These are not the best of times for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as fresh facts have emerged of his betrayal by his loyalist, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi.

Sources squealed to us that, Afikuyomi is now working with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to take over Lagos State from Tinubu in the coming governorship election holding on Saturday, March 9, 2019.

Our sources added that; “To actualise the new plot, we can confirm that a huge war-chest has been mobilised by Atiku’s camp to finance ahead of the March 9 state election a vicious smear campaign against the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, believed to have coordinated PDP’s defeat as the Co-Chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.”

“Specifically, Atiku’s hatchetmen are to spread anti-Tinubu messages in the traditional media and social media, deploying any ‘means necessary’.”

“The first leg of the strategy meeting, it was reliably gathered, held at highbrow Intercontinental Hotel on Kofo Abayomi, Victoria Island, Lagos Saturday night where the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, met with Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi and a few others to perfect the plan to recruit a faction of Afenifere and willing human rights activists to create a facade that the anti-Tinubu campaign is the initiative of civil society organizations (CSOs).”

“The support of the likes of Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, Mr. Yinka Odumakin has been secured in this connection. In fact, the inaugural press conference is to be addressed by Mr. Agbakoba and Odumakin, whose relentless media offensive against Buhari had failed to sway Yoruba votes to Atiku across the Southest last Saturday.”

“Afikuyomi, described last night as a ‘Judas’ after benefitting politically from Tinubu in APC, was said to have been part of the ‘Dubai retreat’ hosted late last year by the Atiku camp after winning the PDP presidential ticket to draw up a ‘war plan’ against Buhari.”

Besides, we gathered that Afikuyomi had been the chief coordinator of the second term bid by the outgoing Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos which crashed in the APC primaries held in October in 2018.

Governor Ambode is said to have bought an eye-popping mansion located in the highbrow Ikeja GRA valued at N400 million for Afikuyomi.
