Bola Tinubu's Fence And The Sambisa Forest Poster.


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.

W
e 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://
