Politics is a mongrel Craft (encompasses all classes of people in human life) and has advantages and disadvantages. In political practice when you are planning to reach your strategic target, your opponent too must be doing the same thing to out smart your efforts.
When President Buhari is putting all efforts to correct the abnormalities committed in the past 16 years by the past PDP regime, on the other hand, PDP officials must be putting all efforts too to scuttle the attempts being made by President Buhari and to show Nigerians and the rest of the world that they are the only ones that can "rule Nigeria successfully".
The PDP has all financial missiles, Political shenanigans, political experience, planners and strategists that can analyse each member in PMB's government and even his wife, friends and the rest of the people close to him with a view of finding weaknesses and shortcomings that can result to crises and discredit the government of PMB.
President Buhari is respected by the majority of Nigerians and even by the global leaders because of his discipline, patriotism and incorruptible character. So, PDP opposition leaders must have analysed to go via his wife and create a rift in the family: that might give them a chance to downgrade the support and credibility of PMB's future plan (ambition) for 2019 presidential election and total failure of the current leadership.
For example, political practice has similarity with football game whereby each side must be Planning/strategy application to have an upper hand on his opponent. One can remember the 2006 World Cup Final between France and Italy. The world's most expensive player (then) was France's Zidane. Global football bookmakers predicted that France would win the Final World Cup of 2006.
But the Football strategists in Italy made strategic analysis that player Zidane must get a red card at the second half of the game. Otherwise, with Zidane in France team the world cup would never have been won by Italy. Player Zidane was analysed as someone that if provoked would react negatively. Italy indoctrinated one of their players to provoke the player Zidane with abusive words and as predicted, he reacted negatively, which led to his expulsion from the game. At last, Italy applied that strategy and won the World Cup Final of 2006.
Therefore, this writing opines that PDP strategists must have analysed the need to target some of the PMB's close allies and apply their coded strategies to discredit the government of PMB. This writing is based on the analysis of political body language and paralinguistic signs of both President Buhari and the First Lady.
