The show of horror by Members of the 8th National Assembly on Thursday, 25/06/15, is the furthering of another Political Acrobatics in Nigeria.
What Nigerians continue to get by way of humiliation from this legislative temple, is too decimal a repugnant disdain, having once again sponsored an army of touts and shameless hooligans to the National Upper and Lower Chambers under the disguise of change .
Lest we forget, on Thursday November 20, 2014, Nigerians woke up to the appalling sight of this change seeking members of the House of Representatives scaling the fence of the National Assembly while their colleagues waiting for thier turn to do same claps to cheer themselves up even as they get televised on national television.
Personally, I had concluded that Nigeria has come to stay since we could cross the 2015 presidential election oddles and entered into the much talked about 'Change Era' propagated by the APC; but Alas, i was wrong!
Nigerian political class have once again rebranded an old wine with a new bottle and sold to nigerians as CHANGE.
Indeed, these undiscerning multitude of about 200 million people have been lured into buying an old order for a CHANGE, without any form of addition, adjustment, advancement, break-away from the past, compression, contraction, conversion, correction, development or an iota of difference from what use to be.
What Manner of Change?
Is it not surprising that the A.P.C (with the way she is handling the current National Assembly Issue) is acting directly opposite her statement in the pre-election days that "Nigeria’s politics is broken, and that the nation urgently needs fundamental political reform and improvement in governance, more transparency and accountability"
The Buhari led APC government have displayed incompetence and lack of preparedness since the last one month of her ascension to power with the president acting as the Commander in Chief, as Ministers, Special Advisers and Personal Assistance to himself all at the same time.
Is this the Change we bought?
Can you imagine what adjectives and phrases the APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohamed would have invoked if this were to be a PDP government?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Nigerians are not gullible but will always give any government more than enough time to proof herself worthy of the people's mandate or not. Let the All Progressive Congress as a party desist from the impunity of dabbling into the affairs of government both at the executive and the legislative angles and allow those elected by Nigerians carry out their duties as spelt out by the law of the land.
Nigerians deserves the CHANGE they were promised.
