The battle for the soul of the All
Progressive Congress Party ahead of the 2023 Presidential elections has begun
in earnest with controversial Adams Oshiomole sheepishly becoming the first
casualty. His self-contrived fall from grace is just a drop in the ocean of the
bigger battles that lies ahead. Thus what you see playing out now is just a
dress rehearsal as to who is well positioned to pull the strings and ultimately
bag the presidency. If the cabal behind Victor Giadom gains upper hand, then
the political bigwig from the south west region believed to be gunning for the
presidency will definitely be outwitted—and
played out. Oshiomole ignorantly played
into their hands by his foolish and childish gambit to disqualify Obaseki. The
cabal merely took advantage of the sudden opportunity placed on their laps by
Oshiomole’s needless war with Obaseki—to strike. They knew that Oshiomole was a
formidable stronghold for the chieftain; so they waited, calculating. Now they
have had their pound of flesh by resurrecting the Appeal Court case that nailed
Oshiomole. They knew that with him still in position as
national chairman, the southwest powerful politician with national influence
might just as well muscle his way into the presidency. Oshiomole who was too
short-sighted in his supremacy battle with Obaseki failed to see this and
plunged himself headlong into the trap despite timely warnings by well-placed
Nigerians including former chairman John Odigie Oyegun. Those
backing Victor Gaidom are said to be a diminutive governor from kaduna, and two
serving ministers holding strategic positions in the transport and Niger Delta
affairs. The next phase of the war is
expected to be a clever cat and mouse game targeted at the lion in his
southwest base.The battle for the soul of the All
