An Attack By The Powers That Be, On The People. by Lordsocrates: 7:19am On Nov 26, 2014
Separation of powers mainly encapsulates 3 basic tenets.
(1) that no organ of government shall exercise more than its power
(2) that no organ of government should interfere with the exercise of power by another organ of government
(3) that no organ of government should carry out the function of another arm of government.

Thus, the recent act of the executive, in sanctioning his security operatives, on an attack on the the National Assembly, not only amount to an abuse of power, disregard for the rule of law...but also trickles down to being an attack on very people in whom sovereignty "supposedly resides",this is because the people elected the members of the National Assembly to be their Agent, their ears in hearing what the government plans to do, their eyes in seein what the executive are doing and their mouth in speaking for or against acts of the Executive or Judiciary.
The Agency principle
"Qui Facit per alium, Facit Per Se"(he who does something by another does it himself). Applies here, thus an attack on the members of the legislature "suppossedly" sent by us to do our bidding equates to an attack on us.

So i wonder what sort of desparation would force someone whose administration's body language has over the years proven to be very very soft on issues of corruption, to suddenly recourse to brute force and go all ganster on Assembly members, when such force if channeled adequately towards corruption or the ever growing boko insurgency would go a long way in alleviating the plight of the common man.
However, instead of attacking corruption, the number one thing that has brought this once great nation to its knees, The GCFRN has rather choosEN to attack the people who put him power, through an attack on the very people sent by the masses to act as conduit pipes, conecting us to him, and most importantly as watch dogs check mating him from abuse of power like this.

Or is he sending some kind of message lile "this is what you get if you stand against me ?" cause if its that am not buying that bullcrap, Tambuwal deserves alot of respect, because his actions and body language, against corruption, has proven that he has passion to see this nation rise from its knees to enviable height, so we should take any attack on him as an attack on the future of Nigeria.

Most importantly, to those legislatures, watching from afar and saying "E no consign me" today the came for tambuwal, and his cohort, but if you keep quiet and let the matter die, the power that be would grow more daring, and who knows ? Tomorow, they will be coming to your house, 'somehow' someone might be dead, bad if its you, and worst if everything still go on, like you never mattered.

Addendum: An attack on one, is an attack on all. #all_for_one. #one_for_all. #someone_somewhere_somehow_should/must_pay
