\nBy Jude Ndukwe<\/p>\n

How fast things change? Howquickly destinies turn around? In the first
\nweek of July 2018, the police hadinvited the Senate President, Dr Bukola
\nSaraki, for questioning over theinfamous Offa Robbery. Tongues wagged,
\ncreating another round of tension in theland. Many could not understand
\nwhat was happening. But then, this is Nigeria;this is the country where
\nthe lust for power makes otherwise reasonable peopledo unreasonable
\nthings. Many thought it was a witch hunt. How could Saraki beinvolved in
\narmed robbery, remotely or otherwise? Many thought it waspolitical. But
\nwas it?<\/p>\n

The events of today make it seemso. Just about three weeks after the
\npolice invitation to Saraki, thenewsstands are awash with stories of
\nPresident Muhammadu Buhari \u2018begging\u2019 thesame Saraki not to leave the APC.
\nNot only that, some APC leaders and governorswho had kept silent and
\nprobably out of blind loyalty to the president andtheir party even when it
\nwas very obvious that they were not being fair toSaraki both as a person
\nand as the President of the Senate of the FederalRepublic of Nigeria,
\nmocked and enjoyed every bit of the humiliation dished outto him for
\nnearly three years and nearly all the entire period of the
\nBuhari\u2019sadministration, are now acting sanctimoniously and speaking like a
\npeople whohave just regained their decency just because of the threat
\nSaraki\u2019s planneddefection would have on them and their party at the 2019
\nelections.<\/p>\n

These same people spoke ill ofSaraki whose only \u2018offence\u2019 was that he
\nlegitimately contested for the Senatepresidency, something that was within
\nhis rights to do, and won, to the extentthat Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in
\na communiqu\u00e9 he released sometime in October2015, described Saraki\u2019s
\nemergence as Senate President as a \u201ccrass act ofdisloyalty\u201d. Since then,
\nSaraki has been visited with immense political venomwhose cure could only
\nbe found in the long and tortuous road to the SupremeCourt. State agents
\nwere unleashed not only on him but also nearly on all thosewho stood by
\nhim particularly in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Those set to destroy him did noteven mind also destroying the institution
\nof the legislature alongside. Theynot only unleashed moral and
\npsychological violence on him through the securityagencies, they also
\nunleashed the media against him. In some cases, fake CSO\u2019swere hired to
\ndemonise him in hurriedly arranged protest marches usuallycarried out by
\nprotesters who hardly knew why they were actually out in thestreets.<\/p>\n

Members of the executiverecklessly maligned the National Assembly. Ibrahim
\nMagu is still the EFCCChairman today despite being declared unfit and not
\nqualified to head that allimportant organization having been indicted by a
\nsister security agency, theDSS, in a number of alleged criminal breaches,
\nand the non-confirmation of theSenate.<\/p>\n

It was because of theirrepressible urge to destroy Saraki and break him
\nthat made theComptroller-General of Customs constantly and flagrantly
\nignore Senate summonsand resolutions without any consequence. Even the
\nInspector-General of Policehas not hidden his disdain for the institution
\nof the legislature havingserially refused to appear before the Senate to
\nexplain issues about theworsening security situation in the country, all
\nbecause of Saraki, the man whomust be destroyed. Or was it not the same
\npolice that told Nigerians thatinvestigation into the mace theft at the
\nSenate in the midst of the Omo-Agegesaga would take ten years?<\/p>\n

Apart from being treated like acommon school boy truant by his own party
\nco-leaders, a good number of theexecutive have not fallen short of
\nlabeling the whole National Assembly membersas thieves and looters. This
\nis where my worry comes from. With APC leadersincluding Buhari having
\nmouthed the anti-corruption mantra for so long and sohard, why would they
\nstill want people they labeled looters in their midst? Whynot just allow
\nthem to go?<\/p>\n

The truth is that the semblanceof sanity we have in our political climate
\ntoday is down to Saraki\u2019s maturityand exhibition of political equanimity,
\nsuch that is rare in our clime, in theface of extreme provocation and
\nunnecessary persecution. If Saraki had at anypoint decided to wield the
\nenormous powers at his disposal and that of theNational Assembly, the
\nnation would have been plunged into a crisis ofmonumental proportion whose
\nend no one would have been able to predict. But obviouslyfor the sake of
\nthe nation, Saraki bore the persecution and carried his crosswith
\nmeekness.<\/p>\n

