SARAKI AND THE LIMITS OF OVER AMBITION

As the  Super Tuesday approaches for the election of the Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives, we have seen party discipline fall by the way side as many leading members, driven by over ambition are willing to work against the ruling party in other to satisfy their narrow political interest. The refusal of the Saraki and the Dogara camps to line up behind the candidates picked by the party APC is  an affront on party cohesion and discipline.
This  is what we are been confronted with within the APC as we choose our senate President and Speaker of the House . Let no man however deservedly placed in the party  misunderstand the opportunities at play and the fundamental significance of unity in the power play that will determine who becomes Senate president or speaker of the House.

Politics is the study of human behaviour and interaction . Politicking is the intervention of forces beyond common sense and a display of an amalgamation of who secures both power and authority . Power and authority is one tool in the methodology of politics that help develop and shape cohesion in the development of the state and the furtherance of democratic ideals for peace stability and good governance. Power sometimes is transient and is sought after at all cost to make possible authority governance peace and progress.

Today within the APC there is power play in the quest for authority. Authority determines how power is and can be used, for one without the other makes the doctrine of separation of powers intangible  . Personalities help wield power, authority vindicates power and creates conformity and cohesion . Party leaders area trusted in the determination and formation of government. The essence of democratic government lies solely with the nomination of trusted party faithfuls into positions of authority to legislate, implement party policy and manifesto and deliver dividends of democracy to the people. The sacrifice is huge and so a consensus ad idem must be met to create a primus inter Paris at both houses of assembly. The senate President must have the confidence of the party in and out of the National Assembly and so must the speaker .

The Speaker of the federal house of assembly  in the APC has secured such assent . Hon Femi Gbajabiamila has the support of the majority albeit a few dissents though negligible and good for any democratic process have had their voices heard . The senatorial presidential race is however portending danger . A disgruntled Bukola Saraki is looking to the opposition party to help him secure a majority in his quest for victory in the race for senate president . What if he gets his way and he becomes senate president will ambition be made of sterner stuff or will ambition have planted a seed of discord within the party . How does he forge ahead in leadership . Will his power have authority or will he have authority and his powers eroded . As an experienced Young Turk is his ambition like Julius Ceaser's or unlike it . Will he scuttle the change ideals and programmes he deserted the PDP for or will he have compromised his ideology and so become an unreliable
leader and third most powerful Nigerian . The party is now been polarised and huge sentiments are rumoured within the ranks and file of leadership as to the value of such an admired person who brought hope and drive to their leadership being young vibrant agile intelligent and full of promise. As in the tale of Shakespeare's Julius Ceaser, is ambition going to deal the APC a deadly blow.
We must all wrestle with our conscience in this common sense revolution built solidly from scratch to overcome tyranny oppression victimisation repression want stagnation insecurity corruption and many ills to develop a new nation. Will the race for senate President destroy our humble beginnings or will common sense prevail .

I am a believer in party supremacy. Towing the party line can never be to the detriment of a minority group or individual . On the contrary it creates strength from the dissenting voice. Working outside of the party is blackmail and as a defector sends a wrong signal . The position of senate president is sacrosanct and many have voiced and opined privately the raison de taire of a former defector being considered to such powerful sensitive position . The wanton disregard for party supremacy begs this question on the lips of party faithfuls and the inability of senator Bukola Saraki to conform leaves sour grapes on the lips and minds of the leadership. Trust is key . What is his hurry what can't he wait for why must he be senate president at all cost . If he wins within the APC caucus then his ambition has been made of sterner stuff but if he goes outside the APC in Parliament and secures victory from his former colleagues he throws a clog into the wheel
of change and compromises the new executive in its quest to build a transparent viral incorruptible government. His ambition challenges the doctrine of separation of powers ....his ambition rubbishes the whole efforts garnered to bring about change. He becomes a liability so incalculable and undemocratic he deserves expulsion from the party .

Let no observer of the 8th Assembly formation doubt the unscrupulous behaviour of this intelligent promising young Turk and find justification in what political feat he is trying to achieve . The doctrine of collective responsibility should be strictly adhered to at leadership levels. Decision into an exalted office of the senate president should not be a matter of discord,acrimony, Individual ambition or selfish jingoistic pride. The price for ambition beyond reason is high Julius Caesar paid with life let the lessons of Caesar be learnt an adopted to build a viral vibrant democracy devoid of personal interest ambition or self absolutism . Humility must prevail pride buried and hope garnered for opportunity beckons on all selfless contributors into positions that will create great chances that will propel our new Republic to heights for the common good of all. Let our common sense revolution be our benefit . Let our party be united for the common good .
God bless Our party God bless Nigeria. There should be a limit to ambition or is it over ambition. Saraki's over ambition seeks to bring down the house. It has exposed Saraki as a desperate power monger who cares only about the room he ccupies not the foundation that holds the building

Mr falana shut up you bloody hypocrite

Is this not the same man that kept quiet when Amechi Ameshit looked out the judicial system in R.state but, shouts at every mis-step of PDP??..



