THE IMPENDING TWISTS I

As I wait patiently for the resumption of the National Assembly from its recess, I cannot help but begin to juggle the scenario in my mind; as will be dramatized by the dramatist persona in the red chambers of the National Assembly. There are several dimensions to this whole gamut of gainstriving, truth is that there are men outside the red chambers, very powerful and influential men who are dictating the tones to the senators; this behind the scene power brokers are the reasons why this senate might implode, because they are diehards political and economic buccanneers with vested interests ready to go to any length to get their wishes even at the expense of the state and electorate. Thus my deductions:- ATIKU-TINUBU WARFARE This war started last year when after the marriage of convenience of NewPDP, Action Congress, All Nigerian Peoples Party, Congress For Progressive Change, A FactFactionAll Progressive Grand Alliance, Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Ashiwaju) became the overall leader of the amalgamation, when he succeeded in installing the chairman of the party and most of the executives. Some party chieftains were not happy but managed on. Then presidential primaries of the APC, where Tinubu technically knocked out Atiku Abubakar (Trakin Adamawa) from the race to the villa; it was not amusing to a well bred politician of the PDM dynastic, a guru in power play. The Trakin Adamawa only bided his time waiting for an opportuned time to strike back. The right time showed up when the APC dawdlled in making a clear choice between Senator Lawal and Senator Saraki for the Presidency of the Senate; he struck like the political predator he is, with precision at the heart of the party and Tinubu who has played lord of the party up till the emergence of Saraki(NewPDP). APC bled while calling for the heads of Saraki and Dogora in the House of Representatives(master minded by Tambuwal-New PDP) added to the emergence of Ike Ekweremadu(PDP) as Deputy Senate President; that is how we got to this point of political limb in the Senate.
