1. Buhari may be a good leader, but he is a terrible politician: This goes without saying; playing completely neutral in who becomes the senate president when your party is in the majority? In a country like Nigeria? That is gross political ignorance. Two key tactics that make a great politician are the ability to lobby, and the ability to intervene. How is it possible that while everyone was lobbying for a preferred candidate, he chose not to intervene? That smacks of political naivety. One need not go too far to see how previous presidents were overtly lobbying for their preferred candidates for legislative leadership positions. We can only hope that his nonindulgence will not come back to haunt his presidency. (Although something tells me he had a hand in the emergence of the SP and the Speaker. Take that with a tablespoon of salt though )

Mr Op did you know that your first asertion is exactly what we need to get Nigeria to the promise land? Yes we dont need Buhari to a politician else Nigeria will never leave this current state. We prefer him as the good leader, the only extra we need is his military firmness and resolve to kick.ass. Politicians are the only problem we have with democracy

Yes because Saraki ran unopposed. Those that could have contested against him were busy waiting for Buhari to come and address them. grin

3. Politicians will always be politicians, and Dino Melaye is no exception: One would have expected that after all that the PDP did to this man to terminate his political career, and the respite and platform the APC gave to him, he would at least be somewhat loyal to his party. Well, that's something honest people do, and politicians are not honest. So after vilifying the PDP at any given opportunity, the first thing he did as a senator was to defy the APC (that rebounded his political career), and align with the same PDP (you would think he loves to hate) just to get in his candidate as the senate president. That speaks volumes of a man's character. I tend to find solace in this quote though "Leave politics for politicians and governance for technocrats" - PMB 2015, because politicians will always be cunning, deceitful, dishonest, unscrupulous, insincere, crafty, mendacious and Machiavellian; but that is what makes them politicians.

The PDP senators, it was learnt, saw Saraki who served two terms as governor and a Senate term on the platform of the party as a prodigal son of better consideration than an enemy which they saw in Lawan but you forgot to mention that PDP made both saraki and dino who are now APC members.

Dino Melaye is also a prodigal son of PDP and all prodigal sons end up going back home someday.


Tinubu is the perceived common enemy here for Dino and PDP senators

GEJ wanted to calm things down in a country with a turbulent and violent history. They did their most unpatriotic to pull the rug from under his feet. Knowing the vulnerability of a minority ethnic person in a tribalistic country.

They called him clueless-Areafada
Re: Three Things We Learnt From The National Assembly Leadership Elections Yesterday by aldame: 3:38pm On Jun 10, 2015
I agree with the author, if PMB is too civil, these traders will mess him up. We voted for APC because of him.

Actually they didn't. You should see APC beyond the Tinubu vision.


Errm, there wasn't any contestant you know. Why weren't the APC senators meeting somewhere in the House of Assembly complex?

The truth is their is no APC without Tinubu. It isn't over until it is over. Watch out for Tinubu's next steps. He is a master strategist and he will pay back Saraki in his own coin

They were hoodwinked tongue. It serves them right. They take heavy allowances for a seating but they were no where around? One wonders what really went on.
