Yazeed ibn Abu sufiyan ( Brother of Muawiyah ) was a good companion. Actually he was the Governor.
After he was killed , Muawiyah luckily got that job.
Umar RA changed governors every four years. Fortunately for Muawiyah Umar RA was killed , and he did not have to leave his post . My hunch is that he started planning for taking over power right from there , slowly gathering force and loyal people around. Then under khilafat of Uthman RA Muawiyah power increased , as his territory was increased. All this meant that he could raise an army enough to challenge the central administration of Ali RA. I do not need to tell how Muawiyah escaped defeat in siffin .
Actually, I was trying you to pay attention at the controversial (as (Insar objected heavily) reward Muawiya and Abu Sufuyan received after Hunain.
Had these were put at their rightful place then,( they did not deserve any special treatment after how they behaved 21 out of 23 years), all this would not have happened.
Yazid bin Sufyan got leadership based on pure nepotism, after his death, abu sufyan, who was blind then, actually forced caliph to pick Muawiya as his Brother's replacement.
but again, this nepotism started with the controversial reward of Hunain and shia brothers should also pay attention to this undeniable fact.
in one of above post, you said that prophet predicted the tragedy of Karbala, if that's true then controversial rewards at Hunain are setting the foundation of Hussain's tragic fate, knowingly.
