…As behind the scene high wire politicking rage

Political leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has retained a calm but unease silence since the open quarrel between wife, Remi and her colleague in the Senate Dino Melaye erupted.

Dino and Remi reportedly had a go at each other during a close door session of the Senate.

At stake was said to be issue of the ongoing prosecution of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Deputy Ike Ekweremadu for forgery.

The duo face jail term for allegedly tampering
with documents to pave way for their emergence into leadership positions.

The Senate is divided over the on going prosecution of it’s leaders for the alleged crime.

There allegations and counter allegations of executive interference at the instance of behind the scene hands in control of the government.

The close door session was meant to be a reconciliation attempt but Dino an avowed supporter of Senate President Bukola Saraki was said to have threatened any senator who testify against Saraki in open court with sanction – Remi Tinubu was said to have taken him headlong with is utterances.

”It is the language the duo used to engage one another that is the cause of the ongoing drama that has spiralled into threats to life and protests and calls for sanction by their supporters” a source pointed.

The two Senators reportedly used words unfit for distinguished members of the hallowed chamber – even a child of good morals consensus of opinion have it.

Dino obviously prepared for a major engagement, went all over the media space..granting interviews and dishing out write ups detailing his version of event from different angles.

He went as far as out rightly naming Asiwaju Bola Tinubu with taunts to engage him.

The later refused, though the post made by his spokes man Sunday Are during the early stages of the drama was directly attributed to Asiwaju Tinubu…the Political leader has out rightly shunned any form of public involvement in the un becoming drama.

And digs by societynowng.com has revealed why.

According to sources in the know, Asiwaju sees Dino’s antics as beyond him and part of a larger attempt to shift focus from the travails of Senate President Bukola Saraki and hopefully take away points from his own credibility.

”Dino is a fierce backer of the Senate President..and the ongoing engagement with Remi is believed to have presented his camp an opportunity to achieve two aims, one to shift attention from the problems of Senator Saraki and hopefully reduce the magnanimity of the alleged offence and secondly play up the minuses of Tinubu’s wife in such a manner that will rub off the image of the heavy weight politician …and while this is on, Saraki and other players in their camp would leverage on tide to expand frontiers of there support base within and outside the party, especially working on the created perception Saraki’s trouble is diminished” a source provided insight.

And for the ploy to achieve great success, sources further revealed the drama with Remi needs to drag on for long as possible.

According to a source in the know Asiwaju Tinubu caught a glimpse of the plot and that is why he has chosen to remain silent.

Sources further claim recent release of assertions of one hundred percent loyalty to the All Progressive party by Senator Saraki in the midst of the raging drama between Senators Remi Tinubu and Dino Melaye part of the plan.

According to a source ” Remi Tinubu put her husband in the impossible position by gifting the other side opportunity to clandestinely move against her husband…she made a political miscalculation with her utterances against Melaye, but the latter in latching onto the opportunity broke all rules of etiquettes…but then, this a battle for relevance, a war to protect their lifeline and in war all is fair”

Insiders revealed aside maintaining an unease silence, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as equally directed all followers to sheath their swords for the dust on the drama to settle.

”He wants the matter done with and issues formerly on forefront of national discuss return as soon as possible” a source stated.

A deep source however insisted that is not to say there won’t be one answer or the other from in due course on the Remi Tinubu/ Dino Melaye saga.

”There will be a response, possible when we least and not the manner many expect” an insider disclosed.