Now is the time to stamp his feetand just walk away from a party that is
\nwired to destroy its own. When Tambuwalemerged Speaker of the House of
\nRepresentatives against the arrangement of histhen party, the PDP, he was
\nnever subjected to any humiliation but was given afree hand to operate. He
\nwas never persecuted. But the same cannot be said ofAPC. They are of a
\ndifferent species set up to end up destroying not only itsown but also our
\ninstitutions in the process.<\/p>\n

This is why Saraki and all thosewho have become tired of the ugly
\nsituation in the country must dissociate anddivorce themselves from those
\nwho have serially betrayed the trust of Nigerians.A party and government
\nthat have denied their campaign promises even whenwritten will deny any
\nagreement with the Senate President and the R-APC memberseven if such
\nagreement is written as reportedly being demanded by Saraki.<\/p>\n

A government and party thatridicule our constitution and institutions even
\nthe judiciary by assaultingjudicial officers and recklessly invading their
\nprivacies under the guise ofexecuting arrests, and disobeys validly
\npronounced court orders and judgements,is not a government or party to
\ntrust.<\/p>\n

Even if Saraki must remain inAPC, he should make himself further a
\nstatesman by making demands that benefitnot only himself or the
\nlegislature but also the people at large. Apart fromrequesting that he
\nmust be accorded the full rights, privileges and respect hedeserves as a
\nSenate President, he must also request the following:<\/p>\n

– That the dignity of the National Assembly must be restored by
\nensuring that all government appointees who have failed Senate
\nscreening but are still being foisted on the nation by the executive
\nvacate office immediately
\n– That all government appointees who had at one time or the other
\nignored, refused and or deliberately failed to answer summons of the
\nSenate must return to apologise to the National Assembly and Nigerians
\nfor ridiculing one of the legacy institutions of our democracy
\n– That all those involved in the recent mace theft at the Senate and
\ntheir sponsors be fished out and prosecuted immediately
\n– That all those who are being detained illegally and refused bail even
\nafter multiple court rulings granting them bail be released forthwith
\nas long as they have met their bail conditions
\n– That those who have been held without trial for so long, including
\nJones Abiri, be released forthwith
\n– That political persecution of opposition voices using state
\napparatuses must stop forthwith
\n– That properties of some political leaders that were destroyed by some
\nstate governments because of the victims\u2019 dissenting voices be rebuilt
\nforthwith
\n– That all those whose rights have been abridged one way or the other
\nbecause of their opinions on state or national issues, including those
\nwho were sacked from their jobs in the process, some who have also
\nsuffered both physical and psychological injuries, be reinstated and
\nadequately compensated
\n– That all government appointees, cronies or servants, who have been
\nindicted in one crime or the other by a report from either arm of the
\nNational Assembly, be removed and prosecuted forthwith
\n– That all those indicted in the 2015 massacre of Shiite Muslims in
\nZaria in 2015 and those involved in the murder of citizens during the
\n\u201cOperation Python Dance\u201d in the South East be arrested and prosecuted
\n– That the menace of Fulani herdsmen terrorists all over the country be
\nchecked and those who had been reported to have publicly boasted about
\nthe killings while threatening more be arrested and prosecuted
\nforthwith, among other demands meant to restore order and decency in
\ngovernance and guarantee the fundamental human rights of all citizens,
\nthe enthronement of justice, equity and fairness, and the progress of
\nthe nation<\/p>\n

To me, these are very soundgrounds on which Saraki can negotiate with
\nPresident Muhammadu Buhari and theAPC leadership. If there is any man
\ndivinely positioned to correct all theseanomalies particularly at this
\ntime, that man is Saraki. His persecution by theAPC government has
\nunintentionally thrown him up as the leader of a greatnumber of suffering
\nNigerians who are now in the majority. He must seize thisopportunity and
\nmake it count for posterity. He must eschew any selfish agendaand ride on
\nthe grace God has placed on him to snatch the country back fromtyranny and
\ndespotism. If it does not work out in the next one week, he shouldleave
\nthe APC urgently as time is ticking. He must not allow the APC tocunningly
\nbuy time with him.<\/p>\n

Nigerians are daily beingafflicted with tears, sorrow and blood under the
\nAPC-led federal government.Saraki can defect and set the tone for a new
\nagenda immediately no matter theparty he eventually goes to. God has given
\nhim the opportunity now to stopaffliction from rising a second time in our
\nnation. Will he take it or will helet it slip by? The choice is Saraki\u2019s!<\/p>\n
