The news of the sieges on the residences of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, is both troubling and unsettling. No democratic nation ought to treat the leadership of its Parliament like common criminals. https://t.co/TOh1yGXD6Y

Buhari has been demystified long ago by these people, the first being when Bukky beat him to emerge the Senate President.
The likes of Kwankwaso knew he’s empty.

Going by the reports coming out of Abuja this morning, PMB needs to rein in the excesses of the IGP. If Saraki has been invited, then wait to see if he will honor the invitation before intimidating him the way he was today

It’s now official; IBB is no longer the Maradona of politics.
Senator Saraki has taken over.— Delta youth movement (@delta_youth) July 24, 2018
We have already knew that #Senate was dominates by opposition thank God now it's official
PDP – 64
APC – 44
APGA – 01@MBuhari it's time to get yours on the Senate, these people make you suffered alot it's time to rest now.— Muttaqa (@muttaka_hassan) July 24, 2018
Kwankwaso would have shot himself on the foot if he didn’t defect! He has indeed saved his political career. @RMKwankwaso has d ability to mobilize the NORTH en mass with a cult like follower-ship. No mass figures or cooked up figures from Kano any more!

Now I understand the saying "he who laughs last laughs the longest"
The @OfficialAPCNg persecuted Saraki like an orphan, now Saraki is having the best laugh.— Kubani (@KelvinIkenga) July 24, 2018
Saraki bad sharp guy, he just disappeared obviously beating the armed policemen to their game, and boom reappeared in the Chamber to break the heart of APC with the defection list. pic.twitter.com/jPEenbymwb

All in all, Nigeria deserves better than Buhari, Saraki or even Atiku in 2019. But again, these are the folks who control the resources, have loyal rich folks at the beck and call, have the backing of Senators, Ministers & Governors. So, don't expect a miracle. It is what it is.

I feel like, in order to make his Oga look good and to pre-empt Saraki's coming defection, Lai Mohammed will soon announce that Buhari is defecting to CPC, because the corruption in Saraki's APC is too much.
And his supporters will say this makes sense.

I hear Saraki disappeared in his convoy and appeared in the senate in the twinkle of an eye. #WakandaForever

Bukola Saraki yet to defect from the APC. This man should lecture politics in the university. He is the Don!

Breaking News! Despite the intimidation, harrasment and roadblocks by the @MBuhari led @OfficialAPCNg FG, the @NGRSenate is currently sitting and 16 Senators from the ruling @OfficialAPCNg has defected to the @OfficialPDPNig on the floor of the Senate. Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/TDLC7UlHsx

Interestingly, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, is yet to defect. Hate him or love him, he plays this game really well. https://t.co/jI3q0cLdQh

So you hound Saraki and get people to his side by your stupidity. Now you've lost 14 Senators, and more will follow as they realise the potential cost of having you around for another four years…
Daft.

In as much as it won’t be easy, most of these senators that decamped are only fighting 4 political survival. Including Saraki himself, fighting for Senate Presidency. The only person that hold weight a little among them is Kwankwaso. It’s either his political death or that or

While we shout about the siege being laid on the gates of Saraki, let's, most importantly, SHOUT EVEN MORE about the need to have security agencies who will only show loyalty to the country. This thing happens ALL the time.

If the same people sent to stop Saraki from presiding over the senate this morning are the same people tasked with keeping the people of Zamfara safe from bandits, what reasonable conclusion can we draw from this?
