High drama...would be the apposite phrase to describe the [political] events that have marked this week.

Two former party Secretary Generals issuing a joint letter hitting back at one Cyprian Musiba, a Magufuli surrogate [self-appointed or otherwise] who’s been slinging ‘shade’ at mostly the CCM aging old guard.

Then Musiba, doing what he does best, returned fire by issuing his own warning not to mess with him. That he’s just getting started and has barely scratched the surface. Supposedly he’s got a ton of ammunition in his arsenal.

Then came the tapes. A steady drip drip started leaking. In them, several people [Kinana, Nape, Ngeleja, and the Makambas, father and son]can be heard trashing the hell out of the President. Calling him a bumpkin, ingratitude, saying that he’s scared, and much more!

But I’ve noticed something in these leaked tapes. A common denominator if you will. And that is Nape Nnauye. He features prominently in all of the tapes I’ve heard thus far.

Maybe that’s why after a few days after the first leak, yesterday he came out and made an appearance on Azam TV where he neither confirmed nor denied that one of the voices heard in those tapes, is not his. I was waiting with bated breath to hear what he has to say about the matter. It wasn’t much.

Think about this for a minute: how hard is it for one to wholly deny if it wasn’t him in those tapes? Not that hard.

Instead he hid behind the veneer of ‘this is a matter of criminality’ and that he won’t say much about it lest it interferes with the ‘criminal’ investigation. Is it even being investigated as such by the authorities? Anyway, whatever man.

All I can say about his appearance on TV is that, to me he didn’t pass my believability test. I think that voice is his voice and if I had my druthers, I’d dare him to take the lie detector test.

So, all this high drama got me thinking a little bit and I’m left with a few questions.

Clearly all is not well within CCM. From the looks of it, it appears like there’s a proxy war going on. The new guard vs the old guard.

The new guard wants to clean house. The old guard wants to preserve the status quo.

The new guard is led by President Magufuli. But he is personally not fighting the war. He is using surrogates - Musiba, Msukuma, Lusinde, maybe Bashe, and others.

But who’s behind the old guard? That’s what I want to know. Clearly Abdul Kinana and Yusuf Makamba aren’t the only ones.

As for Nape, I’d characterize him as being the canary in a coal mine. The guy has already fallen out of favor with President Magufuli. He probably has nothing much to lose should the old guard fail in its takeover attempt. So why not use him to test the resolve of the new guard? Heck, might as well.

I have no idea how this battle will pan out. I don’t know how strong the new guard is. I think I have an idea of what the old guard is made of and how capable it is.

Will it be a prolonged battle going well into the general election season or is it just an ephemeral hiccup that will be resolved quietly within the walls of the party? We shall see.

I guess in the end, whoever has a better grip on the levers of power, is he who will win.

Happy weeekend y’all.

It’s your boy, Nyani Ngabu [emoji1548].

For sure musiba dug a hole which nape and co dropped into it. He has played them very well. Let's keep our eyes open then.

I wonder who’s playing chess and who’s playing checkers.

Hard to tell right now..

Nilitegemea Nape angesema ile sauti si yake ama ni yake lakini anazunguka tu,kwa alivykwepa kujibu swali kama sauti ni yake ama sio yake ni dhahiri ile sauti ni ya Nape,kama sauti si yake kwanini asisema hivyo tu,anajidai oh sijui kuna mamlaka zinashughulikia hilo jambo kwa hiyo asingependa kulizungumzia,sasa nashangaa kwani kaenda Azam Tv kuzungumiza ilani ya CCM au kuzungumzia hayohayo aliyoulizwa?

Kabisa!

Kukana [kusema si yeye] hakuingilii uchunguzi wowote ule.

Kwanza kunasaidia uchunguzi, kwa maoni yangu.

Nape kajikaanga mwenyewe,na hao wazee wake.Kwanza angetumia busara Musiba sio CCM,badala sijui kuandika barua na Kutoa kejeli kwa asiyehusika wangemvaa kwanza Musiba ,wampeleke mahakamani badala ya kutaka kuiweka nchi kwenye tension kwa maslahi yao,halafu wamejisahau kuwa hakuna asiyewajua hawa wazee kuwa sio wasafi na walitumia nafasi zao kwa manufaa binafsi. Nape kajiingiza kwenye ugomvi usiomhusu kisa ni ''uwaziri tu''

There will be only one winner and that will be the New guard. The old guard had a chance of winning had they used wisdom on handling Musiba but failed amicably
 
... He knows at this day and age there is practically no easy way of disowning one's voice. especially for a folk like himself who has made tonnes of public speeches.

Machine Learning driven voice recognition toolboxes will easily uncover his cheap folly.

Let's wait for the official response from Dr Bashiru or Polex2, It is about to get nasty..

It would have been so easy for him to categorically deny that it’s him on the tape.

But no, he didn’t do it.

What does that tell you?

... because he knows very well that it won't help to deny it as the tools at disposal will prove him otherwise...

The best he can do for now is to pray and praise🙂
 
Am really sorry for the two [Wazee]; They've hoisted in their own petard.
