Saraki’s ‘Coup’ Exposed!

By: Musa Adamu
President mohammed buhari is no stranger to coups, having himself participated in one which brought him in as a military head of state. He was also deposed through a military coup which ended nigerias arguably most disciplined government ever, arguments have been made concerning weather if his government had been allowed more time nigeria would have become better economically.


His return to nigerias apex seat was as a result of pubic nostalgia for a saner and less corrupt governance that had becom the other of the day, fast forward to today, the old man has indeed proved that a leopard cannot change its spots. He has not hiden his disdain for corruption making the fight against corruption a national anthem.
but corruption will always fight back and just like in 1985 corruption is about to carry out another coup (albeit a democratic one)  the senate has with recent stance shown that it is ready to remove or at least weaken the ability of the president to succed, first it has succeeded in manipulating the budget to assume the previous outlook (one that accomodate bogus and fraudulent constituency projects) removing or rejecting vital projects on flimsy excuses that they were not originally included in the budget submited (meanwhile the constituency projects were justifiably added by them) and it has declared categorically that the president will be forced to sign it
they have also concluded plans to break the power of the ccb in fighting corruption (so as to free saraki from accountability) and subsequently bribe the cct with 4billion unsolicited and unbudgeted fund inserted into the budget. All in a bid to take over the power of the presidency in takling corruption wich they represent (most of them were the same people in previous corrupt government). The previous system benefited them immensely, why will they want to change that?

They keyed into a popular slogan to get back power, now that the have the power only a coup will make sure they return things back to the way it was (which favoured them) and they have started the plot.
