If truly, a
household will remain peaceful until the bastards attain adulthood, then the downpour
in the Peoples Democratic Party which led to a forceful coexistence of the wet PDP
Pigeons with the then fast growing Chicks in the All Progressives Congress
(APC), all in a bid to dominate the corridors of power and control the decision
making mercenaries of the nation, ought not to have been received with utter
shock because growth is imminent.
Having considered
the numerous anti-party moves that was credited to the Senator Bukola Saraki led
caucus which consist of aggrieved Senators and embattled defectors from the
Peoples Democratic Party in the ranks and files of the All Progressives Congress and also the
seconded nomination at the inaugural sitting of the 8th National Assembly which
brought in Senator Bukola Saraki (Kwara State) of the All Progressives Congress
as the President of the Nigerian 8th Senate, in a house session with Senators of
the Peoples Democratic Party as majority, one should be convinced that the estimated
decision at the floor of the 8th National Assembly was well staged managed and executed.
In a bid to
defy the supremacy of the All Progressives Congress, the Senator Bukola Saraki led
caucus in the All Progressives Congress snubbed the timely invitation,
disregarded the decisions of the national leadership of their party and violated
provisions of the party’s constitution by going into an alliance with embattled
Senators of the Peoples Democratic Party in other to make Sen. Bukola Saraki
the President of the Nigerian 8th Senate and to also return Sen. Ike Ekweremadu
(Enugu, PDP) who has been serving in the
National Assembly since May 29, 2003 and doubled as Deputy Senate President of
the Nigerian 7th Senate back to office, position PDP Senators as Chairmen of
sensitive and most reputable committees in the house and possibly make Senator David Mark (Benue,
PDP) the Senate Majority leader, if by chance few APC Senators are successfully
convinced to defect to the PDP.
It was
reported by a reliable source that the leadership of the All Progressives
Congress strived to manage the crises that has to do with arriving at a
consensus candidate for the position of the Senate President but the Senator
Bukola Saraki led caucus was hell bent on boycotting the process as laid down
by the leadership of the party, all in the bid to jettison the efforts of the
All Progressives Congress and in fulfillment of their personal ambitions.
For Nigerians
who reside with the believe that the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as
Senate President and Hon. Yakubu Dogara as Speaker of the House of
Representatives, as against Senator Lawan Ahmad (Yobe, APC) and Hon. Femi
Gbajabiamila (Lagos, APC) who were perceived as his preferred candidates, as a
blow below the belt for Asiwaju (Sen.) Bola Ahmed Tinubu (National Leader, APC and
Former Lagos State Governor), it is very important to make it very bold that
the elections at the Nigerian Legislative arms has absolutely nothing to do
with the national enigma who has lived his entire life in excellent public service
and pursuance of a better life for the oppressed Nigerian masses.
I must say
that I seem to be lost in the triangle of people who believe that the emergence
of Senator Bukola Saraki as President of the National Assembly and Hon. Yakubu
Dogara as Speaker of the House of Representatives will undermine Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu’s affluence in the ranks and files of the All Progressives Congress, his
national relevance and perhaps his global heroic status based on the widespread
falsehood by members of the Peoples
Democratic Party who are yet to live above the pains of the defeat from the
last general elections.
Conclusively,
I am sure that Nigerians watch keenly but it is also imminent to state that the
conspiracy by embattled PDP defectors in the APC which produced Sen. Bukola
Saraki as President of the 8th National Assembly, as against the supremacy of
his political party has all the tendencies of phasing-out our national
leadership from the expected deliverables, if the illegality is not reversed by
a competent court of law, for past and present public officials will reference an
incumbent Senate President who is also standing trial that has to do with abuse
of office and financial mishandling of the State’s treasury with the Economic
Financial Crimes Commissions (EFCC).
In addition,
I must also say that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s progressive roles in building
the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) into a regional party in the South West,
later across regions and later proposed a merger to the CPC, ANPP and Gov.
Owelle Rochas Okorocha (Imo State) led faction of the APGA, which was successful
and eventually sunk the 16years unproductive leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) at various States and at the Federal level, has nothing
but been absolutely absorbed in history and will stand the test of time.
Perhaps, Senator Bukola Saraki’s crass determination to occupy the prestigious
office of the Senate President is to seek immunity from legal prosecutions for
his corruption cases and further delve our country into the ocean of corruption.