Femi Falani should GO and DIE..




Lesson learnt from NASS election: Even Though Ur Eyes Big, E No Mean Sey U Dey See

Birds that have wings should fly.

I day come.. make Anita finish my cocaine semi first

The dude may be there just to make sure nothing positive is achieved by Buhari. God pass them.

INTROVERT:
Birds that have wings should fly.

If dey shud fly, why are there flightless birds? I dnt think I need to giv u examples

Once again we witness the absence of common decency in PDP and its minions hence their support for political indecency and exclusionism.

I know that Nigeria will be better,all the fake changers(judas) will fizzle out before 4 years and real ones will
stand.

I initially thought it was a lack of decency and a desire to grab power by the PDP before it really dawned that most PDP goats are mighty scared of PMB's anti corruption stand & the only way to throw a spanner in the works is to align with the person that is not only as dirty as they are/were,but someone who also has unbridled ambition & will go to any length.

But he should know that APC has no deep foundation but instead it is a party formed out of one initial interest which was to grab power at the centre. Now that it has been achieved how would APC trim the ambitions of this various factions. From the on-set they did not share the same ideology therefore, those differences are now manifesting. APC as a party has to go back from its foundation and do the necessary repairs or else its structure would collapse totally.

mumu lawyer

Falana is one of the greatest hypocrite we have in this country. When Tambuwal and co were going against their party's directive in 2011 where was Falana? He was wining and dining with them. Back slapping them for dealing with pdp. Now that pdp have gotten their pound of flesh, you have suddenly become an apostle of party supremacy. You are a disgrace to the legal profession. When Gani Fawehinmi died we all thought you could step into his shoes. But alas, Tinubu bought you over with his monthly pay check from Lagos loot.
The like of you makes me want to throw up. The people of Nigeria that you and your likes have betrayed will live to spit on your graves

Ezenwammadu:
Mr falana shut up you bloody hypocrite

U dey mind the large-mouthed agbero lawyer? He & his white-haired occultic Professor-friend (soyinka) have not yet seen a need to call their deranged friend in Osun (aregberascal) to order but they are always quick at poking their nose to less grievous issues.

Falana and Soyinka have suddenly become active


Useless touts.

Falana is a disgrace to Nigeria, how can a man who claims to champion the welfare of the common man turn a blind eye to the hunger and poverty going on in Osun state because of that silly Aragbese

Soyinka has also been paid to write his hypocritical diatribes on the shaming of his pay master Tinubu .


Don't worry Falana and Soyinka before the end of this year Tinubu will return to full opposition and you guys will have steady jobs writing crap for that thief.

Truly this seems morr strategic than my initial point.

Gullible people all over.That piece was not written by Falana.Anybody can attribute any nonsense write up as a smear campaign

BOMBSHELL: President Buhari ‘Snubs’ Tinubu, Consults With Jonathan On Ministerial Appointments

http://nigerianewsnetwork..com/2015/06/bombshell-president-buhari-snubs-tinubu.html

MalcoImX:
The dude may be there just to make sure nothing positive is achieved by Buhari. God pass them.

Lol.

Una still dey blame PDP when Buhari was the brains behind Saraki's emergence.

By next week when Buhari returns from SA you go no say nah baba candidate be Saraki

RevDesmondJuju:
1. APC members as at 9am where waiting for Buhari at the ICC.

2. The APC had instructed security men to seal the NASS complex.

3. Buhari had communicated to Tinubu and co that he was on his way to the ICC to meet with party members

4. The order from above gave the security details at NASS complex to open the gates.

5. The president then sent a letter to the office of the complex containing his address and kick off of the 8th assembly

6. Meanwhile Tinubu and co where still waiting for Buhari to arrive.

7. Senator Saraki was announced as the unopposed new senate president.

8. Tinubu then faints.


Buhari wants to check Tinubu's claims to apc leadership and Buhari's ascension to the office of presidency.

Tinubu is being frustrated out of the apc.

Change dole

Meanwhile in Jagaban HQ, Bourdillon, Ikoyi...

RevDesmondJuju:
Tinubu is currently having serious BP due to what his doctor has diagnosed as shock induced.

Remi Tinubu complained of her husband's deep and fast breathing throughout last night when she called his doctor.

Dr. Gbamgboshe described Tinubu's condition as mild and not critical attributing it to Saraki playing tricks on an old man.

Dr Gbamgboshe is a 37 year veteran of medicine who showed us his certificate and licence to prove that he isn't a fraud like most of Tinibu's associates and told NewsTrolls that politics these days is not a game for old men like Tinubu and as can be seen with the recent happenings in the National Assembly, national politics requires high level intelligence which he said Tinubu can not cope with.

NewsTrolls could not get any reasonable or meaningful comments from Remi Tinubu as she kept muttering inaudible words in yoruba interspersed with the name Saraki.

Dr Gbamgboshe pleaded with NewsTrolls not to reveal his identity but trust us at NewsTrolls not to keep anything from you our dear trolled readers.

Tinubu is currently stable and contemplating retirement from National politics in preference for regional politics.
