THE END GAME

The President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki is playing Struthio camelus and it is now obvious even to the dumbest of man in this country that Saraki has shown desperation; trying to juggle the system to see if he will succeed in thwarting the laws, he is supposed to make and protect. His presidency no doubt is under peril, which I strongly believe was caused by himself; for not coming to equity with clean hands and I will be indeed ignorant to assume his innocence with the hyped desperateness from him. Firstly, on getting his summons from the code of conduct tribunal he sort for and got an injunction restraining his been compelled by the tribunal from a Federal High Court; saying he was not sure justice would be served him in the tribunal. What justice is talking about? He has been reported to have arranged with the National Association Of Nigerian Students to protest against his prosecution, NANS of some zones have distanced themselves from the purported protest; some civil society groups have also been roped into the protest. At what price? We can not be so depraved and perverted a people as to take sides with an obvious wrong; Senator Saraki should man-up and face his foibles. The litmus test of the resolve of this government to fight the perennial and hydra headed monster called corruption is on, we shall watch to know how resolved PMB is. The political class whose penchant for corruption is luxurious, will most certainly begin to 'take dressing' from the 'new normal'; no more shall the electorate be taken for granted, our leaders must be what they profess to be and live above board to be able to put the led in check. A fraudful Senate President, will preside over a treacherous senate and how calamitous, foreboding and inausicuous that will be for both the hallowed legislature and Nigerians; for we are judged by the quality of our leadership. All our leaders therefore, elected or appointed and indeed all public office holders it is your endgame, there are no longer safeness in short changing the common man in any mien because the long arm of the law will capture you.
