THESE are not the best of times for Bukola Saraki, Senate President and chairman of the so-called 8th National Assembly that has done virtually nothing about its law-making responsibilities, but has continued to rip Nigerians off collecting huge allowances for practically sitting on its palm and watching the sun go down each day since it was inaugurated last June.

IT is not uncommon for Nigerian politicians to make a norm of the abnormal and by that pretend to be making some profound statement. These politicians who many times cannot think outside the box are too quick to copy habits and ways they know nothing about. I say this in the wake of criticisms that have been levelled against state governors yet to constitute their cabinets by appointing commissioners.

LESS than 48 hours before he clocked his hundredth day in office, Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria since May 29, 2015 and his deputy, Yemi Osinbajo, publicly declared their assets. Both men had made the pre-election pledge to declare their assets publicly not later than their first hundred days in office.

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari may have started moving into dangerous territories. He may indeed have begun the process of his own unravelling and ultimately of the destruction of his presidency by his own action.

THERE are not many things on which Nigerians agree as far as the achievements or non-achievements of the Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan governments are concerned. One of these contentious issues is about who should take credit for the observable improvement in power supply across the country in the last three months.
