Bukola Saraki And His Diminished Senate By Peter Claver Oparah

Bukola Saraki, the embattled Senate President, it never rains but pours. He has enjoyed a permanently stormy tenure since he went at his party's back and conspired and traded with the opposition PDP to steal and share the Senate leadership. He must be terribly disappointed that what he hoped for was not what he got. He must be distressed that what he felt was a brilliant coup has turned out to be his albatross. He must be surprised that his plan to ride roughshod over his party and secure immunity for himself through the Senate leadership is bouncing so hard on his head. He is dejected. He is distraught. He is perplexed.He is confused. He is crest fallen. Quite a pity. Saraki is facing the other side of raw, naked ambition even when he is dragging a mountain load of indiscretions which are now hunting for his head. He must have read badly of the disposition of his party and indeed the country, to put up with his conspiracy and even by the more annoying petulance he showed with his handling of the party's leadership position in the house and sharing of committee positions.
