Saraki, Ndume behind the eighth ball

Sir: It is obvious that the house majority leader’s position earlier bestowed on Senator Ndume Ali from the first, was an Indian gift after all. Whoever thought that he would get the keel-hauling that he received recently? The relationship between Senators Ndume Ali and Saraki Bukola appeared perfect to me.

When the going was good, he was among those who said,”let’s hurriedly conduct the election, before they return to the house. This is our chance.”(Emphasis mine). Small wonder, he became relevant and influential in the Eighth Senate. Politics is a dirty game indeed especially when power, wealth and prestige are concerned. If that is the case, “Necessity knows no law.”

Morality in politics doesn’t do any good. Many have opined that it has never advanced the growth of society. But a country can never move forward if politics is not played within the asymmetry of morality and the algorithm of what’s best for the country.

Make no mistake about it, as stated by me elsewhere,”social stability is necessary first before economic and political stability.”‬ How can a country develop when politicians do not believe in tractation among all?

When nihilism and survivalism take the place of heroism?
Things are heating up with this assembly and the executive, both of which are of the same political party. We never see them host a People’s Filibuster on how to stand up for the rights of everyday folks, for protecting the powerless, for seeking equitable workplace conditions, for making multinational companies invest their profits in Nigeria to create jobs and it is disturbing.
