Extracted excerpt: Many people chose not to see what was wrong in what Tambuwal has doing because he was doing it to the PDP; and for the opposition. During the day, he would perch majestically on the exalted chair he grabbed by virtue of his membership of the party, but at night he would sneak into conclaves of those seeking to destroy the party and flush it out of power. Anything that is wrong is wrong, whether it is being perpetrated by the ruling party or the opposition. It is, in fact, more dangerous if it is being perpetrated by the opposition because it means there is no hope. Society is trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea. The opposition must show a ray of hope, rather than merely demonstrating its capacity to outdo the ruling party in political malfeasance. In order to ensure the success of this odious scheme, Tambuwal adjourned our House of Reps for FIVE long weeks to enable him see if he could grab the governorship or presidential ticket of the APC. If he failed, he would come back. Even if PDP wanted him removed they would not be able to summon the two-thirds majority. Unfortunately, many Nigerians are not looking at the number of legislative man-days Tambuwal has sacrificed on the altar of his selfish ambition. They are not looking at the 2015 budget, which could be passed within this period. They are not seeing that Tambuwal has crippled the legislative arm of government and put his personal ambition above national interest. All they are seeing is the rightful step taken by the Nigeria Police to get him to obey the Constitution, having moved to another political party. In the absence of any other person to get Tambuwal to obey the Constitution, who else, if not the Police, should enforce the law? In Edo State, four members of the House moved from APC to PDP. The Speaker of the House of Assembly simply did the right thing by declaring their seats vacant, while they went to court to seek redress. That is the correct and democratic order of things in a society under the rule of law. Tambuwal and all members of the Senate and House of Reps who crossed from one party to the other in the past one year must vacate their seats pending court verdicts. Failure to do so amounts to a rape of the constitution. The Police must protect the constitution from these political rapists.
