Dear Dr Bukola Saraki,
I have restrained myself from commenting on the confusion that the NASS has suddenly become under your watch for many reasons, top of which was because I felt some conflict was normal in a political party that was a marriage of necessity amongst warlords with differing political orientation and philosophy. I however assumed that since we fought so hard together to effect Change for the sake of country, you all will be guided by the patriotic zeal to put Nigeria first...I assumed WRONG!
Frankly, I had no angst that you emerged Senate President because, as the Senate Rule says, it is an election of one by his peers. You actually had a right to aspire and most Nigerians were willing to cut you some slack on the issue...however, you were too impatient and hasty by the ambush strategy you employed...tantamount to a hostile takeover of the Upper Chambers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
If you had been less arrogant and desperate, you could have still won that election with all the APC Senators in the Chambers...but you needed to prove a point ( one wonders to whom) and in that power drunk stupor, you mortgaged the Change millions of Nigerians labored for; some lost lives and limbs for what you treated with disdain by ceding your Deputy position to the PDP in exchange for their support! That was the height of insensitivity sir!
As if that was not enough disrespect of our collective mandate, today,you openly defied your party again by disregarding the party's choice of principal officers in spite of a formal letter to that effect! In other words, Senator Saraki, you became a law unto yourself and a sole political platform which incidentally is not known or recognized in our constitution.
In view of these your recent actions, one cannot but ask "who exactly do you think you are sir?" Are you greater than the collective will of a people? Why must you throw the nation into turmoil simply because you want your way? Did Nigerians vote for you to dominate the political space or dictate our priorities for us? Was your name on ANY ballot paper in the last elections? Save for your senatorial constituency, did you traverse the 36 states and Abuja canvassing for our votes?
Just in case you have conveniently forgotten, Nigerians voted in their majority for the APC, a political party that sold its CHANGE vision to us. We rejected the PDP with its TRANSFORMATION agenda that was leading us nowhere fast. For you to reintegrate the PDP into our CHANGE government just because of your singular ambition is to exalt yourself above and beyond all of our collective wills...that is unacceptable sir!
It has been rumored that all this disrespect is about posturing for 2019. I sure hope not! How do you expect us to entrust our collective destinies to a man who cannot be accountable to Authourity? If you are too haughty to submit to your party, the platform upon which you were elected into the Senate, who will you be accountable to if you ever become President? The adage says "morning shows the day".
Mr Senate President (by hostile takeover) it is no longer amusing neither is it entertaining anymore. It is now getting really annoying and downright irritating. All the carrying ons need to stop forthwith as you are fast losing the goodwill bump you had when Nigerians thought you were a victim of an imposition cabal. It is now clear to all that you are most probably the aggressor and not the victim. Sole dictatorship is no longer in vogue as a political ideology. Even the bible says "two heads are better than one". No matter how erroneous your party position might appear to you, as commonly said in boarding schools back in the 1980s, you "Obey first, and then complain!"
Please sir, as much as I really don't want to burst your bubble, this is really NOT about you! It is about millions whose daily livelihood is threatened by an economy on the brink of collapse; It's about millions of children whose education is inadequate and irregular; it's about millions of unemployed youths whose future is bleak unless the change that they braved intimidation and oppression for starts to happen fast! Those are the headlines we want to wake up to; those issues are what we expected to dominate our airwaves not your personal tussle for power in your own self delusory "Game of Thrones" soap opera.
Enough already please! We have a nation to run!
This is definitely NOT the CHANGE we voted for!

Time will tell.

I thought this Bukola Saraki will be different from his father in bad characters and traitor attitudes,but is "like father like son"

Senator Ekweremadu becoming deputy senate president will not stop APC from giving us the promised change! Confused people trying so hard to divert our attention away from their naivity. There are over 10 principal officers in the NASS and you want us to believe that just 1 officer from PDP have scuttled the change mantra? Its only sycophants and simpletons that will buy your story.
APC accepted betrayers, dined and wined with them and now the guys are showing their true colours and you want to rob your mess to just one deputy senate president' position out of over ten officers in the NASS that are all APC? What of the executive and the judiciary arms? Will they be PDP too?
Abegi stop crying and give us change!

This is actually the change we voted for . Tinubu oligarchic handle on the party has to be whittle down and every members and leaders of the party stand equal.

No one person should Lord over the party. Buhari must be very happy now, his boys are controlling both chambers.

How I wish dis man could see dis himself

Very good advise.

With what Tinub and Aregbese did to Osun state... I totally disagree with the OP

Apparently, he understand the word better than the party does... Change ke? bunch of liars, martial artists and law breakers.. what's the change here?

I can see the hate for Tinubu in you

.

Better things will come out of senate and reps if they allow the members to elect their leaders and not impose. Imposing will introduce God fatherism and favouritism by those that put them their.....this is not what we voted for. democracy should also be practised by our leaders let them allow for that.. in all spheres of governance

Very stupid write-up.

You obviously missed the message. Having emerged as the Senate president against a purported imposition, Saraki should be more interested in using His new office to unite the party because of the task ahead.

Saraki has taken his rabid ambition too far?

You better pray that your beloved Tinubu should not allow Saraki To kill him via high blood pressure and hypertension cuz only God knows what your Jagaban is passing through right now since this heavy loss.

Saraki just waan show Tinubu who the boss is

Jabs apart :

Which other change do we voted for ... this may even be Buhari's way of cutting Tinubu to controllable size since Jagaban influence is getting to much and may frustrate the original change we voted for.

This is the change we voted for ........

NO TO GODFATHERISM.

the op is a yoruba ...no yoruba figure in the senate, i guess that's why he's crying. he prefered thevl initial arrangement by apc that would narginalise se and ss

Where is the trash in what he said? If you don't agree with what he said, then give your own facts and figures to debunk his claims.

How the election of one man Ekweremadu as deputy, now puts a spanner in APC's works, is what I do not understand.

Are all other position not being filled by members of the APC??
