Mega parties in the air for 2019

Political musical chairs are warming up for yet another MEGA PARTY in 2017.
A few names are being bandied around certain politicians  who were the  main sponsors of the APC party in 2014.
The recurring political decimals are AtikuAbubakar, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ahmed Makarfi. It is presumed that others to be recruited into the new Mega Party are the incumbent Senate President, Dr. BukolaSaraki, former Kwara Governor and the AlhajiKwakwanso, ex Kano state Governor.
It appears most disgruntled politicians who have run out of favour with their existing parties are now ganging up, as it were, to establish a completely different from PDP and APC.
The reasons are not far- fetched. Their ever vaulting ambitions for a presidential slot may well be at the back of these money bags, who have discovered to their chagrin, that wanting to fight for a place in either the PDP or the APC might be an uphill task.
There is an ever latent fear of the attack dogs in EFCC or DSS which could be unleashed at short notice on any politician wanting to try the slim and seemingly hungry look of President Buhari, which William Shakespeare once captured in Julius Caesar about ‘lean and hungry looking men’ whom he described as dangerous.
Power to President Buhari, is not a plaything but a serious way of life cum business, which took on more than three occasions before he won the Presidential election in 2015.
Now in his first term as a civilian President, MuhammaduBuhari, is likely to confront an avalanche of political heavy weights, who believe that he has not learnt the democratic imperatives of collective bargaining.
For him, power seems so sweet and intoxicating that it should not be delegated to other lesser mortals.
Nigerians do not forget the past easilyand every step he takes is interpreted retrospectively in his military swagger and immediate effect decrees.
Agreed, he is a self- confessed born- again democrat but mere confessional statements are often brushed aside by hardcore politicians, who had in the past suffered jail sentences of hundreds of years.
What becomes of the other factional leader of the PDP, AlhajiBunu Sheriff, who had succeeded increating what many believed was an agenda by the powers that be to rubbish the PDP so that it could not rise again to challenge the APC in 2019?
Nigerian politicians have become political prostitutes and whoever is the main money bag that can put an outfit together will definitely have massive followers across thecountry.
Timing is of great essence. Can the new Mega Party pass through the eye of the INEC conditions?
A nationwide spread and not one ethnic group based? I think Nigeria can take on more parties, especially, a third force to do battle with the APC, PDP and the New Mega Party.
Will the new contraption not suffer the return to the old regional parties-  Action Group under Awolowo for the Western Region, NCNC  under Dr. NnamdiAzikiwe for the Eastern Region and NPC Northern Peoples’ Congress under Ahamdu Bello for former massive Northern Region?
With the creation of many states by successive military governments, it would seem, cohesion of ethnic politics had broken down and many seem currently persuaded to go for six regional geo-political arrangements.
Most former state governors would provide the catchment areas to recruit membership for the new Mega Party.
A country as divided as we are today between- – Christians and Muslims, how can the new Party pick its Presidential flag bearer without falling into the familiar pitfall of always wanting to play to the Northern gallery?
If an Atiku is keen to the bones on wanting to rule over Nigeria in 2019, who will become his running mate, obviously, a Christian?
Can Nigeria accommodate a Muslim- Muslim ticket in 2019?
One can recall a former President OBJ’s rejection of this unholy- contraption of a Muslim-Muslim presidential and vice presidential ticket when Tinubu wanted to pair withBuhari in 2015.
Have we learnt our bearings   in this power -seeking game?
In 2019, let our politicians be more creative and radical in their approach to balance the presidential equation in 2019.
Nigeria had been anchored on North- South dichotomies over time and spaceso much so that people do not find it funny to deviate from a rotational arrangement whereby, if a President comes from the North, next time around, we expect Nigerians politicians to bring a President from the South.
The challenge for the new Mega Party coming on stream in the first quarter of 2017 should be brainstorming on how to turn the presidential equation around so that the three major ethnic groups could have a taste of presidential jelly.
Some friends of mine argue that presidency is not given on a platter of gold or morality it is for those who can invest money and time on it.
