There are strong indications that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may want to do a<\/p>\n
deal with the Peoples\u2019 Democratic Party (PDP), concerning Osun State as
\nthe digging by the Tribunal progresses.<\/p>\n
Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that the Tribunal had discovered wide
\nspread irregularities during the Osun govership polls, and most of the
\nfraudulent ballots allegedly belongs to Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
\nThe Tribunal hearing the petition of the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP,
\ncandidate in the August 9 governorship election in Osun State, Senator
\nIyiola Omisore has already admitted in evidence as exhibit a subpoena and
\nfour sacks of ballot papers used during the election in Ilesa East local
\ncouncil.<\/p>\n
It was further learnt that while the PDP candidate, Omisore\u2019s prayer is
\nfor the tribunal to declare him winner, in the event that it is
\nestablished that he had more votes, the Aregbesola\u2019s camp is curiously
\nasking for a re-run.<\/p>\n
And then enter the Tinubu angle. Sources said that the leader of the All
\nProgressive Congress (APC), is more interested in holding on to the states
\ncontrolled by his original Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).<\/p>\n
Those close to Tinubu hinted that the loss of Ekiti was considered
\ndisastrous by him, and a chink in his armor, therefore would do all he
\ncould not to allow Osun fall in the hands of the PDP. According to our
\nsource, Tinubu is lukewarm about the center despite his public utterances.
\nHis main agenda is to hold on to the South West.<\/p>\n
Pointblanknews.com gathered that Tinubu is proposing something similar to
\n2011, where he held on to his states while they gave PDP the votes for the
\nPresidential election. Tinubu wants the PDP to prevail on Omisore to back
\ndown, with a promise that the party would vote President Goodluck
\nJonathan. It is not clear how both parties will approach the tribunal
\nhowever.<\/p>\n
But there are three problems. First ,is Jonathan who is an advocate of
\nfairness at the polls. Sources hinted that Jonathan\u2019s position is, whoever
\nwon should be declared winner. Secondly, the candidate , Omisore, is
\ninsisting he would not be part of any deal, thereby throwing in the trash
\ncan any proposal of \u201csettlement\u201d to him. Third , how do they factor in the
\nmembers of the tribunal who already have the facts of the case.<\/p>\n
Tinubu is also facing another upheal task with who emerges the party\u2019s
\npresidential candidate come December 8. As it stands, sources said he is
\ncaught between Aminu Tambuwal and Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n
Pointblanknew.com gathered that months ago, Tinubu was disposed to
\nAbubakar Atiku. But veiled threats by the Buhari camp made him backtrack.<\/p>\n
