Uncertainty grips Nigeria political sphere as Senate hurriedly adjourns till September as opposition becomes majority

There's currently tension in the Nigeria political sphere as the Nigerian senate on Tuesday hurriedly adjourned plenary until September 25 after house minority parity became majority following the defection of 15 lawmakers, creating an uncertainty in the nation’s political environment.

Opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is now in majority with the day’s defection of the 15 lawmakers from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

And somebody has something to say about the development

Right from my days in secondary school I have always engaged in political discussion and I find it laughable when people say I am being too political in discussion. Truth is that when you keep silence over things that matter when you ought to have spoken, it only but prove one thing 'betrayal'.

It is a betrayal to keep silence in the face of tyrannical government as such as the one we are experiencing now. A government who will stop at nothing to destroy opposition just to cover their incompetence in power.

The plot to impeach the Senate President today failed. The presidency got the information about the planned defection of APC senators today and hurriedly invited the Senate President to answer a case of offa robbery today, so that he will be detained and given the Senator Abaribe treatment.

Why he will be incarcerated, the supporters of Mr President will then impeach the Senate president and doing so instill fear on those planning to defect. But they were dealing with more sophisticated man and people with knowledge. You can never fight a man with an ideology, not even with the power of the gun.

Saraki outsmarted them when he left his residence early as 5am knowing his house will be lay siege by those puppet of security agencies we have in this country. Actually they did but too late as they couldn't find him even at the convoy. Did I told you that even the deputy Senate residence was also lay sieged on? Yes it was. A desperate attempt of drowning men who will do anything to hold on to power but I am afraid it is too late now.

Saraki finally drove into the national assembly complex where the plenary was held and finally the defectors made their move. A big loss to the ruling party for an opposition becoming majority in the house. Kudos to Godswill Akpabio if he will be made the majority leader now as against the minority he is. (TEEJAY)
