The political atmosphere is tensed up in the country as top leaders<\/div>\n
previously regarded as the core of national leadership are now at each<\/div>\n
other\u2019s throat, threatening an all out political war. War of leaders is<\/div>\n
commencing in earnest.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An informal description has always been given to the so-called Directors of<\/div>\n
Nigeria PLC, a euphemism for those who hold the lever of influence and<\/div>\n
leadership in the country. These directors are mostly former presidents and<\/div>\n
their extended line of followers who occupy various commanding heights of<\/div>\n
the economy. Any student of power politics cannot underrate the enormous<\/div>\n
control individually and collectively wielded by this clique of leaders.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The group did not emerge by accident of history. Some analysts hold that<\/div>\n
Nigeria has at its core a select group of leaders who decides how the<\/div>\n
country is governed since the end of the civil war. In other words, the<\/div>\n
history can be traced to elite officers who fought gallantly to preserve<\/div>\n
Nigerian unity between 1967 and 1970. After the overthrown of General<\/div>\n
Yakubu Gowon, the group was consolidated under later Head of State,<\/div>\n
Muritala Muhammed. Many agree that the clique ruling Nigeria from 1975<\/div>\n
until date are mainly the Muritala caucus, the elite leaders who executed<\/div>\n
the putsch against Gowon. They subsequently ruled the nation either<\/div>\n
directly or by proxy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you check the list of military officers who belonged to Muritala caucus<\/div>\n
in 1975, you will notice that they have remained at the center stage of<\/div>\n
national governance ever since.\u00a0 Either select military officers from the<\/div>\n
topmost rank to that of captains\u2019 ranks in 1976 are since then leaders one<\/div>\n
way or the other nationally .There is even what a friend called replacement<\/div>\n
mechanism within the group.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The group was solidly behind Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as Head of State after<\/div>\n
the assassination of General Muritala, the original leader of the group.<\/div>\n
The baton passed to Chief Obasanjo who had since remained the leader of the<\/div>\n
group. Even when they bicker among themslevs, they have a level of<\/div>\n
consensus, which allows them to execute purges and reinstate normalized<\/div>\n
order.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Over time, the group developed chapters within the public service,<\/div>\n
military, intelligence community, the private sector, religious sector and<\/div>\n
the ethnic nationalities. The control of critical commands of the economy<\/div>\n
is in their hands and they rule through their allies who rose to top<\/div>\n
positions through patronage. I call them Club of 1976.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Former President Sheu Shagari was elected with their blessings. He was<\/div>\n
removed on their watch. The Buhari military presidency was their handiwork<\/div>\n
and his removal received their nods. Former Military President Ibrahim<\/div>\n
Babangida was a tactical master within the group and his handing over to<\/div>\n
late San Abacha was a consequence of power play within the caucus. When a<\/div>\n
recalcitrant Abacha got out of the way, a consensus builder within the<\/div>\n
group, AbdulSalami Abubakar was installed to organize and execute the<\/div>\n
return and enthronement of the leader-Olusegun Obasanjo \u2013as the<\/div>\n
democratically elected president in 1999.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Obasanjo known for his vast networks of linkages and connections rebuilt<\/div>\n
the group with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar taken the place of late<\/div>\n
General Sheu Yar\u2019Adua and Generals Theophilus Danjuma, Aliyu Gusau, Aliu<\/div>\n
Muhammed,David Mark and others on the scene. It was the Club of 1976<\/div>\n
rebranded. It is not a secret that this clique installed subsequent<\/div>\n
Presidents. This includes the incumbent who was elected only after securing<\/div>\n
the blessings of both Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, the club has not always being monolithic. The Petroleum Minister<\/div>\n
of the past, President Muhammadu Buhari has always challenged the hegemony<\/div>\n
of the group. From 1999, he spearheaded a campaign against his group. The<\/div>\n
President appears uncomfortable with many things happening under the<\/div>\n
group\u2019s watch. He actually supported the liquidation of the group when he<\/div>\n
backed Sani Abacha and even served under his regime when Obasanjo was in<\/div>\n
jail. In 2015, however the President had to reconcile with Obasanjo,<\/div>\n
Danjuma and Babangida to return to the Presidency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now the rupture has commenced. With power is in the hands of the<\/div>\n
\u2018rebellious wing\u2019 of the Nigeria PLC, a fight back is emerging. Open<\/div>\n
letters known as prelude to open war are flying all over. A recluse Danjuma<\/div>\n
has even dared the military, calling for self- defence among the populace.<\/div>\n
The Minna General is playing the underhand assault he is reputed for. The<\/div>\n
peacemaker, General Abubakar, appears silent for now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The firework is snowballing; the President and his former boss, the Otta<\/div>\n
farmer, are now taken direct aim at each other.Respcted Danjuma has been<\/div>\n
publicly rebuked by the military. President Buhari is set to review oil<\/div>\n
block ownership in the country. Direct confrontation has commenced between<\/div>\n
the two factions of the ruling clique.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In this struggle for the soul of the nation, the political class is mainly<\/div>\n
playing a second fiddle. That is why the opposition politicians await<\/div>\n
directions from either camp. Late General Yar\u2019Adua led the political class<\/div>\n
into a political war against late General Yar\u2019Adua at the 1994<\/div>\n
constitutional conference. The politicians defeated the late General but<\/div>\n
only because they have a member of the leadership clique, late Yar\u2019Adua<\/div>\n
leading them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the emerging encounter, can the civilian political elite distinguish<\/div>\n
themselves? Can they use this opportunity to wriggle out of the control of<\/div>\n
the 1976 club? It appears doubtful. Many top politicians owed their careers<\/div>\n
to the mentoring of leaders of the club. Even when they have the war chest,<\/div>\n
they mostly serve as fronts for such ex-leaders. The interesting thing is<\/div>\n
that many top politicians are willing foot soldiers of the club.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is also the other dimension. The President may have built a new club<\/div>\n
strong enough to withstand attacks of the mainstream. May be from 2015 to<\/div>\n
date, he has created a new caucus strong enough to have edged out the old<\/div>\n
guards from commanding heights of the economy, military, and civil society.<\/div>\n
This is doubtful, as the time is relatively too short to have uprooted an<\/div>\n
entrenched political establishment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Worst still, any leader needs the people to survive in a group war. The<\/div>\n
mainstream of the 1976 club appears to be quickly aligning with the people.<\/div>\n
They are rigorously recruiting disenchanted members of the public in an all<\/div>\n
out movement they have successfully painted as pro-masses liberation<\/div>\n
movement. There is no clear sign the President Camp has any clear strategy<\/div>\n
to counter the growing populism of the Obasanjo led movement. Therefore,<\/div>\n
either way, the nation is not anyway near exiting the control of the club.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, where do all these put the masses? The citizens are smartly but<\/div>\n
unwillingly out of the equation. Parlous economic situation has weaponised<\/div>\n
poverty; the conscience of voters is mortgaged on the altar of survival.<\/div>\n
The club controlling all levers of economic opportunities then emerges as<\/div>\n
the lord of the manor. The masses surrender their voices to threats of<\/div>\n
hunger and deprivation; poverty is the most potent killer of democratic<\/div>\n
choice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As the fight commences, the bitter reality is that Nigeria is witnessing<\/div>\n
the collapse of elite consensus. Can they fight to bitter end? If they<\/div>\n
attempt mutually destructive war, the masses may rejoice. However, where<\/div>\n
has it ever happen?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For now, we should be chronicling the mother of all battles in Nigerian<\/div>\n
history.<\/div>\n
