GHALI NA’ABBA’S BREAD AND BUTTER POLITRICKS
Alhaji Umar Ghali Na’Abba the former Speaker of the House of Representatives recently decamped from the Action Congress (AC) to People’s Democratic Party (PDP) where he was originally. He exhausted politician has been talking from both sides of his mouth that the reason he left the Action Congress was because of the apparent absence of internal democracy.
But the point that must be made is that Na’Abba was never in AC because he cherishes democracy so much, he was in AC in search of what to eat and how to keep body and soul together. He is perpetually hungry, and the former Vice President has shown him so much care and largesse he has collected more than N100million from him, the same way he frequents the Kano State Government House to go and solicit for money in a very shameless manner. Are the reasons Na’Abba gave for leaving PDP been removed?
They are still there, the truth is that he is not getting money the way he used to get in AC, and since PDP is in power, he has to quickly return to his vomit to keep body and soul together. And, in no time at all, those in PDP will soon get fed up with his insatiable and gluttony demand for money. This are the kind of people that gives bad name to politics, he does not stand for anything, he is in politics because of what he can chop, not because he really wants to render any service, that is why he is running from pillar to post when nobody is pursuing him.
AC will not in any way miss Ghali Na’Abba, he is a political liability that was why he did not clinch the Kano State gubernatorial under the Action Congress (AC). He is roundly resented by his people because of his arrogance and shallowness. In fact, all the reasons he gave for leaving AC has exposed him as an unrepentant tribalist and not a convinced nationalist. He is not a credible personality that can be looked up to. He is a rudderless and spineless that is more concerned about his pocket and not the welfare of the Nigerian people.
