This is a bill that should never have been   , a national assembly where all members are united in evil, corruption, directionlessness. The most painful part is when no opposition party members like labour and pdp oppose nothing but completely agree with the ruling party even when it is obvious that the decision is wrong 8 Likes |

The withdrawal of the bill is, in itself, a testament to the power of subversion. Don't be swayed by the dominant narratives on this platform. If you don't see any issues with the bill, you're not alone. As a law, it would have countered the tendency of political elites to exploit it as a tool for intimidation. However, our institutions lack the capacity to effectively implement such laws. When we protest and demand the president's removal, we're not engaging in subversion. But when political elites sabotage policy implementation for personal gain, that's subversion. The propaganda disseminated by certain news media organizations is also a form of subversion. Dangote's historical attempts to undermine our institutions are a prime example of subversion. The IMF and World Bank are currently subverting us because the political organization of our country are corrupt. Tinubu's presidency was achieved through subverting Jonathan's administration. If the bill were to be enacted, the political elites would be held accountable. Its withdrawal isn't a victory for the common man; rather, it's a result of the elites' efforts to subvert it, as they face greater risks under the law. We, as products of their propaganda and disinformation, are misled into thinking this is a triumph for us. Sheepish us. 5 Likes 1 Share |
