Short of military misadventure, I do not know what the President wants to engage in. There are many ways to look at that situation,

I don’t know how Mr President wants to do it. But giving those people a deadline is putting him in a very uncomfortable position. If the deadline expires and he does not match on Niger, he would have rubbished whatever is left of our stature as giants of Africa.

Why do you think Iran was rooting for those young officers? Do you know Charlie Hebdo? He committed a blasphemous pronouncement against the prophet of Islam in Paris, France, and this caused a lot of riots in France at that time. Iran has still not forgiven France for what Hebdo did. This particular situation is their opportunity to rub it back in, which is why they are standing solidly with the junta. Have you forgotten Libya? The country was doing well until America showed up.

What do you think a Muslim-Muslim ticket sounds like? Is it inclusive? Is it not exclusive? How would you feel if as a Christian in the military, who has all your life taken risks for a country – playing with bullets and dancing around bandits day and night – became a general leading a troop and someone, who says he is a politician, who would only be there for four or eight years comes to insult every risk you have taken with a Muslim-Muslim...

Now, Tinubu expects the generals who are Christians in his army to go and be chasing bullets loyally, right? Let him keep playing. I know some people don’t have the courage to say these things, but that is what is finishing us in Nigeria. If Tinubu believes that the generals in his army that are Christians are happy, let him think twice.
