Maina is from the North. Anyone complaining should dust his voters card and wait for 2019. As for PMB, I'm neither surprised nor disappointed. I have never believed and will never believe in your anti-corruption facade. It's all balderdash.

PoliticsAPC Replies Sagay; Calls Him 'rogue Elephant ' by arabbunkum(op): 5:29pm On Sep 25, 2017
The All Progressives Congress has hit the nation’s critic-in-chief, Professor Itse Sagay, over his statement in a recent newspaper interview accusing the party’s leaders of being a bunch of unprincipled people, encouraging and accepting rogues into the party.

The APC in turn called Sagay, a professor of constitutional law, a ‘rogue elephant,” in a reaction issued by publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.

“Our attention has been brought to an interview published on pages 46-47 of The Nation Newspaper of Sunday, September 24, 2017, granted by the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Professor Itse Sagay (SAN).

“In the said interview, Sagay described the leadership of the All Progressives Congress as “the most unprincipled group of people” who are “encouraging and accepting rogues” in the party. He said: “When I say ‘rogues’, I don’t mean stealing. In literature, when you say someone is a rogue elephant, it means people who are running riot and destroying the party.”



“The Webster dictionary defines ‘rogue elephant’ as “one whose behaviour resembles that of a rogue elephant in being aberrant or independent.” Clearly if we have today, anyone in our government or, by extension, the party who feels accountable only to his own ego; who does not feel the need to bridle his tongue for the sake of anything that is higher than himself; who feels independent of everyone and every institution; that person is Professor Sagay.

“Asked by the interviewer if he would stop speaking if the President asks him to stop speaking, he said: “Yes, he is my employer. If he tells me to stop talking, I’ll stop talking. But I have certain rights too that I can exercise in addition to that, because I’m not going to be in a position where I am impotent. So, I must obey him, but I can go beyond that and obey myself too. That’s it.” Framed in another way, what Sagay is saying here is that, no matter what is at stake, he would rather resign than obey the President if the President tries to restrain him. This is the quintessential rogue elephant behaviour.

“In his sheer arrogance, he forgets that it is impossible for him to call out the leadership of the party as “weak” and “unprincipled” without indicting the President, who is the leader of the party and has the fundamental responsibility to build the party. If Sagay had any iota of respect for the man who dug him back from inevitable oblivion and puts him in a position in which he now feels superior to everyone, he would channel his opinions and advice to the President on how to make the party stronger and more principled. It appears however that Sagay does not have anything constructive to say about anything. He only knows how to tear down and assault everyone and everything.

“We want to remind Sagay and all other appointees of our government that the only reason they occupy their current position today is because the APC won the election. There is, therefore, a matter of honour to show decorum and respect for the party and its leadership. You cannot love the fruit and hate the tree that produced it.”

Sagay had also had several verbal squabbles with the National Assembly members, especially senators, asking them to jettison ‘distinguished’, which prefixed their title of Senators and has vowed to continue to criticise them for ‘bleeding’ the nation dry.

Exactly!!!
quote author=expialidocious post=60815853]Struck down but not destroyed. Show me a Nation which recovered as quickly as the Igbos after 3 years of attempted genocide... Igbos had to start afresh, forfeiting properties acquired all over the country while the ones back at home were destroyed... But today, it has been restored in thousand folds.
So tell me, why wouldn't they be jealous??

PoliticsPlease, Where Is Tinubu? by arabbunkum(op): 8:48am On Sep 16, 2017
After being a major catalyst in the political chemistry that displaced the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from power in Abuja, the man who ordinarily should be playing a leading role in resolving the country’s multiple issues has simply gone AWOL. Despite his periodic interventions and defence of the administration, everyone knows that this is not Tinubu’s game. Was this what Tinubu and other canvassers for change conceived? Given his excellent capacity in tapping talents, Tinubu’s mark in the APC administration is simply not there. Yes, appointments here and there for some of his friends and associates, but in the real matter of policy and political programming where he excels in, Jagaba has been left adrift. Nigeria is at the crossroads where those who catalysed the change that has hit the nation need to stand up to steer it towards the correct path. Some like Atiku Abubakar have renounced the pace and pattern of the government. But, whatever are Tinubu’s thoughts, he would find it difficult to act like Atiku because unlike the former vice-president, he, Tinubu was there with Buhari from the very beginning. The thinking now is that perhaps, Tinubu did not factor in the pervasive influence of the Kaduna Mafia of old in his projections of a Buhari presidency. In the present circumstances, he needs the prayers of his supporters to walk the right way to preserve a legacy of surviving the toughest wars.
