We don't like the North for any reason whatsoever. All we want is Biafra. Nigeria will not work
