The<br \/>\ntrain has left the station. Leopards cannot change their spots no matter<br \/>\nhow much one tries to tame them.<br \/>\n\u201cWe enjoin all our members to remain steadfast and resolute in defending<br \/>\ntheir rights and taking the appropriate action in defence of democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is interesting to suddenly see Mr. President holding meetings with the<br \/>\nSenate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, reportedly promising mouth-watering<br \/>\noffers; the same leader who was ridiculed, scandalized, demonized,<br \/>\ncriminalized and called all sorts of names by agents of the presidency<br \/>\njust to give the Senate President a bad name in order to hang him.\u201d<br \/>\nThe R-APC insist that Nigeria\u2019s democracy must survive on ethical grounds<br \/>\nand not on lawlessness and exclusion, adding that it must provide a level<br \/>\nplaying grounds for all participants.<\/p>\n<p>The R-APC further said; \u201cThose who prevented some persons from visiting<br \/>\ntheir states in the name of politics, have suddenly realised that they<br \/>\nneed the services and support of those persons.<br \/>\n\u201cThey are now pleading, ready to submit to all demands. Who does not know<br \/>\nthat won\u2019t work because examples have shown that political agreements are<br \/>\noften observed in the breach.\u201d<br \/>\nAfegbua also said that as soon as the Supreme Court gave a resounding<br \/>\nverdict on the trumped up and frivolous charges against the Senate<br \/>\nPresident, President Buhari suddenly felt a need to praise the judiciary<br \/>\nfor standing on its own, saying; \u201cHmm, power as they truly say, must be a<br \/>\ncrazy aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever a time has the number 3 (three) citizen of Nigeria been so<br \/>\ndehumanized, criminalised and disgraced in such whimsical manner while all<br \/>\nthe present reconciliators kept conspiratorial silence, waiting for the<br \/>\nsledge hammer to fall on the Senate President.<br \/>\n\u201cThey tried all tricks, mounted all manner of pressures, raised all<br \/>\ndubious allegations, just to nail the Senate President. They were short of<br \/>\ncalling him a promoter of armed robbery; they linked his name to the Offa<br \/>\nRobbery and improvised all biles to rubbish the institution of the<br \/>\nLegislature.<br \/>\n\u201cThey striped him naked in the market place and now desperately trying to<br \/>\nbath him with ornaments in the inner fortress of Aso Rock.<br \/>\n\u201cThe Chairman of the Code of Conduct displayed magisterial arrogance in<br \/>\nprosecuting the Senate President, but all that fell by the way side as the<br \/>\nSupreme Court gave one of its landmark judgments in recent time by giving<br \/>\nhim a clean bill of health.<br \/>\n\u201cPronto, all the political conspirators in the APC swoop into dubious<br \/>\nreconciliation assignment, hopping from door to door at the thick of the<br \/>\nnight to strike deals of reconciliation.<br \/>\n\u201cThose who said they won\u2019t lose sleep over the R-APC, have become<br \/>\nsleepless in the last two weeks.<br \/>\nDoes anyone need to be reminded that caveat emptor should be the operative<br \/>\nwords?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who pleaded in the past, short of kneeling before their<br \/>\nsubordinates, ended up in the political belly of their benefactors when<br \/>\nthe re-election was concluded. It is an albatross that some people are<br \/>\nstill carrying till date. Examples abound in this our democracy and it is<br \/>\nringing bell in our consciousness every now and then,\u201d Afegbua enthused.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The national leadership of the Reformed-All Progressives Congress (r-APC) on Sunday\u00a0took a look at the lobbying of its members by the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress not to defect&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
