SARAKI, ONE OF MOST INFLUENTIAL POLITICIANS IN NIGERIA TODAY - BUHARI - VANGUARD NEWS

This one has moved beyond a party matter. Saraki has effectively conducted a coup against Buhari, and right now, Buhari's hands are tied and Buhari knows it.

Saraki is now negotiating with NLC and ASUU on when to strike and not strike; unilaterally rejecting Magu based on a DSS report (that I guess Buhari did not see before sending Magu's name to the senate for confirmation! Jesu!); unilaterally rejecting the request for loan.... etc. etc. Buhari has now become a lame duck.... unable to do nada.

Saraki is fully in charge of Nigeria. That is just the way it is. And, it is not surprising, because Saraki is a deft political operator. As the chairman of the governor's forum, he operated as a capo de tuti. Ultimate gangsta. Pocketed all of the other governors, and wielded the powers of that position with precision. He is doing the same as Senate president.

The leadership of the NASS has taken control. Buhari is fumbling. It started with the crazy lopsided appointments he made in his bid to unify the old North. And things have gotten progressively worse. How can one explain that the DSS under the control of Buhari did not send a letter disapproving Magu's nomination to Buhari but the same DSS will send a letter disapproving of Magu to Saraki?!?! Did Buhari not ask the DSS for a security vetting on Magu?

Anyway egbon, na siddon look mode now o..... Like Nigerians like to say: "it is well".
