That Bukola Saraki was keenly and
desperately ambitious to become the Senate President of the Eighth
National Assembly from the blow of the whistle was an open secret. To
realise his ambition, he capitalised on apparent error of omission or
commission by the All Progressives Congress leaders on the inauguration
day of the National Assembly.
Saraki’s assumption of the mantle of
leadership of the Senate was not without blatant defiance of the APC
leadership position on the subject matter. It however beat everybody’s
imagination no sooner had Saraki been sworn in as Senate President than
his wife was questioned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Saraki himself is now in the news for an alleged false asset
declaration. Not yet proved though, there is always an element of truth
in every rumour.
While
aspiring for the Senate Presidency, little did Saraki know President
Muhammadu Buhari was going to be fully committed to righting the
multiple wrongs that had drawn the nation backward socially, politically
and economically for decades. Buhari is bent on clearing the cancerous
rot in the system and the entire nation and even the whole world is
firmly behind him.
The mention of Buhari’s name is the
beginning of fear. And the fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom in
Nigeria. The President has yet to appoint a Minister of Power and
electricity supply is significantly improving tending towards relative
stability. He has yet to appoint a Minister of Petroleum Resources, yet
prices of petroleum products are bowing to the demand of natural
deregulation.
Diesel is now being sold for plus or
minus N110 per litre. Petrol, in some filling stations, now sell below
the official price of N87 per litre. Somebody sometime ago asked Buhari
to prove to Boko Haram that he is a soldier. Far beyond the era of
having a free day, the insurgents now admit there is fire in the
mountain. Who says the Buhari-led APC government is not bringing about
unprecedented changes in the land? Any objection against the
anti-corruption war being championed by the Buhari government would be
strongly resisted by the Nigerian masses. Public office aspirants who
admit self-guilt on corruption and whose cardboards are full of
incriminating skeletons are advised to steer clear of Buhari’s
government as there are no hidden places any longer.
Buhari has constituted a rampaging
bulldozer against corrupt Nigerians and downtrodden Nigerian masses,
shortchanged for long, are wholeheartedly behind him to succeed.

I want President Muhammadu Buhari to
step in and settle the differences that occured in the All Progressives
Congress following the election of Dr Bukola Saraki as the Senate
President. The leadership of the All Progressives Congress should accept
him. To me, all what is happening to Saraki now was politically
motivated by the APC leadership.
In the interest of our country and
democracy, Buhari should come in and settle this matter. I am appealing
to the APC leadership to embrace peace and leave the Senate President
alone.
