The Rise and Fall of His Excellency!

The senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki thought he had successfully damaged the reputation of President Muhammadu Buhari and has become very popular among the populace to challenge the president in the 2019 election.

He saw himself as the hero of PDP and in turn of Nigerians seeing the results of his media propaganda whipping up the sentiments of the uninformed who were hailing him on social medias.

He lived in his dream, became proud and was certain of his victory at the PDP primary election.

He felt like a president already, going to different states wooing delegates to support his ambition. He was too confident of himself that he would emerge the presidential candidate of the PDP, thinking himself the man of the moment.

 But man, proud man, drest in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he is most assured, his glassy essence like an angry ape plays such fantastic tricks before high heavens as to make the angels weep.

 His devastating defeat at the PDP convention, a disappointing and disgracing 317 votes startled him back to reality as his political future now looks very gloomy. Resuming at the Natinal Assembly today, he held a closed door meeting with the senators of both parties to sheath their swords and put national interest above individual interest. Come 2019, either PDP or APC wins, saraki can not be president, vice president and can not even return as senate president, afterall, nobody trust a snake.

A politician that cannot give his word and stand by it. Now sober and humbled, Saraki thought National Interest shd come above individual interest (yet he can not be trusted as a cunning politician) but at least, he has lost his goodwill. What a way to rise and fall.
