Inside sources in the seat of power informed Nigerian NewsDirect that permutation of the Cabals close to the President is that its better to give power to Saraki, a northerner and retain power in the north than Osinbajo, from Southwest and particularly, an ally of former Lagos governor and national leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a very powerful politician, who can also manipulate public opinion and media in favour of his preferred candidate.

“The Cabals are trying to avoid the treatment meted out to the Late Umar Yar Adua’s kitchen cabinet, who lost out completely when the President died”
When asked if there is fear that the president may die, he said nobody is wishing death for the President but it is increasingly becoming clear that the President may not contest in 2019.
“There are fears if his health condition can withstand the rigorous campaign rallies in all the parts of the country” he added.
The fear being entertained is that if anything happens to the President, (God forbid), Osinbajo will complete his term and in addition, will stand for election in 2019 and that means, the north has also lost power again to the south, so it’s better, a northern brother takes charge”
It will be recalled that the Senate has threatened to Impeach Osinbajo over the insistence of the Acting President that the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu will remain as the head of the anti-graft body despite being rejected by the Senate.
Issuing the threat to the acting president on Tuesday, the Senate underscored its seriousness to fight the acting president when it took the decision that henceforth no correspondence from the acting president requesting for confirmation of any nominee would be attended to.
The position of the Senate poses a risk to the effective functioning of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the decision is set to affect the screening and clearance of outstanding 12 nominees for resident electoral commissioners (RECs) out of the 27 submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari for confirmation in January, this year.

The acting president irked the legislature when he on April 12 derided the power of the Senate to confirm or reject presidential nominees.
It would be recalled that the Senate had on March 25 found Magu unworthy of being the substantive chairman of the commission after a security report sent to the legislative house by the Department of State Security, an agency under the direct supervision of the President that Magu is not fit to head anti-corruption campaign of the President because he moves with persons of shady characters who have corruption cases against them.
However, Nigerian NewsDirect learnt that Magu is just a pawn in the political game being played out.
“The cabals are just using Magu’s case as a cover-up, remember that the Director General of DSS, Lawal Daura is also part of the cabal, many of them are afraid that once Osinbajo becomes the substantive president, they will lose their plum positions and affluence they currently enjoy although the president is on his sick bed in far away United Kingdom”
