Firefire:


What is wrong with you my friend? I think is high time you stopped being naive / a doubting Thomas and get into reality thoughts about your dubious and power drunk President.

Mr. Mohomodu Buhary has no single INTEGRITY whatsoever but a high level megalomaniac.

He said he felt humiliated by the party he co-founded and the government he jointly put in place with others.

He was in PDP studying jumpology before graduating to APC.

He was never a co-founder but a political prostitute. He was part of the cowards that saw the swing of GEJ pendulum then teleported to a greener pasture.

There were strong indications that President Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress and governors are considering juicy offers for the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, to prevent his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

It was learnt that some prominent leaders of the party, especially the coordinator of the reconciliation initiative, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, might be involved in the negotiation with Saraki.

Tinubu was said to have been briefed about the President’s interaction with Saraki and others.

But Saraki, who bowed well for the President after a meeting at the Presidential Villa, was frank in expressing his mind.



He said he felt humiliated by the party he co-founded and the government he jointly put in place with others.

He was solemn in expressing his disappointment to the President and some APC governors.

Investigation conducted by our correspondent revealed that the President and some APC governors met with the Senate President as a follow-up to the talks with New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) caucus of APC being coordinated in the past few months by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

It was gathered that most APC leaders, governors and other members were unhappy that the party was on the verge of losing Saraki to PDP.

They believed that the defection of such a “political heavyweight” to the opposition might affect cohesion in APC for the 2019 poll.

The consequences of a depleted APC impelled some governors and party leaders to broker understanding between the President and Saraki.



A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “At least, for the first time, there was a frank session between the President and Saraki.

“He expressed disappointment with his humiliation by the government he fought hard to put in place.

“We were all sober while he relived his travails, because none of us would pray to be in such a situation.

“We understood with him but we felt it was time to forgive and forget in order to move forward.

“As part of preventing Saraki’s defection, we may offer him juicy terms including:

.Automatic return as the President of the Senate in 2019

.More consultation and inclusiveness in key decisions henceforth

.Mutual Executive-Legislature relationship

.Revisiting all issues raised by nPDP Caucus which formed the basis of talks in the past few months

.Reconciling with all aggrieved leaders of nPDP

.Avoiding a repeat of past mistakes which led to his humiliation

“We also appeal to Saraki to shelve moves to defect to PDP or any other party. We agreed that he has a better stake in APC than any other party.”

Asked if Saraki made any commitment, the source added: “There was none yet, but the atmosphere was cordial and hopeful.

“After the meeting, he even bowed well to the President.

“The session was the climax of talks in the past few months. As one of our leaders, we leave the final decision to Saraki to take.



“But one thing was clear from Saraki: he will want all commitments put into writing and documented in case of any breach in the future.

“To some of us who have been wooing him, such a demand is in order. It is a case of once bitten, twice shy.”

Responding to a question, the source said: “The final stage of talks with Saraki will still involve some of our leaders, like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who is coordinating the reconciliation in the party.

“In fact, Tinubu has been briefed on the outcome of the meeting at the Villa and why he has to play a key role too.”

Some of the major complaints on nPDP are:

Grudges on the conduct of state congresses
Alleged refusal of the party leadership to stamp its feet on parallel congresses in some states
In the constitution of the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) the New PDP block was generally sidelined as virtually no position was conceded to it. The only member of FEC that belonged to former New PDP block comes from a state that contributed virtually no vote to the APC in the 2015 presidential election.

There has been no significant patronage and appointments to executive positions in various government agencies such as Chief Executives and Executive Directors of government agencies and parastatals as members of our block of the party continue to helplessly watch as these positions are shared by the erstwhile CPC, ACN, ANPP and even APGA blocks of the party and those who have no party at all.

In appointments into boards of various government agencies, very few former New PDP members were patronised. These are, however, not commensurate with our contributions to the growth and victory of the party.

When members of the former New PDP block showed interest in running for the offices of President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives, they were subjected to a vicious and relentless political opposition as if they were not legitimate members of the APC family.
During the party primaries preparatory to the 2015 general elections, most of the promises made to sitting members of the National Assembly, who belonged to the former new PDP in terms of a level playing field were reneged upon or observed more in breach.

There has been general lack of consultation, non-recognition and even persecution of former New PDP members and leaders by the party and government. For example, some of our leaders are denied the security cover necessary to visit their constituencies even though they are elected representatives of the people in a government they sacrificed so much for.

Harassment, intimidation and persecution of former New PDP leaders by the government is still an ongoing affair. We do not want to overstate the obvious by cataloguing names of former new PDP stalwarts that are targets of this political pogrom.

Amitez:
My candid opinion and advice to Saraki, rAPC and nPDP:

Nigerian leaders are like Indian and Lebanese employers. When you work for these people and put up your best effort, they rely on you for successes, yet will look down on you. The day you resign, they come begging and offering you what they should ordinarily have done years before. Why? They are deceitful. If you fall for their bate, the following happens.

They will learn all you know and subsequently throw you out of the window. I worked briefly with Churchgate group on graduation. There was this very smart guy that was in this position, on resignation, even the MD took him out for dinner just to persuade him to remain. Unfortunately, this guy fell for the bate. The rest is story. He lost the new job and was sacked by Churchgate within same year. Of course, they already got someone to understudy him, so he was no longer relevant.

Import of above is for Saraki and the nPDP, rAPC and co. to complete their defection and crumble APC. I can imagine if he lost at the Supreme Court. Today, he would be crawling before Buhari. A leopard can never change his spot, so is Buhari. He has not changed a bit from the same man we knew in 1983 - 1985.

A word is enough for the wise!!!

NB: Mr. Senate President, I perceive you will read this. Please, be "bloody, bold and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man (presidency)" for you hold the four aces now. If you miss this, you are heading for political oblivion!
