Between 2007 and 2010, Tinubu spent virtually his last kobo to ensure he sent Segun Oni out of the Ekiti State Government House. He did. Today, Oni is the National Vice Chair of APC, a party same Tinubu, not another one o, is the national leader.<\/p>\n<p>2. Audu Ogbe once told opposition parties there was no vacancy in Aso Rock. He was national chair of the ruling PDP then. Today, he is a minister under a government being controlled by that same opposition.<\/p>\n<p>3. Tinubu once told Obasanjo that he was the &#8220;problem of Nigeria&#8221;. But same Tinubu went to Obasanjo that they had finished the construction of the opposition ship. They wanted him to be the navigator! The old fox readily accepted.<\/p>\n<p>4.Nasir el-Rufai, the diminutive governor of Kaduna State, once told Buhari that he was not a presidential material. Today, not only is Buhari president but the loquacious el-Rufai is a governor on Buhari&#8217;s party. He bashes PDP to no end nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>5. Fayose and Fayemi once mounted same rostrum, campaigning in Ekiti with Fayose carrying placard at his father&#8217;s burial in 2009 that they should vote for Fayemi. In 2014, same Fayose contested against Fayemi and sent him to the Former Governors&#8217; Club.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaymu.com.ng\/smartphones\/?utm_source=pap&amp;utm_medium=aff&amp;utm_campaign=1ada0683&amp;a_aid=Omafume&amp;a_bid=1ada0683\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"\/\/kaymu.postaffiliatepro.com\/accounts\/default1\/a72f75b38\/1ada0683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"http:\/\/kaymu.postaffiliatepro.com\/scripts\/a72f75i38?a_aid=Omafume&amp;a_bid=1ada0683\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6.
