It is looking more like the build up to the famed Jos convention of the SDP in 1993 when President MKO Abiola contested. Abiola won but was denied the victory. Asiwaju Tinubu was TT here all through learning the ropes and paying his dues. For those that can recall, the similarities are awesome now.

The process was that each aspirant must emerge from their wards to the state and then go for primaries. There was tension everywhere leading to the Jos SDP convention and no one could tell who exactly Sheu Musa Yar’Adua who was the leader in SDP was supporting between MKO Abiola and Atiku Abubakar (the 2 front runners in the Yar’Adua political camp then) ...
