Ok, the gist is that the All Progressives Congress
(APC) leader and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, raised an alarm concerning military personnel stalking his home
which is nestled in highbrow Bourdillon, Ikoyi in Lagos. He didn’t quite
like the sight of the soldiers milling about the place and said so
here.
The army debunked Tinubu’s claims with a statement of its own; to the effect that no soldiers were deployed to Asiwaju’s home and that the APC leader is only crying wolf where none exists. See the army’s riposte here.
Anyhoo, we saw this banner resting on the fence of Bola Tinubu’s home this morning as we drove past Bourdillon. Two banners were hung on the fence of the main house and the adjoining building.
It was a message for the army, more or less. One that suggested that their skills were better suited elsewhere. “This is not Sambisa Forest. Wrong Posting,” the banner read.
Now, in case you’ve been submerged in some cave in the last decade, Sambisa Forest is the swathe of thick forest and shrubs under the control of the terrorist Boko Haram sect. The army has found the area impregnable, billions of dollars in military budgets after.
We can wager that APC stalwarts and Tinubu supporters must have put up these mischievous banners while men slept.
Just before midnight last Thursday, a lorry load of soldiers traversed Bourdillon Road and Falomo Roundabout for about an hour before disappearing into the night, one eyewitness said.
The APC has also sent out a statement to the effect that most of its party officials are being ferreted by the military and that their mobile phones have been bugged as well.
"This is the message we found on the fence of the APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu's house this morning. The two banners hung in the fence of the main house and the next building to his house. The message was loud and clear to the military who have been patrolling Tinubu's house and the stretch of Bourdillon Road since last Sunday. The message on the banners meant for the military- "This is not Sambisa Forest. Wrong Posting."Sambisa Forest is the forest under the control of Boko Haram for years and is yet to be penetrated by the Nigerian military. It is suspected that APC stalwarts and Tinubu supporters must have put up the message over night.
Last night about 11pm, a lorry load of soldiers drove back and forth on Bourdillon Road and round the Falomo Roundabout for about an hour before finally driving off. http://www.maxgist.com/2015/02/bola-tinubus-fence-and-sambiisa-poster.html
