Earlier this week, I caught myself sympathising with Abubakar Bukola Saraki over his perceived persecution and trials in the hands of the executive and the Nigerian Police Force. As a matter of principle, I never sympathise with anybody in Nigeria’s top one percent — no matter the situation, and I have no plans to start now. So I snapped out, reminding myself of all the sins of Saraki.

Over the past few weeks or months now, Saraki and his prime Senate supporter, Dino Melaye, have been the subject of one investigation or the other. First, Melaye was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and was told he was on some no-fly list and was wanted by INTERPOL. He was later arrested and charged with criminal conspiracy and the unlawful possession of arms. The drama that came with that is fresh in our nation’s memory, so I need not go over that. Summary, Melaye is back in the chambers while the cold war continues.
