Buhari. Daura & Saraki. |
One-thing about Nigerian
politics that baffles me is the fact that speculations, accusations and
counter-accusations reign supreme, where truth is put at the back, deceiving
Nigerians while we live in abject poverty.
Infact, at some point,
politician make the populace believe more lies being told constantly and
consistently that we do not know the difference anymore between what the truth
is and when lies are being pushed to deceive us.
After the siege by the DSS at
the National Assembly gate preventing members of the National Assembly from
having access to their offices, news had it that the already sacked Director
General of the agency, Lawal Daura was working for the Senate President,
Abubukar Bukola Saraki and one wonders how a man as highly placed as Lawal
Daura who is reputed to be a very tough human with direct blood relationship
with President Muhammadu Buhari would allow himself to be bought over by the
senate president who is perceived to be the number one enemy of the president?
What this whole drama and
speculations tell some of us who are gate-watchers of the political scenes in
Nigeria is that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki has over the years, grown politically
to the extent that he has powers to buy over the Director General of the DSS, an
appointee of the president, said to be his close blood relative and one of
those clamouring for the return of the president for a second term.
What some of us are asking is,
what would the senate president have given to Lawal Daura to buy him over to
blackmail a man who put him in office?
Is this really how powerful
Bukola Saraki has become politically in Nigeria that he could buy an appointee of
the president over just like that?
If the reason or reasons for
which the siege at the National Assembly had materialized, would anyone be
talking about the betrayal of the president by Daura?
The days ahead will clear some
of these political doubts in the country right now.
